Comments on Virtualization With KVM On A Fedora 11 Server

Virtualization With KVM On A Fedora 11 Server This guide explains how you can install and use KVM for creating and running virtual machines on a Fedora 11 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.

For the bridge you can also do that:

dont create the br0 and edit your ifcfg-eth0 as follows:

DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
DNS2=128.235.xxx.xx
TYPE=bridge
HWADDR=00:1f:f3:xx:xx:xx
IPADDR=128.235.xxx.xxx
GATEWAY=128.235.xxx.xxx
DNS1=128.235.xxx.xxx
NM_CONTROLLED=no
IPV6INIT=no
USERCTL=no

And when you install virtual machines with virt-manager use  select network as default and it will create the vnet0,vnet1 etc for you.

 (I use that on my fedora 11 workstation because I couldn't bridge eth0 for my vms. I run win xp and centos.)

Thanks,

Adam

Why are you creating network bridge when you already have one created by libvirtd? See virbr0 in ifconfig output.

I think it should be 

 egrep -w '(vmx|svm)' --color=always /proc/cpuinfo
