Situation
Install KVM In Rocky Linux 9.0
How To
Step 1 : Check CPU Virtualization Extensions
cat /proc/cpuinfo | egrep "vmx|svm"
or
lscpu | grep Virtualization
Step 2 : Install KVM Tools
dnf install qemu-kvm libvirt virt-manager virt-install -y
dnf install epel-release -y
dnf install bridge-utils virt-top libguestfs-tools bridge-utils virt-viewer -y
Step 3 : Start libvirtd
And Enable That
systemctl start libvirtd
systemctl enable libvirtd
Step 4 : Create Network Bridge
Show Bridge Network
brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
virbr0 8000.5254009de646 yes
Show Connect Info
nmcli connection show
NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE
enp2s0 3ed4465d-7f61-48c3-9ec6-59fb4aedfd22 ethernet enp2s0
virbr0 0535364e-982c-4ee0-b2ce-bfd1ff6e47d4 bridge virbr0
export
These Var
export BR_NAME="br0"
export BR_INT="enp2s0"
export SUBNET_IP="192.168.0.2/16"
export GW="192.168.0.254"
export DNS1="192.168.100.1"
export DNS2="192.168.100.6"
Run Command nmcli
Setting Bridge Network
# add bridge
nmcli connection add type bridge autoconnect yes con-name ${BR_NAME} ifname ${BR_NAME}
# add ip address, gateway and dns
nmcli connection modify ${BR_NAME} ipv4.addresses ${SUBNET_IP} ipv4.method manual
nmcli connection modify ${BR_NAME} ipv4.gateway ${GW}
nmcli connection modify ${BR_NAME} ipv4.dns ${DNS1} +ipv4.dns ${DNS2}
Add The Identified Network Device As A Slace To The Bridge
nmcli connection delete ${BR_INT}
nmcli connection add type bridge-slave autoconnect yes con-name ${BR_INT} ifname ${BR_INT} master ${BR_NAME}
Start Network Bridge
nmcli connection up br0
Verify Network
nmcli connectiob show br0
Or

Add Bridge For KVM Use
vim /etc/qemu-kvm/bridge.conf
Add This
allow all
Restart libvirtd
systemctl restart libvirtd
Step 5 : Create VM
virt-install --name vm-temp --ram 2048 --vcpu 1 \
--disk <vm-disk-path-folder>.img,size=10 \
--os-variant centos-stream9 --os-type linux \
--network bridge=br0,model=virtio \
--graphics vnc,listen=0.0.0.0 \
--console pty,target_type=serial \
--location <iso-folder-path>.iso
