== Objectives OBJECTIVE & PREPARATION ==*Install your host machine (Centos 7)*Install 3 virtual machines (VMs) (Fedora 22 - Server)*Prepare for lab exercises.

== Required materials ==*Centos 7 Installation DVD*One SATA hard disk in This lab is a repeat of a removable drive tray portion of lab1 (minimum 250GBand some of lab2) - It is strongly advised that you dedicate a drive for already performed in OPS235 plus some newer content that relates to this course onlyweek's notes.*Recommended You are expected to be able to complete all this using your existing skills and knowledge or refer back to your OPS235 lab- USB drive (8 GB+) for creating and storing backups (Virtual Machines, configuration files)book or OPS235 WIKI notes.

=== Installation instructions for Centos 7 Required materials ===#Download a copy of the Centos 7 installation DVD (64 bit edition) from the Centos web site or belmont. Note: we'll be using the 64 bit version of Centos because all of our lab computers are equiped with Intel 64 bit mainboards and CPUs. We'll also be using a Fedora iso for installing the virtual machines, but you will not need to burn that to a disc. It is faster to download the ISO and install directly from it.#* '''Seneca's mirror of Centos:''' http://belmont.senecacollege.ca/pub/centos/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-Full Installation DVD-1511.iso<br />(This is very fast, but is only accessible from within Seneca's network - you can't access this from home.

You may wish to keep some extra space left unassigned in case you need some space later, but the majority of the space you will need will be for ''/var/lib/libvirt/images''.#**Make certain that the existing partitions have the file system type '''ext4''' (not xfs).#During the installation process you will also have the opportunity to create users.#*set the root password#*create a '''user account''' named with '''your Seneca ID'''#After completing the installation, remove the DVD and reboot from your HDDcourse only.

This will serve as a host for the virtual machines where you will do the majority of the work in this course. All the rest of our labs will assume you have this basic system running iptables . If, for any reason, your system becomes corrupted during the semester, you'll have to redo this lab to be able to continue with the remaining uncompleted labs. You are responsible for YOUR system. If you do not perform back-ups you have taken this risk on yourself. Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency for anyone else. '''Record steps, commands, and your observations in INVESTIGATION 1 in your OPS235 lab log-book''' ==INVESTIGATION 2: VIRTUAL MACHINE INSTALLATION== ===Configuring a VM host=== # You will need to install some software to allow your machine to act as a host for virtual machines. We'll be using the same '''libvirt''' and '''virt-manager''' you used in [https://wiki.cdot.senecacollege.ca/wiki/OPS235_Lab_2 OPS235 - Lab2].<br>You may find it helpful to refer back to the '''OPS235 notes''' to perform the following operations:#* Install the required virtualization software#* Start and enable the virtualization service#* Reboot your host machine<br><br># Start the graphical virtual machine manager (''virt-manager''). Do this as you regular user, and gain experience with don't run virt-manager from a terminal where you're logged in as root.# We will be creating our own virtual network.

It is recommended to use the command to download this image onto your host machine. In this way, you can keep it on your host machine for the remainder of this course in case you need it: '''wget http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/centos/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-2009.iso''' Perform the following steps to create your first VM on your Virtual Machine Manager application:
