The purpose of this repository is to provide both a lab environment and a recap for the RHCE and ex294 exam v9. Similar repositories exist, however I wanted one fully compatible with libvirtd, as opposed to Oracle VirtualBox, which comes with Fedora.
Follow the instructions here
additionally run the following commands:
# so you don't have to type sudo each time for a QEMU system session
$ sudo usermod -aG libvert $USER
# sets libvirt as default vagrant provider
$ echo "export VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER=libvirt" >> ~/.bashrc The lab environment consists of repository node, a control node and 4 slave nodes. Control node and slave nodes will install software from the repository node.
