- [Instructor] Because of the complexity of virtualization,
I want to go through a checklist before we go further.
These items need to be done
before you can continue with this course.
If any item isn't done, then later exercises may not work.
When we did the Kickstarter install,
the gooey wasn't configured.
In order to use both the text and graphical consoles,
a virtual graphics card needs to be added.
Follow the tutorial in this chapter on how to do this.
Also in that video, we configured our GRUB boot menu
to start both tty0 and ttyS0 consoles of boot.
The VMs we created in this course
both have the acpid service running.
If you create other VMs,
make sure the acpid service is running
so the VM shutdown and reboot menus work.
In order for our VMs to communicate with each other,
they need to be using the same Macvtap device.
Follow the video in this chapter to configure VMs
to communicate with each other.
In that video, we chose the Macvtap network device
that the host uses.
For any VMs created using Kickstart files,
log in and change their passwords to something more secure.
If you're participating from chapter two
on using VirtualBox virtual machines,
you will want to make sure all VMs
are using the bridged adapter network device.
Please be sure that you've done all relevant steps
before proceeding in this course.
