1. Install Ubuntu Server 12.04 64bit
(Total Hard Disk Size = 200GB and 4GB RAM)
Hostname: U-HOST
Partitioning
method: Manual
Create #1 primary
30.0GB f ext4 /
Create #2 primary
8.0GB f swap swap
Create #3 primary
176.7GB k lvm
Choose software to
install: [*] OpenSSH server
Install the GRUB
boot loader to the master boot record? <Yes>
2. After the base server installed, do
the update
root@U-HOST:/iso#apt-get
update
root@U-HOST:/iso#apt-get
dist-upgrade
3. Install packages
root@U-HOST:/iso#apt-get
install ubuntu-virt-server python-vm-builder kvm-ipxe
4. Add the current user to the group
libvirtd
root@U-HOST:/iso#adduser
'root' libvirtd
root@U-HOST:/iso#adduser
'root' kvm
To check if KVM
has successfully been installed, run
root@U-HOST:/iso#virsh
-c qemu:///system list
it should display
something like this:
root@U-HOST:~#
virsh -c qemu:///system list
Id Name
State
----------------------------------
5. Install bridge-utils... (In Ubuntu
12.04, this is package is already installed)
root@U-HOST:/iso#apt-get
install bridge-utils
6. configure a bridge,
root@U-HOST:/iso#nano
/etc/network/interfaces
Before the modification, it file is looks as follows: # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp
After
modification, it will looks as follows,
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet manual auto br0 iface br0 inet static address 192.168.122.21 network 192.168.122.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.122.255 gateway 192.168.122.1 dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 bridge_ports eth0 bridge_fd 9 bridge_hello 2 bridge_maxage 12 bridge_stp off
After the modification of 'interface'
file, restart networking service,
root@U-HOST:/iso#/etc/init.d/networking
restart
It should now show the network bridge
(br0):
root@U-HOST:/iso#ifconfig
it will show following,

Reboot the server now.
7. Create the Physical Volume
#apt-get
install lvm2
Check the partitions by run,
#cat
/proc/partitions
It should looks like this,
root@U-HOST:~#
cat /proc/partitions
major
minor #blocks name
253
0 209715200 vda
253
1 29295616 vda1
253
2 7812096 vda2
253
3 172605440 vda3
11 0 1048575 sr0
The 'vda3' is the lvm partition, you
can check it by this,
root@U-HOST:/iso#fdisk -l
Disk
/dev/vda: 214.7 GB, 214748364800 bytes
255
heads, 63 sectors/track, 26108 cylinders, total 419430400 sectors
Units
= sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector
size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O
size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

/dev/vda1
* 2048 58593279 29295616 83 Linux
/dev/vda2
58593280 74217471 7812096 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/vda3
74217472 419428351 172605440 8e Linux LVM
Create physical volume
root@U-HOST:~#
pvcreate /dev/vda3
Physical volume "/dev/vda3" successfully created
Create volume group
root@U-HOST:~#
vgcreate vgpool /dev/vda3
Volume group "vgpool" successfully created
”vgpool”
can be replace with any name you want
Create logical volume
root@U-HOST:~#
lvcreate -L 30G -n win7 vgpool
Logical volume "win7" created
30G is the partition size, win7 is the
logical volume name, vgpool is the volume group that created from
previous step
8. Now you can install virtual machine
from command line
Install virtinst by run,
root@U-HOST:/iso#apt-get
install virtinst
I am going to use a Windows 7 ISO file
where is located at
/iso/Windows.7.SP1.ENG.x86-x64.MAFIAA.iso
Install the Windows 7 Virtual Machine
by running following command,
root@U-HOST:/iso#virt-install
--connect qemu:///system --name=win7vm --ram=2048 --disk
path=/dev/vgpool/win7 --cdrom=/iso/Windows.7.SP1.ENG.x86-x64.MAFIAA.iso --network
bridge=br0,model=virtio --os-type=windows --noautoconsole --graphics
vnc,listen=0.0.0.0,port=5901 –hvm
Starting
install...
Creating
domain...
| 0 B 00:01
Domain
installation still in progress. Waiting for installation to complete.
9.
Install an virtual machine via “Virtual Machine Manager”
You
can install “Virtual Machine Manager” from Ubuntu Software Centre
on a Ubuntu Desktop Then, connect to
In
“Virtual Machine Manager”, go to File -> Add Connection
Type “yes” in following windows
In Nex Window, type in the user's password
After
enter the password, you will see the “win7vm” in “Virtual
Machine Manager”
Double click the virtual machine “win7vm”, it will show you the virtual machine status,
You
can finish the Windows 7 installation by using Virtual Machine
Manager
