Red Hat Virtualization
Performance Checklist
In this lab, you will create an additional data center and a new cluster in your Red Hat Virtualization environment.
Outcomes
You should be able to:
Create a new data center.
Create a new cluster.
Log in to the workstation VM as the student user, with student as the password.
On workstation, run the lab datacenters-review start command.
This command runs a start script that determines if the Red Hat Virtualization environment is configured and working.
[student@workstation ~]$lab datacenters-review start
On
workstation, open the Firefox web browser. Log in to theRed Hat Virtualization ManagerAdministration Portal using thehttps://rhvm.lab.example.comURL. The username isadminand the password isredhat.Create a new data center named
productionusing the default values.In the menu, click Data Centers in the Compute section.
Click the button on the Data Centers tab.
In the New Data Center window, enter
productionin the Name field. Keep the default values for the other fields. Click the button to create the data center.A pop-up window titled Data Center - Guide Me opens. Click the button to create the empty data center.
Create a pool of MAC addresses named
mac-pool-clustertwowith56:6f:07:a7:14:01through56:6f:07:a7:14:0aas the MAC address range.Create a new cluster named
clustertwoin theproductiondata center. Useovirtmgmtas the management network, use an appropriate CPU Type that could supporthosta, theLinux Bridgeswitch type, ensure that the cluster can run virtual machines, and usemac-pool-clustertwofor the MAC addresses pool. Do not add any hosts to the cluster yet.In the menu, click , and then click on .
Create a pool of MAC addresses with
mac-pool-clustertwoas the name and56:6f:07:a7:14:01through56:6f:07:a7:14:0aas the MAC address range.In the window, select
MAC Address Poolsfrom the left menu list.Click the button to bring up the New MAC Address Pool window.
Enter
mac-pool-clustertwoin the name field.In the MAC Address Ranges fields add 56:6f:07:a7:14:01 in the From field.
Add 56:6f:07:a7:14:0a to the To field.
Click the button to close the New MAC Address Pool window.
In the menu, click , and then click on . In the tab select
hosta.lab.example.comon the host list.In the Hardware section of the General tab, determine the value for the CPU Type field. In this classroom, the same CPU type is used by
hostb,hostc, andhostd.In the menu, click , then click on . At the top right hand side of the window, find and click the button.
In the New Cluster window, make sure the General section is being displayed, and enter the following configuration settings:
Select
productionin the menu.Enter
clustertwoin the field.Select
ovirtmgmtin the menu.Select
x86_64in the menu.Select the CPU type for your hardware in the menu.
Select
4.3in the menu.Select
Linux Bridgein the menu.Check the Enable Virt Service checkbox to allow hosts in this cluster to run virtual machines.
Keep the default values for the other fields.
Click the MAC Address Pool tab, then change Default value to mac-pool-clustertwo value in the MAC Address Pool dropdown.
Click to create the
clustertwocluster.Click in the pop-up window titled Cluster - Guide Me.
Verify that the
clustertwocluster exists and belongs to theproductiondata center.While still being in the page under , verify that the
clustertwocluster appears in the list of available clusters.You should see
productionas the data center forclustertwoin the Data Center column of the same page. The fact thatproductionappears in the Data Center column forclustertwoconfirms that theproductiondata center exists.
