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.
   • To be able to discover 9920 devices that have IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, set the eth0_ADDRTYPE variable to v4v6 and enter both addresses.
   • To be able to discover 9920 devices that have only IPv4 addresses, set the eth0_ADDRTYPE variable to v4 and then enter the addresses.
   • You cannot change the mode (v4 or v4v6) after you install Visibility Manager.
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.
6. Provide the following credentials to log in.
   • user name: root
   • password: password
7. Follow the automated instructions to complete the installation.
