KVM

KVM is the Linux kernel's native virtualization.

Install it

SUSE 11

This has been tested on SUSE Linux 11.2, 11.3 and 11.4.

This is a great idea, Lisa. I'll be fwonloilg with great interest. I am working in an area that relates to online safety and this is a topic of increasing debate and significance.

KVM Software

• install the KVM software like this:

# yast -i kvm virt-manager
# /etc/init.d/libvirtd start
# chkconfig libvirtd on
# virt-manager

• click on new, continue as adviced

backup

# virsh list --all
# cp -r /var/lib/xen/images/virtual_machine /target

Thanks for this ifmornation. I agree that it’s extremely cool. I have only been playing with KVM for a little bit due to time constraints and deadlines. I’m interested to know if it offers some thing provisioning like Xen does.Also, on your “San on the cheap” article, I’d like to see the follow up, especially if you used Openfiler or were booting via iSCSI
