Exercise: VM setup for NFS

  • Clone kvm1 to a new NFS server VM host, master, by executing the command below: 
    virt-clone --connect=qemu:///system -o kvm1 -n master -f /home/hostadm/KVM/master.img
  • Check if the new VM is in the list, start it, then login to its console: 
    virsh list --all
virsh start master
virsh console master
  • Fix the host name and the MAC address:
    remove line with "127.0.0.1 kvm1" in /etc/hosts file, then
    replace kvm1 with master in /etc/hostname file, 
    cp /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
reboot
    After reboot, the new VM should come up with the correct host name and the MAC address.
  • Clone kvm1 to a new NFS client VM host, n01, by executing the command below: 
    virt-clone --connect=qemu:///system -o kvm1 -n n01 -f /home/hostadm/KVM/n01.img
  • Fix the host name and the MAC address of n01 by following the procedure similar to that with master above.
