KVM Test

Lab environment

VMwareWorkstation15 pro+Ubuntu18.10 64bit server VM function as hostserver

Pre-installation checklist

Check that your CPU supports hardware virtualization

vmx(Intel),svm（AMD）

$egrep -o '(svm|vmx)' /proc/cpuinfo

vmx
vmx
vmx
vmx

$sudo kvm-ok

INFO: /dev/kvm exists
KVM acceleration can be used

Use a 64bit kernel (if possible)

$egrep -c 'lm' /proc/cpuinfo
$uname -m

Install KVM

$sudo apt update
$sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm qemu-system libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients bridge-utils vlan

The libvirt-bin package was split into two parts:

libvirt-daemon-system

libvirt-clients

In most cases you probably want both of them at the same time.

Verify Installation

$virsh list --all

Config libvirtd service

$sudo service libvirtd start
$sudo update-rc.d libvirtd enable
$sudo service libvirtd status

Network configuraton

Config network bridge:br0

$sudo vi /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml
