How-To
Setup a Virtual Server Host
Embedded Files
Section Three
In this section I will explain how to install libvirt to allow cockpit access to create, manage and delet virtual machines.
Log back into Cockpit
Expand "Other options" to display "Connect to"
Enter in the following information
Username
Password
For "Connect to" enter in localhost
Navigate to Terminal
Type in the following
yum install libvirt -y
After the install reboot the server. To reboot click on "Overview" and select "Reboot" at the top right corner.
A new window will pop up asking if you will like to notate a reason for the reboot and if you would like to delay. I usually put no notes since it is my server and no delay
After reboot
You will have to log back in
After logging in select on "Virtual Machines"
Now you will have options.
Enjoy machine virtual machines!
For more information check out the Cockpit Project site
Notes:
When making virtual machines and powering on for the first time, the VM will have a internal private ip. To fix this you will need to power off the VM and edit the network adapter to bridge to your host adapters.
Click on "Edit" on the right side
Select the following
Interface Type : Direct attachment
Source: This will have to be your actual network adapter or a free one if your pc has more than one
Mode: select "bridge"
