  • Two network interfaces to support vSZ-D.
  • Before you power on vSZ-D, ensure that the networking is configured on LINUX.
  • Recommended to use static network addresses that are assigned to vSZ-D during setup.
  • Using CentOS 7, install KVM package with the yum command.
    root@localhost ruckusvnc]# yum -y install qemu-kvm qemu-img virt-manager virt-viewer virt-install libvirt libvirt-phthon libvirt-client
  • Ensure KVM is active and running the following command
    [root@localhost ruckusvnc]# systemctl status libvirtd
  • Edit the following commands and file.
    sudo yum install grub2-common
    gedit /etc/default/grub
    GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
    GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
    GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
    GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
    GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="crashkernel=auto rd.lvm.lv=centos/root rd.lvm.lv=centos/swap rhgb quiet intel_iommu=on"
    GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
    
    
    sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
  • Reboot Linux host.
