You have already installed your Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor and Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts, but before they can be used, they have to be added to the Manager. The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is specifically designed for the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization platform, therefore it only needs a simple click of approval. Conversely, Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a general purpose operating system, therefore reprogramming it as a host requires additional configuration.

3.4.1. Approve Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor Host

The Hypervisor you installed in Section 2.2.1, “Install Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor” is automatically registered with the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization platform. It displays in the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager, and needs to be approved for use.
To set up a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor host
  1. On the Tree pane, click Expand All and select Hosts under the Default cluster. On the Hosts tab, select the name of your newly installed hypervisor.
