RHVH 4.1 Installation Steps for Red Hat Virtualization Host

Red Hat Virtualization Host (RHVH 4.1) is installed using a special build (Download Link)of Red Hat Enterprise Linux with only the packages required to host virtual machines. It uses an Anaconda installation interface based on the one used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts, and can be updated through the Red Hat Virtualization Manager or via yum. Using the yum command is the only way to install additional packages and have them persist after an upgrade. In this article we are going to see RHVH 4.1 installation
RHVH features a Web interface for monitoring the host’s resources and performing administrative tasks. Direct access to RHVH via SSH or console is not supported, so the Cockpit user interface provides a graphical user interface for tasks that are performed before the host is added to the Red Hat Virtualization Manager, such as configuring networking and deploying a self-hosted engine, and can also be used to run terminal commands via the Tools > Terminal.
Access the Cockpit user interface at https://RHEV-HOST-FQDN:9090 in your web browser. Cockpit for RHVH includes a custom Virtualization dashboard that displays the host’s health status, SSH Host Key, self-hosted engine status, virtual machines, and virtual machine statistics.

If we want to what exactly happens since the start of tomcat then we need to log that into a new file. By default we have log rotation enabled on this logs. For now let us stop tomcat and nullify the catalina.out file and then start tomcat to have some new info in the catalina.out # service tomcat stop # cd $CATALINA_HOME/logs # :> catalina.out (or) cat /dev/null > catalina.out # ll catalina.out -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 16:19 catalina.out # service tomcat start # ll catalina.out -rw-r----- 1 root root 17341 Feb 18 16:21 catalina.out We can see the log being written after the start of tomcat.

It interacts with individual RHEV-Hosts using the Virtual Desktop Server Manager (VDSM). A VDSM agent is running on each of the RHEV-H nodes. RHEV-M allows administrators to manage/control number of data centers and their network, compute and storage resources. In addition RHEV-M provides a central repository for storing virtual machines, disks, images and virtual machine snapshots.
