 '''In this lab, you will create three virtual machines'''. This also gives you an opportunity to experiment with different ways of installing CentOS. You will be learning the following elements of Virtualization in this lab:<br><br><u>Main Objectives</u> :* '''Installing Virtualization Software''' on your '''c7host ''' machine:* '''Create 3 separate VMs (virtual machines) using different installation methods:''':** Centos Live DVDInstallation:** Network Installation without configuration file:** Network Installation with configuration file (Kickstart)<br><br>:* Understand the '''advantages and disadvantages of each type of installation''', and be able to '''select the best installation method''' for a particular situation.:* '''Manipulate virtual machines by CLI''' (virsh):* '''Properly backup VMs and VM configuration''' in virtual manager application onto home directory and to external source (USB Key):* Observe how '''Bash Shell Scripting''' can be used to automate routine tasks involving VM management

A '''virtual machine''' is a software simulation of a computer which can be used as though it were actual hardware. It's possible to run multiple virtual machines on one computer, reducing hardware requirements and introducing promoting flexibilitywhen working with multiple operating systems. Some common uses of virtualization include:

To avoid running a newer A shell script on an older shell, it is recommended to force running the shell script in the correct shell. In order to do this, on the first line at the very beginning can obtain data from a number of the shell script, you add the methods: '''#!reading input files''' (, using '''# as in "shhhh" - a commentarguments when issuing command'''(positional parameters), andor ''' ! is referred prompting for data to as "bang" run store in a commmandvariable''': in this case, . The later method can be accomplished by using the '''run the command: /bin/bashread'''). You can issue the Linux command , for example: '''which bashread -p "Enter your name: " userName''' to get the correct location. If there is no bash shell on that machine, the shell script will not run (as a precaution - the Linux admin will know how to make a fix to the shell script if required)<br>. <br></li><li>'''VariablesMathematical Expressions:'''<br><br> There are 3 types of variables that can be used in In shell scripting: '''ENVIRONMENT''' , data is stored in variable as text, not other data types (eg. $USER)ints, floats, chars, '''user-defined''' ($varNameetc), and like in compiled programs like C or Java. In order to have a shell script perform '''positional parametersmathematical operations''' (eg. $1, $2... containing arguments after shell script number or variable need to be surrounded by using set command (eg. two sets of parenthesis '''set $(ls(..)''' ).

The In-determinant loops (such as '''while''' or '''$?until''' special shell variable stores the result loops) may repeat based on unknown conditions (like waiting for user to enter correct data). Test conditions can be used with in-determinant loops, or even commands! If a command runs successfully (eg ls, cd, grep matching a pattern), zero if (true) value is returned, otherwise a non-zero if (false)value is returned.
