- Install Virtualization for Block Device
-=========================================
-
-If you intend to use Ceph Block Devices and the Ceph Storage Cluster as a
-backend for Virtual Machines (VMs) or :term:`Cloud Platforms` the QEMU/KVM and
-``libvirt`` packages are important for enabling VMs and cloud platforms.
-Examples of VMs include: QEMU/KVM, XEN, VMWare, LXC, VirtualBox, etc. Examples
-of Cloud Platforms include OpenStack, CloudStack, OpenNebula, etc.

-Install QEMU
-============
-
-QEMU KVM can interact with Ceph Block Devices via ``librbd``, which is an
-important feature for using Ceph with cloud platforms. Once you install QEMU,
-see `QEMU and Block Devices`_ for usage.
-
-
-Debian Packages
----------------
-
-QEMU packages are incorporated into Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin and later
-versions. To install QEMU, execute the following::
-
- sudo apt-get install qemu
-
-
-RPM Packages
-------------
-
-To install QEMU, execute the following:
-
-
-#. Update your repositories. ::
-
- sudo yum update
-
-#. Install QEMU for Ceph. ::
-
- sudo yum install qemu-kvm qemu-kvm-tools qemu-img
-
-#. Install additional QEMU packages (optional)::
-
- sudo yum install qemu-guest-agent qemu-guest-agent-win32
-
-
-Building QEMU
--------------
-
-To build QEMU from source, use the following procedure::
-
- cd {your-development-directory}
- git clone git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git
- cd qemu
- ./configure --enable-rbd
- make; make install
-
-
-
-Install libvirt
-===============
-
-To use ``libvirt`` with Ceph, you must have a running Ceph Storage Cluster, and
-you must have installed and configured QEMU. See `Using libvirt with Ceph Block
-Device`_ for usage.
-
-
-Debian Packages
----------------
-
-``libvirt`` packages are incorporated into Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin and
-later versions of Ubuntu. To install ``libvirt`` on these distributions,
-execute the following::
-
- sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libvirt-bin
-
-
-RPM Packages
-------------
-
-To use ``libvirt`` with a Ceph Storage Cluster, you must have a running Ceph
-Storage Cluster and you must also install a version of QEMU with ``rbd`` format
-support. See `Install QEMU`_ for details.
-
-
-``libvirt`` packages are incorporated into the recent CentOS/RHEL distributions.
-To install ``libvirt``, execute the following::
-
- sudo yum install libvirt
-
-
-Building ``libvirt``
---------------------
-
-To build ``libvirt`` from source, clone the ``libvirt`` repository and use
-`AutoGen`_ to generate the build. Then, execute ``make`` and ``make install`` to
-complete the installation. For example::
-
- git clone git://libvirt.org/libvirt.git
- cd libvirt
- ./autogen.sh
- make
- sudo make install
-
-See `libvirt Installation`_ for details.
