I’m assuming that you’ve already gone through the process of getting KVM installed on your Linux host; if you need help with that, a quick Google search should turn up plenty of “how to” articles (it’s basically a sudo apt-get install kvm operation). Next, you need to authenticate the hypervisor to NVP.
