Basic host configuration, including mandatory and optional virtualization packages, are covered in Chapter 5, Installing the Virtualization Packages.
Guest virtual machine installation is covered in detail starting from Chapter 6, Guest Virtual Machine Installation Overview, with procedures for installing fully virtualized Red Hat Enterprise Linux guests and Windows paravirtualized guests using virt-manager and virsh.
More detailed information on networking, PCI device configuration, SR-IOV, KVM guest timing management, and troubleshooting help for libvirt and SR-IOV is included later in the guide.
