Installation and Configuration of virtualization using KVM

1. Objectives: From this experiment, the student will be able to,


• Understand the concepts of virtualization.
• Understand KVM architecture and its configuration.

2. Outcomes: The learner will be able,

• To analyze user models and develop user centric interfaces


• To analyze the local and global impact of computing on individuals,
organizations, and society.
• To engage in life-long learning development and higher studies.
• To understand, identify, analyze and design the problem, implement and
validate the solution including both hardware and software.

3. Hardware / Software Required: Ubuntu operating system, open source software


KVM, Internet.

4. Theory:

Virtualization is software that separates physical infrastructures to create


various dedicated resources. It is the fundamental technology that powers cloud
computing.
The technology behind virtualization is known as a virtual machine monitor
(VMM) or virtual manager, which separates compute environments from the
actual physical infrastructure.
Virtualization makes servers, workstations, storage and other systems
independent of the physical hardware layer. This is done by installing a
Hypervisor on top of the hardware layer, where the systems are then installed.
There are three areas of IT where virtualization is making headroads, network
virtualization, storage virtualization and server virtualization:
• Network virtualization is a method of combining the available resources
in a network by splitting up the available bandwidth into channels, each of
which is independent from the others, and each of which can be assigned (or
reassigned) to a particular server or device in real time. The idea is that
virtualization disguises the true complexity of the network by separating it into
manageable parts, much like your partitioned hard drive makes it easier to
manage your files.
• Storage virtualization is the pooling of physical storage from multiple
network storage devices into what appears to be a single storage device that is
managed from a central console. Storage virtualization is commonly used in
storage area networks (SANs).
• Server virtualization is the masking of server resources (including the
number and identity of individual physical servers, processors, and operating
systems) from server users. The intention is to spare the user from having to
understand and manage complicated details of server resources while increasing
resource sharing and utilization and maintaining the capacity to expand later.
Virtualization can be viewed as part of an overall trend in enterprise IT that
includes autonomic computing, a scenario in which the IT environment will be
able to manage itself based on perceived activity, and utility computing, in
which computer processing power is seen as a utility that clients can pay for
only as needed. The usual goal of virtualization is to centralize administrative
tasks while improving scalability and work loads.

5. Procedure:

Installation Steps :
1. #sudo grep -c "svm\|vmx" /proc/cpuinfo
2. #sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin bridge-utils virt-manager
3. #sudoadduserrait
#sudoadduserraitlibvirtd
After running this command, log out and log back in as rait
4. Run following command after logging back in as rait and you should see an
empty list of virtual machines. This indicates that everything is working correctly.
#virsh -c qemu:///system list
5. Open Virtual Machine Manager application and Create Virtual Machine
#virt-manager
6. Result:
SNAPSHOTS
Step 1 : #sudo grep -c "svm\|vmx" /proc/cpuinfo

Step 2 : #sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin bridge-utils virt-manager


Step 3 : #sudoadduserrait
After running this command, log out and log back in as rait

Step 4 : #sudoadduserraitlibvirtd
After running this command, log out and log back in as rait

Step 5 : Open Virtual Machine Manager application and Create Virtual Machine #virt-
manager as shown below
Step 6 : Create a new virtual machine as shown below
Step 7 : Install windows operating system on virtual machine

Step 8: Installation of windows on virtual machine


Step 9: Installation of windows 7 on virtual machine

Step 10: Initialization of windows on virtual machine
