Installation and Configuration

3 Installation and Configuration

To deploy Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager, you install and configure the engine on a host with Oracle Linux 8.8 (or later Oracle Linux 8 release), configure KVM hosts, storage, and networks, and create virtual machines. Thoroughly review the Requirements and Scalability Limits as the requirements for the engine host are different than the KVM hosts.

To review conceptual information and help to plan your installation, see the Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager: Architecture and Planning Guide.

Note:

If you are required to be compliant with the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS), you can enable FIPS mode for your Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager deployment. See FIPS Mode Deployment in the Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager: Getting Started.
