Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV), an enterprise virtualization product, based on the KVM hypervisor. It provides a centralized virtualization manager with a web interface named RHEV-M, to manage virtual machines on the RHEL-H hosts. RHEV uses Virtual Desktop Server Manager (VDSM) agent in the hosts to manage virtual machine services.
The RHEV-M web interface provides a very simple, easy-to-use and intuitive GUI interface for all virtual machine operations. The features provided by these tools include taking snapshots of virtual machines, creating virtual networks and live migration of virtual machines to another RHEV host.
Once you have configured the required hardware setup:
Install RHEV on the target systems.
Create and launch the required RHEV virtual machines.
See Setting up a virtual machine in the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) environment.
Proceed to install the required Veritas InfoScale product on the guest or host:
See Installing Veritas InfoScale Solutions in the RHEV environment.
Configure VCS for virtual machines
Configure Storage Foundation as backend storage for virtual machines
