H.3. Virtualization Host User Accounts
H.3. Virtualization Host User Accounts A number of system user accounts are created on the virtualization host when the vdsm and qemu-kvm-rhev packages are installed. Each system user has a default user identifier (UID). The system user accounts created are: The vdsm user (UID 36 ). The qemu user (UID 107 ). The sanlock user (UID 179 ). The ovirt-vmconsole user (UID 498 ). Important The user identifiers (UIDs) and group identifiers (GIDs) allocated may vary between systems. The vdsm user is fixed to a UID of 36 and the kvm group is fixed to a GID of 36 . If UID 36 or GID 36 is already used by another account on the system a conflict will arise during installation of the vdsm and qemu-kvm-rhev packages.
