Making open source more inclusive Red Hat is committed to replacing problematic language in our code, documentation, and web properties. We are beginning with these four terms: master, slave, blacklist, and whitelist. Because of the enormity of this endeavor, these changes will be implemented gradually over several upcoming releases. For more details, see our CTO Chris Wright’s message. Chapter 1. About the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization You can migrate virtual machines from VMware vSphere, Red Hat Virtualization, or OpenStack source providers to OpenShift Virtualization with the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization (MTV). Migration using OpenStack source providers is a Technology Preview. Migration using OpenStack source providers is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Migration using OpenStack source providers only supports VMs that use only Cinder volumes. 1.1.

Red Hat OpenShift 4 and Red Hat Virtualization:

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.6Installing and Maintaining the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Self-Hosted EngineAbstract A comprehensive guide to the self-hosted engine. Chapter 1. Introduction A self-hosted engine is a virtualized environment in which the engine, or Manager, runs on a virtual machine on the hosts managed by that engine. The virtual machine is created as part of the host configuration, and the Manager is installed and configured in parallel to the host configuration process. The primary benefit of the self-hosted engine is that it requires less hardware to deploy an instance of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization as the Manager runs as a virtual machine, not on physical hardware. Additionally, the Manager is configured to be highly available. If the host running the Manager virtual machine goes into maintenance mode, or fails unexpectedly, the virtual machine will be migrated automatically to another host in the environment. A minimum of two self-hosted engine hosts are required to support the high availability feature. Table 1.1. Supported OS versions to Deploy Self-Hosted Engine System Type Supported Versions Red Hat Enterprise Linux Host 7.2 Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor Host 7.2 HostedEngine-VM (Manager) 6.7 It is important to synchronize the system clocks of the hosts, Manager, and other servers in the environment to avoid potential timing or authentication issues. To do this, configure the Network Time Protocol (NTP) on each system to synchronize with the same NTP server. 1.1. Installation OptionsSelf-Hosted Engine Hosts You can use Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisors or Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts, or both. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is distributed as an ISO file and contains only the packages required for the machine to act as a virtualization host. See Chapter 2, Deploying Self-Hosted Engine on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems subscribed to the appropriate entitlements can be used as virtualization hosts. See Chapter 3, Deploying Self-Hosted Engine on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Host. Self-Hosted Engine Manager You can use the RHEV-M Virtual Appliance, or you can install and configure the Manager virtual machine manually. The RHEV-M Virtual Appliance automates the process of installing and configuring the Manager virtual machine, and does not require you to access the virtual machine during the setup. Manually installing and configuring the Manager virtual machine is also supported but requires you to access the virtual machine directly during the setup. Chapter 2. Deploying Self-Hosted Engine on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor2.1. Installing Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor You will need to install a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor machine before configuring self-hosted engine on it. For more information on storage requirements, see Storage Requirements in the Installation Guide. To use the RHEV-M Virtual Appliance for the Manager virtual machine installation, the data partition (/data) must be at least 60 GB. 2.2. Configuring Self-Hosted Engine on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor Once you have installed a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor using the Hypervisor ISO, set up self-hosted engine using the screen. Self-hosted engine is currently supported on. Red Hat Virtualization Components; 2.1. Red Hat Virtualization Manager; 2.2. Hosts; 2.3. Storage; 2.4. Data Warehouse; 2.5.
