SUSE 11.2
Make sure you have a modern computer and "virtualization technology" switched on in your BIOS
# yast -i kvm virt-manager # /etc/init.d/libvirtd start # chkconfig libvirtd on
You get an error
The operating system does not support full virtualization The CPUs support full virtualization, but it is disabled in the BIOS
-> you create a new connection -> reboot your computer => it works
SUSE 11.1
Here is an example how to use KVM virtualization on SUSE Linux 11.1.
Install kvm
open a console and enter:
yast -i kvm yast -i virt-manager /etc/init.d/libvirtd start chkconfig libvirtd on virt-manager
Now comes the first pitfall: You have to select localhost, then new. Otherwise you will not be able to create new virtual machines.
Install virtinst
Suddenly you will find out you need to install virtinst.
tweedleburg:~/virtinst-0.500.2 # python setup.py install
uninstall vm and libvirt
Install libdevmapper
From ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/dm/
Install libvirt
Start it
Start virt-manager:
/usr/local/bin/virt-manager
