At the time of this writing there is no ISO image availabe for RHEV. Individual RPM packages need to be downloaded.
* Download *Management-Agent-Power-7* and *Power_Tools-7* RPMs from RedHat to the xCAT management node. Steps below assume all RPMs were downloaded to ``/install/post/otherpkgs/rhels7.3/ppc64le/RHEV4/4.0-GA``
* Create a yum repository for the downloaded RPMs ::
createrepo /install/post/otherpkgs/rhels7.3/ppc64le/RHEV4/4.0-GA
* Create new osimage definition based on an existing RHEL7 osimage definition ::
mkdef -t osimage -o rhels7.3-ppc64le-RHEV4-install-compute \
--template rhels7.3-ppc64le-install-compute
* Modify ``otherpkgdir`` attribute to point to the package directory with downloaded RPMs ::
chdef -t osimage rhels7.3-ppc64le-RHEV4-install-compute \
otherpkgdir=/install/post/otherpkgs/rhels7.3/ppc64le/RHEV4/4.0-GA
* Create a new file ``/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/rh/other.pkglist`` to list required packages ::
libvirt
qemu-kvm-rhev
qemu-kvm-tools-rhev
virt-manager-common
virt-install
* Modify ``otherpkglist`` attribute to point to the file from the step above ::
chdef -t osimage rhels7.3-snap3-ppc64le-RHEV4-install-compute \
otherpkglist=/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/rh/other.pkglist
* The RHEV osimage should look similar to: ::
Object name: rhels7.3-ppc64le-RHEV4-install-compute
imagetype=linux
osarch=ppc64le

Setup Hypervisor
================
Install and Configure Hypervisor
================================
Provision Hypervisor
--------------------
Follow the :ref:`Diskful Installation <diskful_installation>` to provision kvm hypervisor for PowerKVM or RHEV.
* **[PowerKVM]**
Obtain a PowerKVM iso and create PowerKVM osimages with it: ::
copycds ibm-powerkvm-3.1.0.0-39.0-ppc64le-gold-201511041419.iso
The following PowerKVM osimage will be created ::

* Run ``createrepo .`` in the */install/post/otherpkgs/rhels7.3/ppc64le/RHEV4/4.0-GA* directory.
* Create new osimage definition based on an existing RH7 osimage definition ::
mkdef -t osimage -o rhels7.3-ppc64le-RHEV4-install-compute --template rhels7.3-ppc64le-install-compute
* Modify ``otherpkgdir`` attribute to point to the package directory with downloaded RPMs ::

#. Customize the hypervisor node definition to create network bridge
xCAT ships a postscript **xHRM** to create a network bridge on kvm host during installation/netbooting. Specify the **xHRM** with appropriate parameters in **postscripts** attibute. Here is some examples on this:

**Note**: The network bridge name you use should not be the virtual bridges created by libvirt installation [1]_.
