Chapter 3. Getting started with OpenShift Virtualization
Chapter 3. Getting started with OpenShift Virtualization You can explore the features and functionalities of OpenShift Virtualization by installing and configuring a basic environment. Note Cluster configuration procedures require cluster-admin privileges. 3.1. Planning and installing OpenShift Virtualization Plan and install OpenShift Virtualization on an OpenShift Container Platform cluster: Plan your bare metal cluster for OpenShift Virtualization . Prepare your cluster for OpenShift Virtualization . Install the OpenShift Virtualization Operator . Install the virtctl command line interface (CLI) tool . Planning and installation resources About storage volumes for virtual machine disks . Using a CSI-enabled storage provider . Configuring local storage for virtual machines . Installing the Kubernetes NMState Operator . Specifying nodes for virtual machines . Virtctl commands . 3.2. Creating and managing virtual machines Create virtual machines (VMs) by using the web console: Quick create a VM . Customize a template to create a VM . Connect to VMs: Connect to the serial console or VNC console of a VM by using the web console. Connect to a VM by using SSH . Connect to a Windows VM by using RDP . Manage VMs: Stop, start, pause, and restart a VM by using the web console . Manage a VM, expose a port, or connect to the serial console by using the virtctl CLI tool . Export VMs . 3.3. steps Connect the VMs to secondary networks: Connect a VM to a Linux bridge network . Connect a VM to an SR-IOV network . Note VMs are connected to the pod network by default. You must configure a secondary network, such as Linux bridge or SR-IOV, and then add the network to the VM configuration. Live migrate VMs . Back up and restore VMs . Tune and scale your cluster
