Prepare Host and Environment

This section describes how to prepare the physical host and virtual environment for a StarlingX R3.0 virtual All-in-one Simplex deployment configuration.

Physical host requirements and setup

Prepare virtual environment and servers

The following steps explain how to prepare the virtual environment and servers on a physical host for a StarlingX R3.0 virtual All-in-one Simplex deployment configuration.

  1. Prepare virtual environment.

    Set up the virtual platform networks for virtual deployment:

    bash setup_network.sh

  2. Prepare virtual servers.

    Create the XML definitions for the virtual servers required by this configuration option. This will create the XML virtual server definition for:

    • simplex-controller-0

    The following command will start/virtually power on:

    • The 'simplex-controller-0' virtual server
    • The X-based graphical virt-manager application
    bash setup_configuration.sh -c simplex -i ./bootimage.iso

    If there is no X-server present errors will occur and the X-based GUI for the virt-manager application will not start. The virt-manager GUI is not absolutely required and you can safely ignore errors and continue.
