Comments on Virtualization With KVM On A Fedora 10 Server

Virtualization With KVM On A Fedora 10 Server This guide explains how you can install and use KVM for creating and running virtual machines on a Fedora 10 server. I will show how to create image-based virtual machines and also virtual machines that use a logical volume (LVM). KVM is short for Kernel-based Virtual Machine and makes use of hardware virtualization, i.e., you need a CPU that supports hardware virtualization, e.g. Intel VT or AMD-V.

I wonder why you feel that it's necessary to completely disable SELinux.

I use Fedora 10 and work a lot with KVM. Still I have SELinux active and enforcing the policy.
The only problem I have ever encountered with this is that ISO-Images you want to use for installation need to have the correct label, which has the type virt_image_t.
That's it, and shouldn't be too hard for an admin to figure out and manage.

The title of the article is: Virtualization With KVM On A Fedora 10 Server Yet Item 3 says: "Installing virt-viewer Or virt-manager On Your Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop" Why did the author switch from Fedora 10 server to Ubuntu 8.10 desktop? Please be consistent. I have noticed the author has written pretty much the same content to set up KVM on various Linux distros (Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu). IMO, the above is a result of copy/paste between the various articles.
