Create the Zone Virtual Machine

This is part four of a five-part process.

1. Open the zone.conf file, which you obtained when you untarred the release tar file.
2. Update zone.conf as described in the comments in the file.
   

   Note

   In zone.conf, do not enclose values in double-quotes. For example, to configure NTP, NTP_CONF=1 is correct. NTP_CONF="1" is incorrect.
3. Copy zone.conf to xvmconf.
   

   # cp zone.conf xvmconf

4. Copy the xvmconf file to the qcow image.
   

   # virt-copy-in -a <absolute-path-for-zone-qcow2-file> xvmconf /etc/

5. Install the zone VM.
   

   virt-install --name zone201  --ram 4096 --vcpus 2 
   --disk path=/home/user/sbrBuilds/zone1-xvm.qcow2,bus=sata  --nographics --import 
   --os-variant centos7.0 --network bridge:<name-of-bridge> --console pty,target_type=virtio

   

   Note

   The <name-of-bridge> variable is the name of the bridge that is built into your host system. You can use the ifconfig command to identify the bridge configuration of the host.
   The VM starts up.
6. Provide the following credentials to log in.
   • user name: root
   • password: password
7. Follow the automated instructions to complete the installation.
