About VM host management
To navigate to this screen from other locations in the user interface, click the black menu bar at
the top of the screen and select Hosts.
Use this screen to view compute nodes (KVM hosts) that are capable of hosting virtual machine
instances. From the Actions menu, you can activate and deactivate VM hosts managed by the
Matrix KVM Admin Console.
A VM host is managed by the Matrix KVM Admin Console appliance when the IP address of the
host is added to the cloud connectivity subnet.
See also “About cloud networking” (page 13).
NOTE: Before you can activate a host, the host must have prerequisite software installed and
configured.
See also “Install RHEL 6.3 with KVM on the host before activation” (page 23).
Activating a VM host performs the configuration required on the host to bring the system into the
cloud.
See also “Verify host activation” (page 24).
