This guide will help you install a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization configuration, then set up an
instance of Red Hat CloudForms to manage it. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization provides the
underlying structure for running and storing virtual machines. Red Hat CloudForms provides
management capabilities for orchestrating sets of virtual machines, tracking the health of the
infrastructure, and shifting resources to adapt to existing conditions.
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and Red Hat CloudForms are part of the Red Hat Cloud
Infrastructure solution, along with Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform. Setting up a Red
Hat Enterprise Virtualization and Red Hat CloudForms installation is a good place to begin forming
the foundation for a potentially larger cloud infrastructure.

1.1. Underst anding Red Hat Cloud Infrast ruct ure
Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure brings together the best open source cloud management, hypervisor,
networking, and orchestration features available today in one integrated and supported solution.
With your Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure cloud, you and your organization can manage:
A few or a few thousand virtual machines.
A couple of hard disks or huge storage arrays.
A single hypervisor or hundreds of them.
One flat network or dozens of physical and virtual networks.
The data center in your small office or all your data centers around the world.
Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure lets you build your own open private hybrid cloud. Open means it can
quickly leverage and adapt to new open source technologies as they become available. Private
means you can secure your most critical data within the infrastructure you own and control. Hybrid
means you can integrate with existing cloud technologies (such as VMware vCenter or Microsoft
Hyper-V Server) or direct some of your workload to public cloud providers, such as Amazon EC2.
All the software you need to establish your own cloud infrastructure is included with Red Hat Cloud
Infrastructure. Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the standard for enterprise-quality Linux systems, forms the
foundation for Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure host and management systems. Within Red Hat Cloud
Infrastructure is a consolidation of three Red Hat products:
R ed H at C lo u d Fo rms
Red Hat CloudForms lets you establish a consistent management interface over part or all
of your company's cloud infrastructure. Red Hat CloudForms can orchestrate (launch a set
of virtual machines together), set policies (when hosts or virtual machines hit limits,
reassign resources), run reports (watch over the health of your cloud), and manage quotas
(set user-based limits on how much memory, processor and storage resources can be
used). For information on supported features in Red Hat CloudForms, see Platform Support
Matrix CloudForms Management Engine 5.3.
R ed H at En t erp rise Virt u aliz at io n
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization consists of a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager
(to manage virtual machines and other Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization components) and
one or more host computers for running virtual machines (also referred to as hypervisors or
2
⁠1 . St art ing wit h Red Hat Cloud Infrast ruct ure: Red Hat CloudForms and Red Hat Ent erprise Virt ualiz at ion
compute nodes). From the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager, you can connect to
storage, configure networking, manage user roles, and run reports. Red Hat CloudForms
makes requests to the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager for services via the Red
Hat Enterprise Virtualization application programming interface (API).
R ed H at En t erp rise Lin u x O p en St ack Plat f o rm ( R H EL O p en St ack Plat f o rm)
Like Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, the primary function of RHEL OpenStack Platform is
to launch and manage virtual machines. Instead of a single Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization Manager, however, RHEL OpenStack Platform can have services split across
multiple controller nodes. As with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, Red Hat CloudForms
manages RHEL OpenStack Platform assets via an API.
In the tradition of open source software, Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure can tap into your company's
existing infrastructure, connecting to features from other open source or proprietary solutions. So
you can either add on new peripheral technologies to Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure or use the
following technologies you already have on site:
St o rag e
You can use storage features built into Red Hat Enterprise Linux or other third-party
products that offer NFS, iSCSI, or fibre channel storage. Note that there are additional steps
to perform Red Hat CloudForms SmartState Analysis when using iSCSI or fibre channel
storage. See the Red Hat CloudForms Management Engine 5.2 Installation Guide for
details.
Au t h en t icat io n
Authentication can be handled within Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization without requiring
additional authentication services (with the ad mi n user doing local authentication). This is
how authentication is shown in this guide.
However, if your enterprise already has centrally managed network authentication, such as
Red Hat Identity Management, Microsoft Active D irectory, Red Hat D irectory Server 9, or
some other LD AP-based authentication (such as OpenLD AP), Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization lets you authenticate through those services. See the Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization Installation Guide for details. Red Hat CloudForms, however, currently only
supports local (ad mi n user) or Active D irectory authentication when requesting services
from Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization.
So f t ware Man ag emen t
By connecting a Red Hat Satellite server into your computer infrastructure, you can manage
ongoing software updates and deploy systems from bare metal. Future releases of Red Hat
Cloud Infrastructure will include Red Hat Satellite server, as part of the entitlements that
come with Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure, for deploying and managing cloud components.
T h ird - Part y Virt u aliz at io n an d C lo u d Pro vid ers
If you are currently running virtual machines in virtualization or cloud environments such
as VMware vCenter or Microsoft Hyper-V Server, you can begin using Red Hat CloudForms
to manage those environments, along with your Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and RHEL
OpenStack Platform providers. This allows you to manage all of your cloud platforms from
the same place and in a consistent way.

Because Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and RHEL OpenStack Platform provide many of the same
basic features (primarily, the ability to manage and run virtual machines across many host
computers), questions arise about what workloads are most appropriate for those two products. Here
are some comparisons of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and RHEL OpenStack Platform:
C o n f ig u rat io n C o mp lexit y
With Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, most of the services for managing the Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization environment are built into the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
Manager. With RHEL OpenStack Platform, services can be divided up in many different
ways and spread across multiple systems. This makes Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
easier to set up initially, but more difficult to disperse management services across multiple
manager nodes. RHEL OpenStack Platform, on the other hand, offers much more flexible
configurations that can be more complex to manage, with services spread across multiple
controller nodes.
C u st o miz ed Virt u al Mach in es
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is best for running customized virtual machines, such as
desktop installations. RHEL OpenStack Platform is best suited for more generic virtual
machines that do not change much, but need to be deployed over and over again. An
analogy that is sometimes used in this case is that Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is best
for managing pets (each of which requires personal attention), while RHEL OpenStack
Platform is best suited for handling cattle (which are managed more in a production line
than individually).
D u rat io n
Because Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is best for holding more individualized virtual
machines, they might tend to stay around longer. For RHEL OpenStack Platform, typical
virtual machines are more likely to do their jobs, then be discarded and spun up fresh
again when needed.
Keep in mind that either Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization or RHEL OpenStack Platform can handle
any of the workloads just described here. What we are talking about is the kinds of workloads that
each is best suited for. An organization might choose to configure separate Red Hat CloudForms
and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, and Red Hat CloudForms and RHEL OpenStack Platform
environments, choosing Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization to offer virtual desktop systems and RHEL
OpenStack Platform to run internal web mail or employee information services.

1.3. Underst anding Red Hat Ent erprise Virt ualiz at ion and Red Hat
CloudForms Inst allat ion
The goal of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and Red Hat CloudForms installation process
described in this guide is to create a solid Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization infrastructure that is
managed by Red Hat CloudForms.
Before you begin the actual Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and Red Hat CloudForms installation
process, you need to have some of the following in place:
C o mp u t ers
The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager can be installed on a physical host or as a
virtual machine on a KVM host. There is also a feature called Hosted Engine that, with
special setup, allows the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager to run as a virtual
4
⁠1 . St art ing wit h Red Hat Cloud Infrast ruct ure: Red Hat CloudForms and Red Hat Ent erprise Virt ualiz at ion
machine on a host in the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment. As for host systems
(Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor or Red Hat Enterprise Linux host), they should
run directly on physical computers.
N et wo rk In t erf aces
At least one network interface (referred to as the rhevm network) is required between the Red
Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager, host systems (which can be Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization Hypervisor appliances or Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts) and storage. You
can create additional network interfaces to separate traffic, depending on your needs. For
example, you can separate network that provides access to public networks from your
virtual machines, a fast connection to databases, or a dedicated network for migrating
virtual machines between hosts.
St o rag e
Three different types of storage domains are used in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization. An
ISO domain stores ISO images you can launch or install from. A data domain is where you
can get space to assign as back-end storage for the virtual machines. An export domain is
used to import and export virtual machines into and out of the Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization environment. A variety of storage technologies can be used to create the
storage domains, including iSCSI, NFS, Fibre Channel, and Red Hat Storage.
Au t h en t icat io n
Roles to use and administer your Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment can be
assigned in a local authentication database or can leverage user accounts from Red Hat
Identity Management, Red Hat D irectory Server 9, or Microsoft Active directory. If you have a
central authentication server in place, you can identify it when you install the Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization Manager.
Installation of a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization setup consists of the following basic steps:
1. Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux: You need to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux as a
prerequisite to installing the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager software.
2. Install the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager on Red Hat Enterprise Linux: The Red
Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager is the system that manages your Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization infrastructure. Using Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure or Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization entitlements, subscribe your system, then install and configure your Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization Manager. D uring the configuration process, you need to identify
such things as the system's host name, the storage you will use, how authentication is done,
and other information. For the example in this guide, local authentication and NFS storage is
used.
3. Install Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor: Install the Hypervisor minimal operating
system on one or more physical computers you want to act as your host computers (also
referred to as compute nodes or hypervisors in other environments). To create a Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization host you can either install a RHEV-H appliance or install a Red Hat
Enterprise Linux system and add the necessary Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and
hypervisor software to it. For the example in this guide, the RHEV-H appliance is used.
4. Register Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
Manager: Once each host is installed, you can have it register itself with the Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization Manager. After that, the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager
can begin using it for running virtual machines.
5
Red Hat Cloud Infrast ruct ure 4 Q uick St art for Red Hat Ent erprise Virt ualiz at ion and Red Hat CloudForms
5. Set up storage domains and connect those storage domains to the Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization Manager: From the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager, you need to
identify different storage areas needed by the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment.
6. Configure Red Hat CloudForms: A Red Hat CloudForms appliance can be installed as a
virtual machine on a host in the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment. It can then be
used to manage the assets of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment.
With Red Hat CloudForms in place and communicating with the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
Manager, you can start using Red Hat CloudForms to manage the resources within your Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization environment. See Section 5, “ Explore What's Next” for ways to start using
your new Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and Red Hat CloudForms configuration.

2. Inst alling Red Hat Ent erprise Virt ualiz at ion
A Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment is installed in three stages. First, install and
configure the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux physical
machine. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager provides a graphical user interface to manage
the physical and logical resources of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization infrastructure. Second,
install and configure a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor on a second physical machine,
and add the Hypervisor to the Manager. The Hypervisor is the host on which virtual machines are
run. Third, set up storage domains on a third physical machine, and attach those storage domains
to the Manager. The data, ISO, and export storage domains provide back-end storage for virtual
machine data and ISO files.
Following the procedures in this guide will produce a working environment with a Manager, one
Hypervisor, and three storage domains.
Note
This section outlines only the basic options for installing Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization,
such as using NFS as the back-end storage for the storage domains. For more information on
advanced configuration options, see Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Installation Guide
2.1. Requirement s for Red Hat Ent erprise Virt ualiz at ion
The following are the requirements for installing a basic Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
environment:
One physical machine on which to install the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager. This
machine must have Red Hat Enterprise Linux installed. For this machine, 16 GB of memory is
recommended; a minimum of 4 GB memory is required.
One physical machine on which to install the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor. This
machine must have Virtualization enabled in the BIOS. For this machine, 8 GB of memory is
recommended; a minimum of 2 GB memory is required.
One physical machine on which to install storage domains. This machine must have Red Hat

2.7. Set t ing Up St orage Domains
A storage domain is a formatted volume that stores some of the data required to run a Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization Environment. In order to have a working environment, you must have three
storage domains:
1. D ata D omain
15
Red Hat Cloud Infrast ruct ure 4 Q uick St art for Red Hat Ent erprise Virt ualiz at ion and Red Hat CloudForms
2. ISO D omain
3. Export D omain
The ISO storage domain is automatically created and added to the Manager during the Manager
installation process. You must set up the data domain and the export domain, and add both to the
Manager.
Use a machine that is neither the machine on which the Hypervisor runs nor the machine on which
the Manager is installed. This means that you must have a third machine (in addition to the machine
on which the Hypervisor runs and the machine on which the Manager is installed) in order to set up
storage domains. Hosting storage on a dedicated machine allows for optimized access to storage
domains, and avoids any conflicts caused by sharing CPU and memory with other processes. The
ISO domain is hosted on the Manager itself, because it stores only moderately-sized ISO files, and
can be easily accessed when creating a new virtual machine or attaching an ISO file to a virtual
machine to perform a task. The data domain and export domain experience a much higher volume of
read and write operations, and benefit from being hosted on a dedicated machine.
The process of setting up storage domains involves two steps: the first step is setting up and turning
on exports from within the file system of the machine hosting the storage domains, and the second
step is logging in to the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Administration Portal and adding
the storage domains to the environment.
2 .7 .1 . Pre paring NFS St o rage
Set up NFS shares that will serve as a data domain and an export domain on a Red Hat Enterprise
Linux server. It is not necessary to create an ISO domain because the Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization Manager installation procedure creates one.
1. Install nfs-utils, the package that provides NFS tools:
# yum install nfs-utils
2. Configure the boot scripts to make shares available every time the system boots:
#
#
#
#
chkconfig
chkconfig
chkconfig
chkconfig
--add rpcbind
--add nfs
rpcbind on
nfs on
3. Start the rpcbind service and the nfs service:
# service rpcbind start
# service nfs start
4. Create the data directory and the export directory:
# mkdir -p /exports/data
# mkdir -p /exports/export
5. Add the newly created directories to the /etc/expo rts file. Add the following to
/etc/expo rts:
/exports/data *(rw)
/exports/export *(rw)
16
⁠2 . Inst alling Red Hat Ent erprise Virt ualiz at ion
6. Export the storage domains:
# exportfs -r
7. Reload the NFS service:
# service nfs reload
8. Create user vd sm:
# useradd vdsm
9. Create the group kvm:
# groupadd kvm
10. Add the user vd sm to the group kvm:
# useradd -G kvm vdsm
11. Set the ownership of your exported directories to 36:36, which gives vdsm:kvm ownership.
This makes it possible for the Manager to store data in the storage domains represented by
these exported directories:
# chown -R 36:36 /exports/data
# chown -R 36:36 /exports/export
12. Change the mode of the directories so that read and write access is granted to the owner, and
so that read and execute access is granted to the group and other users:
# chmod 0755 /exports/data
# chmod 0755 /exports/export
Report a bug
2 .7 .2 . At t aching NFS St o rage
Attach an NFS storage domain to the data center in your Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
environment. This storage domain provides storage for virtualized guest images and ISO boot
media. This procedure assumes that you have already exported shares. You must create the data
domain before creating the export domain. Use the same procedure to create the export domain,
selecting Expo rt / NFS in the D o mai n Functi o n / Sto rag e T ype list.
1. In the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Administration Portal, click the St o rag e
resource tab.
2. Click New D o mai n.

5. Enter the Expo rt P ath to be used for the storage domain.
The export path should be in the format of 192.168.0.10:/data or domain.example.com:/data.
6. Click O K.
The new NFS data domain is displayed in the Sto rag e tab with a status of Lo cked until the
disk is prepared. The data domain is then automatically attached to the data center.
