⁠3. Track A

⁠3.1. Track A: Standard Setup

Track A describes the installation and configuration of a basic Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment. Track A requires you to have more than one host and shared storage.
Track A consists of:
  • four basic labs
  • four advanced labs (optional)
The basic labs describe how to create virtual machines and assign them to users.
The advanced labs describe how to apply Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization to real-life enterprise operations. This includes:
  • protecting against hardware failure by using high-availability
  • assigning different levels of user permissions to virtual machines, storage, and servers to reflect the needs of your organization
  • reconfiguring red hat enterprise linux servers so that they function as virtual machine hosts
  • provisioning virtual desktops for users
If you have three to four physical servers and one shared storage resource, set up a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment by following the labs in Track A - Standard Setup. The labs in this track are color coded red, so to determine if a lab is part of Track A, look for a red square in the diagram at the start of each lab.

Evaluation Track A

Figure 1. Evaluation Track A

After you complete Track A, you will have an environment that includes the following:
  • two virtual machine hosts
  • shared storage
  • a network
  • two portals (User Portal and Web Administration Portal)
  • User clients
  • a host running the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager

Track A - Standard Setup Labs

  • Install and Configure Basic Setup: Install the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor, configure storage and define networks (75 minutes).
  • Create Virtual Machines: Create virtual machines and templates from the administration portal (25 minutes).
  • Live Migration Scenarios: Configure automatic virtual machine live migration during hardware downtime (10 minutes).
  • Power User Portal: Create and manage virtual machines from the power user portal (35 minutes).
The basic labs allow you to evaluate how Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization can be deployed in your environment.
The advanced labs show you how to optimize your Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization setup. The advanced labs have additional hardware requirements, which are listed at the start of each advanced lab.

Track A - Advanced Labs (optional)

  • Manage Multi-Level Administrators: Manage administrators for each component of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (10 minutes).
  • High Availability Scenarios: Configure power management and high availability (30 minutes).
  • Add Additional Data Center: Create an additional data center with Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts. (35 minutes)
  • Virtual Desktops: Access desktop pools using the SPICE connection protocol (50 minutes).
