4. Track B
4.1. Track B: Minimal Setup
Track B describes the installation and configuration of a minimal Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment on a single host, using local storage.
Track B consists of:
- three basic labs
- two advanced labs (optional)
The basic labs describe how to create virtual machines and assign them to users.
The advanced labs include:
- using the multi-level administration system to assign different levels of user permissions (this is ideal for companies with diverse employee roles)
- provisioning virtual desktops for users
If you have two physical servers and no shared storage, set up a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment by following the labs in Track B - Minimal Setup. The labs in this track are color coded blue. To determine if a lab is part of Track B, look for a blue square in the diagram at the start of each lab.
After you complete Track B, you will have the following environment that includes the following:
- one virtual machine host
- local storage
- a network
- two portals
- user clients
- a host running Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager
