Prerequisite

Copy the following disk image files to disk storage location (typically /var/lib/libvirt/images) on the host machine.

  • SBCSWeLite-disk1.qcow2
  • SBCSWeLite-disk2.qcow2
  • SBCSWeLite-disk3.qcow2

 

Note

SBC SWe Lite supports one Network Management interface and up to four Network Media interfaces. The minimal networking configuration (one management and one media interface) requires two bridge interfaces configured on Hyper Visor host. To support maximum 1+4 configuration, Hyper Visor host must have five bridge interfaces configured prior the VM installation.

Note

SWe Lite requires a DHCP server to assign the management IP address initially. The address can be later manually changed through webUI interface.
