How to Install KVM on OpenSUSE Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of KVM on OpenSUSE Latest. KVM, or Kernel-based Virtual Machine, is an open-source software that allows you to create and run virtual machines on a Linux system.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:

Step 1: Update your system

First, update your system and packages to ensure that your system is up-to-date.

zypper update

Step 2: Install KVM

Next, install KVM by running the following command:

zypper install -t pattern kvm_server

This should install all the necessary packages required for KVM to run on your system.

Step 3: Verify the installation

After the installation is complete, you can verify the installation by running the following command:

virt-host-validate

This command will check if your system is capable of running KVM virtual machines. The output should look something like this:

QEMU: Checking for hardware virtualization: PASS
QEMU: Checking if device /dev/kvm exists: PASS
QEMU: Checking if device /dev/kvm is accessible: PASS
QEMU: Checking if device /dev/vhost-net exists: PASS
QEMU: Checking if device /dev/net/tun exists: PASS

If the output shows PASS for all the checks, your installation is successful.

Step 4: Start the libvirtd service

To use KVM, you need to start the libvirtd service. Run the following command to start the service:

systemctl start libvirtd

You can also enable the service to start automatically on boot:

systemctl enable libvirtd

Step 5: Using KVM

Now that KVM is installed and running, you can use tools like virt-manager to create and manage virtual machines.

To install virt-manager, run the following command:

zypper install virt-manager

After installation, you can launch virt-manager by running the following command:

virt-manager

This will open the virt-manager GUI, which you can use to create, edit, and manage KVM virtual machines.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you learned how to install KVM on OpenSUSE Latest and use virt-manager to manage virtual machines. KVM is a powerful tool for virtualization that can help you create and manage virtual machines on your Linux system.
