9.4. Adding KVM Details to a Compute Profile

Procedure

1. In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Infrastructure > Compute Profiles.
2. In the Compute Profiles window, click the name of an existing compute profile, or click Create Compute Profile, enter a Name, and click Submit.
3. Click the name of the KVM compute resource.
4. In the CPUs field, enter the number of CPUs to allocate to the new host.
5. In the Memory field, enter the amount of memory to allocate to the new host.
6. From the Image list, select the image to use if performing image-based provisioning.
7. From the Network Interfaces list, select the network parameters for the host’s network interface. You can create multiple network interfaces. However, at least one interface must point to a Capsule-managed network.
8. In the Storage area, enter the storage parameters for the host. You can create multiple volumes for the host.
9. Click Submit to save the settings to the compute profile.

2. To add the values for the compute profile, enter the following command:

   # hammer compute-profile values create --compute-profile "Libvirt CP" \
   --compute-resource "My_KVM_Server" \
   --interface "compute_type=network,compute_model=virtio,compute_network=examplenetwork" \
   --volume "pool_name=default,capacity=20G,format_type=qcow2" \
   --compute-attributes "cpus=1,memory=1073741824"
