Exercise: VM setup for NFS

  • Clone kvm1 to a new NFS server VM host, master, by executing the command below: 
    virt-clone --connect=qemu:///system -o kvm1 -n master -f /home/hostadm/KVM/master.qcow2
  • Check if the new VM is in the list, start it, then login to its console: 
    virsh list --all
virsh start master
virsh console master
  • Fix the host name:
    Replace kvm1 with master in /etc/hostname file.
  • Reset the machine ID by running the following commands on master: 
    rm -f /etc/machine-id
rm /var/lib/dbus/machine-id
dbus-uuidgen --ensure=/etc/machine-id
dbus-uuidgen --ensure
  • Clear the DHCP leased IP settings: 
    dhclient -r ens3
  • Execute command reboot
    Reboot the VM. After reboot, the new VM should come up with the correct host name and the MAC address.
  • Clone kvm1 to a new NFS client VM host, n01, by executing the command below: 
    virt-clone --connect=qemu:///system -o kvm1 -n n01 -f /home/hostadm/KVM/n01.qcow2
    Fix the host name and the host ID of n01 in the same way as for master VM above.
