Configuring and Managing the vNIOS Instance in the KVM Environment

After the deployment, use the KVM administration tool such as Virtual Machine Manager to open the KVM console for the deployed instance. Sign in to Infoblox Grid Manager and install the required licenses, set the network settings and set up the Grid. For information about setting up a Grid, refer to the Infoblox NIOS Documentation.

Managing vNIOS Instances

You can use the following commands to manage the vNIOS for KVM instances through a GUI virt-manager:

  • virsh console <VM name>: To access the VM console.

  • virsh start <VM name>: To start a VM.

  • virsh list and virsh list --all: To list VMs defined on the host.
    Note that the --all option includes VMs that are currently offline.

  • virsh undefine <VM name>: To remove the VM definition from the KVM environment.
    Use this command only after the VM has been shut down.
