Purpose

To build a simple VM lab in Ubnuntu. Nothing fancy.

Hardware

My primary personal computer, a Lenovo X220 laptop with

  • 3rd gen i5
  • 8GB RAM
  • 256GB Crucial BX200 low end SSD
  • 500GB HGST Travelstar Z7K500

Software

  • OS is obviously Ubuntu. At the time of writing I am using Bionic Beaver.
  • ZFS Filesystem tweaked to use 2GB of ARC
  • Red Hat libvirt

Process

sudo apt install virt-manager
sudo systemctl start libvirtd
sudo systemctl enable libvirtd
sudo apt install libzfs2linux
sudo apt install zfs-dkms
