Navigate to the desired directory on the host machine.

Create the XML file as follows:

Note: The values used in this procedure are specific to this example. The actual values must reflect the user’s setup.

    <domain type="kvm">
<memory>4194304</memory>
 <currentMemory>4194304</memory>
 <name>vsim98_66</name>
 <uuid>df806b10-c863-40fd-2187-dead98066001</uuid>
 <cpu mode="custom" match="minimum">
 <model>SandyBridge</model>
 <vendor>Intel</vendor>
 </cpu>
 <vcpu current="4">4</vcpu>
<os>
 <type arch="x86_64" machine="rhel7.3.0">hvm</type>
<boot dev="hd"/>
 <smbios mode="emulate"/>
</os>
<clock offset="utc">
 <timer name="pit" tickpolicy="delay"/>
 <timer name="rtc" tickpolicy="delay"/>
</clock>
<devices>
 <emulator>/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm</emulator>
 <disk type="file" device="disk">
 <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2' cache="none"/>
 <source file="/var/lib/libvirt/images/cpaa-vm.qcow2"/>
<target dev="hda" bus="virtio"/>
 </disk> -->

In the XML file, configure the following lines to map the host physical interface to the vCPAA IP management port A/1:

 <interface type="bridge">
 <mac address="DE:AD:98:66:01:01:/>
 <source bridge="breth0/>
 <model type="virtio/>
 </interface>

Perform one of the following:

1. In the XML file, configure the following lines to map the host physical interface(s) to the vCPAA logical network interface port(s) 1/1/1...1/1/4 with the bridge interface model:

    <interface type="bridge">
    <mac address="DE:AD:98:66:01:02/>
    <source bridge="breth1"/>
    <model type="virtio"/>
    </interface>

2. In the XML file, configure the following lines to map the host physical interface(s) to the vCPAA logical network interface port(s) 1/1/1...1/1/4 with the direct interface model:

    <interface type="direct">
    <mac address="DE:AD:98:66:01:02/>
    <source dev="eth1" mode=passthrough"/>
    <model type="virtio"/>
    </interface>

In the XML file, configure the following lines to specify the console port of the vCPAA:

 <console type="tcp">
 <source mode="bind" host="198.51.98.62" service="40066"/>
<protocol type="telnet"/>
<target port="0"/>
 <alias name="serial0"/>
 </console>

In the XML file, configure the following lines to close the configuration of the vCPAA:

 </devices>
 <seclabel type="none"/>
</domain>

Save and close the XML file.
