KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution
|
|
for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions
|
|
(Intel VT or AMD-V). KVM is divided into the KVM-KMOD package
|
|
(kernel modules) and the QEMU-KVM package (slightly modified QEMU)
|
|
which are both available as separate Slackbuilds.
|
|
|
|
QEMU-KVM is a generic and open source virtualizer. QEMU-KVM achieves
|
|
near native performances by leveraging the KVM-KMOD modules and
|
|
executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. QEMU-KVM can
|
|
virtualize many system guest types (e.g. alpha, arm, i386, ppc, x86_64,
|
|
s390, sparc). Slackware provides pre-built KVM-KMOD modules or you
|
|
can build different versions with the KVM-KMOD SlackBuild.
|
|
|
|
QEMU-KVM requires a system group and uses 'kvm' as the default. If you
|
|
want to use a different group like 'users' then run the script like this:
|
|
KVMGROUP=users sh qemu-kvm.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
After package installation, make sure you have the KVMGROUP present on
|
|
your system and that all desired users are members of that group.
|
|
Don't forget to load the KVM-INTEL or KVM-AMD module depending on your
|
|
processor.
