Summary

In this chapter, you learned:

  • Installing guest agents for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Microsoft Windows allows RHV-M to see additional virtual machine information, such as the host name, IP address, and logged in users.

  • Advanced Options allow you to refine the hardware on your virtual machine, including specifying the number of virtual sockets, cores, threads per core, and a CPU type for the virtual machine.

  • A template is a copy of a virtual machine used to simplify subsequent creation of similar virtual machines.

  • A virtual machine that will be used as a template must be sealed by removing any configuration information, authentication keys, and data unique to the original machine.

  • The cloud-init tool can automate provisioning of new virtual machines to help prevent configuration conflicts.
