=== Purpose / Objectives of Lab 2===
In this lab, you will create 3 remaining virtual machines using another virtualization program called '''KVM''' that will run in your c7host r9host VM. These VMs will be used throughout the remainder of this course to learn how to administer them (installing software, managing services, networking, etc).
While you are performing this lab, it is recommended to generally note the major differences in the different installation methods, and which method you prefer to use if you were a Linux system administrator in charge of installing many Linux distributions for an organization.
<u>Main Objectives</u>
* Installing additional Virtualization Software on your '''c7hostr9host''' machine ('''KVM''')
* '''Create 3 separate VMs (virtual machines) using different installation methods:'''
:* '''centos1rhel1''': Network CentOS Red Hat Enterprise Linux Installation ('''Graphical'''):* '''centos2rhel2''': Network CentOS Red Hat Enterprise Linux Installation (minimal install - '''CLI only'''):* '''centos3rhel33''': Network CentOS Red Hat Enterprise Linux Installation with Kickstart configuration file ('''CLI only''')
* Manipulate virtual machines by CLI ('''virsh''')
* Properly '''backup VM images''' and backup '''VM configuration files'''
