On each VM, install the VirtIO paravirtualized network driver (virtio-net) for the guest operating system. When creating a VM using virsh, or when editing the VM domain XML descriptor file, use care when entering data such as UUIDs, as you will receive no indication of incorrect data values or formats.įor each VM, edit the domain XML descriptor file to configure a vNIC interface that is directly attached to the VIC and uses the port profile defined in UCS Manager.įor more information about configuring a VM interface, see Configuring the VM Interface. On each KVM server, use virsh or virt-manager to create one or more VMs.įor more information about installing VMs using these libvirt-based utilities, see the documents listed in Related Cisco UCS Documentation. On each KVM server, verify that the Intel VT-x processor extensions for virtualization are enabled in the BIOS.įor more information about configuring BIOS settings, see the Cisco UCS Manager GUI Configuration Guide.
Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.1 or later as the hypervisor on each physical server that will be used for VM-FEX for KVM.įor more information about installing RHEL as the hypervisor, see the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization for Servers Installation Guide. If not already present, install one or more Cisco UCS M81KR Virtual Interface Card adapters in each physical server that will be used for VM-FEX for KVM.įor more information about installing a Cisco UCS M81KR Virtual Interface Card, see the Cisco UCS 5108 Server Chassis Hardware Installation Guide.
