H.4. Virtualization Host Groups
A number of system user groups are created on the virtualization host when the vdsm and qemu-kvm-rhev packages are installed. Each system user group has a default group identifier (GID). The system user groups created are:
-
The kvm group (GID
36). Group members include: - The qemu user.
- The sanlock user.
-
The qemu group (GID
107). Group members include: - The vdsm user.
- The sanlock user.
-
The ovirt-vmconsole group (GID
498). Group members include: - The ovirt-vmconsole user.
Important
The user identifiers (UIDs) and group identifiers (GIDs) allocated may vary between systems. The vdsm user is fixed to a UID of 36 and the kvm group is fixed to a GID of 36.
If UID 36 or GID 36 is already used by another account on the system a conflict will arise during installation of the vdsm and qemu-kvm-rhev packages.
