KubeVirt Installation

Prerequisites

• StarlingX is up and running.

• System is Alarm free.

  $ fm alarm-list
  

Procedure

Complete the following steps to install KubeVirt.

1. Upload and apply the KubeVirt package (Helm).

   # system application-upload /usr/local/share/applications/helm/kubevirt-app-1.0-17.tgz
   # system application-apply kubevirt-app
   # system application-show kubevirt-app
   # system application-list
   

2. Check all the objects are up and running.

   # kubectl get all -n cdi
   # kubectl get all -n kubevirt
   

   Note

   When installing the containerized KubeVirt application, the virtctl client is installed on the host. You can test the client by running virtctl in an SSH / Local Console shell of the controller.

3. Optionally, Install noVNC in order to access a VM’s graphical console thru a browser.

   Note

   noVNC is used to access a VM’s graphical console in a browser, where virtctl provides access to the VM’s serial console.

   Create and apply vnc-install.yaml.
