Objectives
After completing this section, students should be able to review and refresh knowledge and skills learned in Red Hat Virtualization.
Reviewing Red Hat Virtualization
Before beginning the comprehensive review for this course, students should be comfortable with the topics covered in each chapter.
Students can refer to earlier sections in the textbook for extra study.
Chapter 1, Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) Overview
Explain the purpose and architecture of Red Hat Virtualization.
Describe the purpose of Red Hat Virtualization and its architectural design.
Chapter 2, Installing and Configuring Red Hat Virtualization
Install a minimal Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) environment and use it to create a virtual machine.
Install Red Hat Virtualization Host (RHV-H) on a computer that will host virtual machines.
Install Red Hat Virtualization Manager (RHV-M) as a VM on the Red Hat Virtualization Host system.
Configure storage domains in Red Hat Virtualization that can be used to store virtual machine disks and installation media.
Use the Administration Portal to manually create a Linux virtual machine running in the Red Hat Virtualization environment.
Chapter 3, Creating and Managing Data Centers and Clusters
Organize hypervisors into groups using data centers and clusters.
Explain the purpose of a data center for organizing hosts, and create a new data center.
Explain how clusters are used to group hosts in a data center, and create a new cluster.
Chapter 4, Managing User Accounts and Roles
Configure user accounts using a central directory service. Assign access to resources based on job responsibilities using roles.
Configure Red Hat Virtualization to authenticate users based on information in a central directory service.
Control resource access and management in Red Hat Virtualization using Roles.
Explain the purposes of the User Portal and the Administration Portal, and provide a high-level overview of these user interfaces.
Chapter 5, Scaling RHV Infrastructure
Add and remove Red Hat Virtualization Hosts, both manually and with automated provisioning.
Remove hosts from an existing cluster for maintenance or reassignment, and add hosts to increase the capability of a cluster in a data center.
Configure a network installation and kickstart server as provisioning tools in the Red Hat Virtualization environment.
Chapter 6, Managing RHV Networks
Separate network traffic into multiple networks on one or more interfaces to improve the performance and security of Red Hat Virtualization.
Create logical networks to segregate traffic in a data center.
Configure hosts to use available logical networks.
Configure RHV to use networks provided by an external OpenStack provider.
Chapter 7, Managing RHV Storage
Create and manage data storage domains.
Explain how data storage domains and the Storage Pool Manager work.
Create and manage data storage domains from NFS, iSCSI, and GlusterFS sources.
Explain how to configure volume and image storage from an external OpenStack provider.
Chapter 8, Deploying and Managing Virtual Machines
Operate virtual machines in the Red Hat Virtualization environment.
Install virtual machines that are optimized and configured for the Red Hat Virtualization environment.
Change configuration or virtual hardware of an existing virtual machine.
Create a template of a Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtual machine, and use it to deploy a new virtual machine.
Deploy a virtual machine using a template configured to use cloud-init.
Chapter 9, Migrating Virtual Machines Between Hosts
Migrate and control automatic migration of virtual machines between hosts in a single cluster.
Migrate virtual machines from one host to another within a cluster in the Red Hat Virtualization environment.
Configure virtual machines to automatically schedule and migrate VMs using cluster policies.
Chapter 10, Managing Virtual Machine Images
Manage virtual machine snapshots and disk images.
Create, restore, and delete snapshots of virtual machine images.
Import and export virtual machine images between data centers in a Red Hat Virtualization environment.
Chapter 11, Introducing the Infrastructure Migration Solution
Describe the Infrastructure Migration Solution for migrating production virtual machines and networks from a VMware vSphere environment to Red Hat Virtualization.
Describe how virtual machines and network are migrated from a VMware ESX environment to KVM hypervisors and RHV Manager.
Chapter 12, Managing Red Hat Virtualization Infrastructure
Back up, restore, and upgrade the software in a Red Hat Virtualization environment.
Backup and restore a Red Hat Virtualization Manager (RHV-M) server.
Perform upgrades and minor updates to Red Hat Virtualization Manager and Red Hat Virtualization Hosts.
Chapter 13, Implementing High Availability
Explain procedures to improve the resiliency and reliability of Red Hat Virtualization by removing single points of failure and implementing high availability features.
Describe the methodologies used to implement a resilient RHV infrastructure, including redundant networks, storage, and power management.
Configure hosts and virtual machines to enable high-availability features and failover in the event of a host failure.
