Installing the RHEV-Manager packages
Update your Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system to the latest up-to-date version by
running the following command:
# yum -y upgrade
Reboot the machine if the upgrade installed the latest version of the kernel.
After a successful upgrade, run the following command to install RHEV-M and its depend-
ent packages:
# yum -y install rhevm
There are a few conditions you need to consider before configuring RHEV-M:
• We need a working DNS for forward and reverse lookup of FQDN. We are going
to use the Red Hat IdM server configured with the DNS role in the rest of the
chapter for domain name resolution of the entire virtualization infrastructure.
Please refer to Chapter 10 , Setting Up iSCSI, NFS, and IdM Directory Services for
RHEV , to set up the basic IdM server on RHEL 6. Refer to the Red Hat Identity
Management Guide for more information on how to add forward and reverse
zone records to the configured IdM DNS at https://access.redhat.com/documenta-
tion/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Identity_Management_Guide/
Working_with_DNS.html .
Note
You can't install Identity Management software on the same box where the man-
ager is going to be deployed due to some package conflicts.
• To store ISO images of operating systems in order to create a virtual machine, you
need Network File Server ( NFS ) with a planned NFS export path. If your man-
ager machine has sufficient storage space to host all your ISOs, you can set up the
ISO domain while configuring the manager to set up the NFS share automatically
through the installer to store all your ISO images. If you have an existing NFS
server, it's recommended to use a dedicated export for the ISO domain to store the
ISO images instead of using the manager server to serve the NFS service.
• Here we are going to use a dedicated local mount point named /rhev-iso-
library on the RHEV Manager box to store our ISO images to provision the
