KVM Configuration
This module allows you to enable or disable KVM related operations. Once enabled, two related modules, VM Configurations and VF Configurations, will be available and you can manage VMs and related settings. While enabling, you will have to provide the number of Virtual Functions (VFs) you want to create for the physical ports.
The KVM Configuation module will be available only when Chelsio Network driver ( cxgb4 ) and KVM modules ( kvm and kvm_intel/kvm_amd ) are loaded. If not done already, access Agent CLI and follow thes e steps to do so:
- If any or all the aforementioned drivers are already loaded, unload them before proceeding:
[root@host]# rmmod <kvm_intel/kvm_amd>
[root@host]# rmmod kvm
[root@host]# rmmod cxgb4
- Next, reload them using modprobe :
[root@host]# modprobe kvm allow_unsafe_assigned _interrupts=1
[root@host]# modprobe <kvm_intel/kvm_amd>
[root@host]# modprobe cxgb4
Loading the kvm module with allow_unsafe_assigned_interrupts=1 option enables use of device assignment without interrupt remapping support . This is required in order to as ssign VFs to VMs.
- Finally, access WebGUI . Remove the Agent using the “Remove System” button and connect to it again from the Bookmarks and History module . You should now be able to see the KVM Configuration module.
