Setting up system proxy and the /etc/yum.conf proxy for the KVM Host

As the KVM host is behind a proxy server, the needed proxy server was added to the KVM host /etc/profile and also to the /etc/yum.conf 


These lines has been added to the /etc/profile of the server 

export http_proxy=http://1.2.3.4:8080
export https_proxy=http://1.2.3.4:8080
export no_proxy=$(echo $(cat /etc/hosts| grep -v ^# | grep -v ^$ | awk '{print $1}' | tr "\n" ",")localhost,127.0.0.1,.sujitnet11.net,.netx.sujit.com)

Please note the above one helps the undercloud and the other hosts' VIPs /IPs to be kept in the /etc/hosts of the KVM host, so that the subsequent access to the openstack CLI /GUI works from the KVM Host.

The line that was added to the /etc/yum.conf had been 

export proxy=http://1.2.3.4:8080
