== Installing the virtualization packages
|
|
|
|
When installing Fedora, you can install the virtualization packages by
|
|
selecting *Virtualization* in the *Base Group* in the installer. See https://docs.fedoraproject.org/f27/install-guide/install/Installing_Using_Anaconda.html[Installing Using Anaconda].
|
|
|
|
|
|
For existing Fedora installations, you can install the virtualization tools via the command line using the Virtualization Package Group. To view the packages, run:
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
$ dnf groupinfo virtualization
|
|
|
|
Group: Virtualization
|
|
Group-Id: virtualization
|
|
Description: These packages provide a virtualization environment.
|
|
|
|
Mandatory Packages:
|
|
=virt-install
|
|
|
|
Default Packages:
|
|
=libvirt-daemon-config-network
|
|
=libvirt-daemon-kvm
|
|
=qemu-kvm
|
|
=virt-manager
|
|
=virt-viewer
|
|
|
|
Optional Packages:
|
|
guestfs-browser
|
|
libguestfs-tools
|
|
python-libguestfs
|
|
virt-top
|
|
----
|
|
+
|
|
. Run the following command to install the mandatory and default packages in the virtualization group:
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
$ su -c "dnf install @virtualization"
|
|
----
|
|
+
|
|
Alternatively, to install the mandatory, default, and optional packages, run:
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
$ su -c "dnf group install with-optional virtualization"
|
|
----
|
|
+
|
|
. After the packages install, start the `libvirtd` service:
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
$ su -c systemctl start libvirtd
|
|
----
|
|
+
|
|
To start the service on boot, run:
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
$ su -c systemctl enable libvirtd
|
|
----
|
|
+
|
|
. To verify that the KVM kernel modules are properly loaded:
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
$ lsmod | grep kvm
|
|
kvm_amd 55563 0
|
|
kvm 419458 1 kvm_amd
|
|
----
|
|
+
|
|
If this command lists `kvm_intel` or `kvm_amd`, KVM is properly
|
|
configured. See How_to_debug_Virtualization_problems#Ensuring_system_is_KVM_capable[
|
|
Ensuring system is KVM capable] for troubleshooting tips. (NEEDS EDITING)

=== Networking Support
|
|
|
|
By default, libvirt will create a private network for your guests on the
|
|
host machine. This private network will use a 192.168.x.x subnet and not
|
|
be reachable directly from the network the host machine is on. However,
|
|
virtual guests can use the host machine as a gateway and can connect out
|
|
via it. If you need to provide services on your guests that are
|
|
reachable via other machines on your host network you can use iptables
|
|
DNAT rules to forward in specific ports, or you can set up a bridged environment.
|
|
|
|
See the http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking[libvirt networking setup
|
|
page] for more information on how to setup a bridged network.
