Getting started

From image to first VM

Install the appliances

Boot simplevirt-command.iso on one machine and simplevirt-hypervisor.iso on each host. Answer a few prompts and each becomes a managed appliance.

Add your hosts

Sign in to SimpleVirt-Command and add each host by address. It joins the fleet with a secured, mutually-authenticated connection.

Build a cluster and a VM

Group hosts into a cluster, pool storage with HCI or attach NFS, and create your first virtual machine.
