1. Install and configure kvm virtual machine and create virtual machine.

1.1 when minimizing installation, change to graphical interface

You need to turn on these CPU options when using the virtual machine

Turn off the firewall, turn off selinux
systemctl disable firewalld
sed -i 's/SELINUX=enforcing$/SELINUX=disabled/g' /etc/selinux/config
setenforce 0
 Minimize installation into a graphical interface
yum groupinstall -y "GNOME Desktop"
systemctl set-default graphical.target   set up linux The host is in graphical interface mode
 After installation, restart to check whether it is in graphical interface mode

stay linux Host installation VNC Server, used to Windows Next use VNC Client remote linux host
yum install tigervnc-server -y
cp /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@.service /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@:1.service

vi /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@\:1.service
 stay service Next modification USER,Which user writes which remotely
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/vncserver_wrapper root %i  #This line has < user >, and change it to root

vncpasswd          Use whichever user you log in with(su - user name)Switch to user and set vnc password
Would you like to enter a view-only password (y/n)? n

Multiple users remotely cp advantage service,Then modify the user name again, and the port number is 5900+vncserver@\:1.service 1 here, such as 5902.

systemctl start vncserver@\:1.service
systemctl enable vncserver@\:1.service
ss -tnl   Confirm that port 5901 is open


Download and install VNC client to test whether it can remote linux host
VNC client download address VNC client
After the installation under Windows is completed, use win+s to call up the search bar and enter vnc

Enter the address and port of the remote
192.168.116.130:5901

Click continue

Input password

Pull the mouse up to see the login interface of linux. Enter the account password to log in

1.2 when the system installation is graphical

Turn on CPU virtualization option when installing graphical interface of virtual machine

Select this option when installing the system

1.3 install KVM and create virtual machine with command line

Create a virtual machine from the command line
Upload the downloaded image to the linux host
centos image address: Centos
Select the version and find ISOs / x86_ Download in 64 / directory
Upload the image to the linux host using tools such as winscp or xshell

yum -y install qemu-kvm  libvirt   virt-manager virt-install virt-viewer   install KVM tool
qemu-img create -f qcow2 /var/lib/libvirt/images/centos7.7-1.qcow2 3G  Create virtual machine storage

virt-install --virt-type kvm --name centos7 --ram 1024 --vcpus 2 --cdrom=/tmp/CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1908.iso --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/centos7.7-1.qcow2 --network network=default  --graphics vnc,listen=0.0.0.0 --noautoconsole --os-variant=Centos7.0

--virt-type kvm   Specify mode
--name centos7    Specify virtual machine name
--ram 1024        Specify virtual machine memory
--vcpus 2         appoint CPU number
--cdrom=/tmp/CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1908.iso               Specify the source of the system image, which cannot be placed in root Under the directory
--disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/centos7.7-1.qcow2   Specify the storage space of the virtual machine created above
--network network=default                               Specifies to use the default network

Enter in the graphical interface

virt-manager


Right click open

You can see the installation interface, and then install it all the time

1.4 interactive installation of KVM under graphical installation interface

Upload the downloaded image to the linux host
centos image address: Centos
Select the version and find ISOs / x86_ Download in 64 / directory
Upload the image to the linux host using tools such as winscp or xshell
Enter the desktop and right-click to create a new terminal

Install KVM tools

yum -y install qemu-kvm  libvirt   virt-manager virt-install virt-viewer 


Enter in the graphical interface

virt-manager


Click this to start creating a new virtual machine

Select first

Click this to find the directory where the system image is uploaded


Set memory and CPU

Set virtual machine hard disk size

Set virtual machine name

Automatically jump to centos 7 by default

No jump. Right click open on the virtual machine

2. Realize the cross host migration of virtual machines between vmware esxi hosts.

Topology diagram:

2.1 vmware esxi 6.7 installation

System download link: esxi 6
System download link: esxi 7
Install vmware esxi version: vmware-vmvisor-installer-201912001-15160138 x86_ 64.iso
Note: the vmware virtual machine can be installed in the way of ubantu system. The CPU option should enable these three virtualization functions, otherwise it cannot be installed

Installation steps

enter

Press F11 to agree to the agreement

enter

Press enter to select the default language

Input password

Press F11 to start the installation


Enter restart

Configure IP, press F2 to enter the account password to log in

Press F2 to enter options again


Select the third to configure IP

Press ESC to exit and select Y to save the IP address

2.2 install windows 2016 and VMware vCenter Server on Windows 2016

This device is used to install VMware vCenter Server, and this software is used to manage multiple esxi
Note: it must be installed on the system. The version is Windows Server 2008 SP2 or later

VMware vCenter Server download: VMware vCenter Server
Download this, vmware-vim-all-6.7.0-14367737 VMware vCenter server for windows iso
With Windows 2016 system, the system memory should be more than 8G, and vCenter Server should be installed
Set the local hosts file, which is used during installation

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
 edit hosts file
192.168.2.230 vmware-client


Open the file and start installing VMware vCenter Server
Select Install


Select next



Enter the hosts name you just set

Ignore this


Input password







2.3 adding esxi hosts to VMware vCenter server

Open the web address and add 2 esxi hosts on the web page

http://192.168.2.230


Enter the local account name and suffix administrator@vsphere.local , and the password set above

Right click and select new data center


Modify the settings, otherwise you will not be able to add esxi

Select VMware client > select configuration > Settings > Advanced Settings > click Edit settings

Find vpxd certmgmt. Mode. The original value is vmca. Change it to thumbprint and save it

Right click to add esxi host in data center

Enter the IP of the esxi you want to add

Enter esxi's account password






2.4 upload the virtual machine system image on a vmware esxi

Log in to a vmware esxi web page and enter the root account and password set during installation

https://192.168.2.156/


Click Browse memory

Click upload to upload the downloaded system image

2.5 esxi create virtual machine

After uploading the image, click virtual machine to start creating centos7 virtual machine

Select first

Select the system version to install

Select the hard disk to install the system. There are multiple hard disks to install as needed

Other configurations are customized, but the system image just uploaded should be selected here




Click finish

By default, the created virtual machine is not powered on. Click to turn on the power

Right click to open the console

Select the first one to start installing centos 7


Select partition

The default partition point is Done
Custom partition point red arrow and then click Done

Set the password and wait for the installation to complete


Set host name and test file

hostnamectl set-hostname centos7-0
hostname
echo `hostname` >test.txt

2.6 VMware vCenter Server creates a private network and migrates between two esxi virtual machines

The same network should be added to both esxi
Log in to VMware vCenter Server, select esxi host, and right-click to add network

Select first

Select the existing switch and make a new network with its own network




Adding this attribute, the new network tag names of the two esxi must be consistent

Enter a new network IP


Note: the virtual machine that needs to be migrated needs to be unmounted. Log in to the esxi web page to ensure that no other devices are attached to the virtual machine

Unload the CD-ROM and leave only the device

Select esxi. It is better to shut down the virtual machine before migrating. Right click to select migration

Select the third

Confirm that compatibility success is displayed here

Select the storage location of the virtual machine on the new esxi host



View the migration progress in the taskbar below

Finally, you can see that the device migration is successful

Log in to the esxi host and confirm the virtual machine status
