<source file=’/home/user_name/virtualadx_img.qcow2’>.
You can specify the image name of your choice (For the purpose of illustration, let us keep the
name as virtualadx_img.qcow2, throughout this document section).
If the KVM host uses OVS, add <virtualport type='openvswitch'/> to all four interface entries. For
example,
<interface type=’bridge’>
<source bridge='br0'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'/>
<target dev='mgmt1-manage1'/>
<model type=’e1000’/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
NOTE
Ensure that all four interfaces have no duplicated PCI address entry. The first interface entry must
have the pci configuration <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03'
function='0x0'/>.
NOTE

6. Create bridges and OVS ports on the KVM host to enable traffic to the Brocade Virtual ADX.
7. Define the KVM guest VM by entering the virsh define guest.xml shell command. Based on the
given guest VM configuration file "guest.xml", the Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) and four
MAC addresses starting with "52:54:00" will be generated and stored in /etc/libvirt/qemu/
virtual_adx.xml file.
To check whether the guest VM is defined, enter the virsh list -all shell command. If the guest VM
is defined, the Brocade Virtual ADX name which you assigned will be displayed in shut off state, in
the list displayed.
