Setting up the physical Host



We also use CentOS 7 on the real machines. This makes life easier, because we only need to know CentOS config style. Of cause you could use other Linux distribution on the real host.

1. Step: Install CentOS 7


2. Step: Install KVM

Required packages:

yum install qemu-kvm libvirt bridge-utils

Start libvirt:

systemctl start libvirtd
systemctl enable libvirtd

Install KVM real machine
