but it's not tested and supported. Similarly, tablet and touchscreen versions of
browsers are also not supported and tested at the time of writing this topic.
Install a supported SPICE client in order to access virtual machine consoles. Check the
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager release notes to see which SPICE features
your client supports.
Storage
You need a storage type of NFS, ISCSI, SAN, POSIX, Red Hat Storage (GlusterFS), or
local storage for data domains to store virtual machine images. The NFS system is re-
quired in order to store your ISO library and to export and import virtual machines for
complete image backup and restoration of virtual machine images.
Directory services (optional)
While setting up RHEV-M, the RHEV-M installer script will create its own internal admin
user for the initial configuration and setup. To add more users, you need to attach the man-
ager to one of the supported directory services:
• Active Directory Red Hat Identity Management ( IdM )
• Red Hat Directory Server 9 (RHDS 9)
• OpenLDAP
Networking and Domain Name Service
For the host networking and fully qualified domain name resolution, you need the follow-
ing:
• A static IP address for RHEV-M and for each hypervisor host management net-
work.
• A DNS service that can resolve both forward and DNS entries for those static IP
addresses.
• An optional existing DHCP server that can address the network address for the
virtual machine.
Virtual machines
We need installation images in order to create virtual machines and their valid license or
subscription entitlement for each operating system. We will use these ISO images and
later upload them to the ISO domain in order to use them as an installation media that de-
ploys the operating system on a virtual machine.
