Prepare powerKVM iso, such as ibm-powerkvm-2.1.1.0-22.0-ppc64-gold-201410191558.iso, then refer to :ref:`diskful_installation` to install PowerKVM hypervisor. + +Check bridge setting after installation finished +------------------------------------------------ + +After PowerKVM hypervisor is installed successfully, you can get the bridge information: :: + + # brctl show + bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces + br0 8000.000000000000 no eth0 + +If the bridge show is not like above, it means that you may not run xCAT post install script.
