How To Install CentOS 6.3 KVM on vSphere 5.1

Conclusion

You can see that setting up KVM on CentOS 6.3 is not that trivial and for sure the manual insertions of the script files and other items needed into the Virtual Machine’s XML file are clearly where the Cloud Management System comes into play.  You would not do this all manually, except maybe like me in a lab for a couple Virtual Machines to test.  As I continue to move forward I will be adding another Article on building XENServer on vSphere 5.1 along with some posts on Nicira NVP itself from my own perspective with maybe a few demo videos using my lab setup.  I may put together a full lab diagram now that it is all working with all the primary Nicira NVP components.
