• Installing KVM Guests With virt-install On Ubuntu 11.04 Server

  Author: Falko Timme • Tags: virtualization, ubuntu, kvm • Comments: 0

  Installing KVM Guests With virt-install On Ubuntu 11.04 Server Unlike virt-manager, virt-install is a command line tool that allows you to create KVM guests on a headless server. You may ask yourself: "But I can use vmbuilder to do this, why do I need virt-install?" The difference between virt-install and vmbuilder is that vmbuilder is for creating Ubuntu-based guests, whereas virt-install lets you install all kinds of operating systems (e.g. Linux, Windows, Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD) and distributions in a guest, just like virt-manager. This article shows how you can use it on an Ubuntu 11.04 KVM server.

• Virtualization With KVM On Ubuntu 11.04

  Author: Falko Timme • Tags: kvm, ubuntu, virtualization • Comments: 11

  Virtualization With KVM On Ubuntu 11.04 This guide explains how you can install and use KVM for creating and running virtual machines on an Ubuntu 11.04 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.

• Installing And Using OpenVZ On CentOS 5.6

  Author: Falko Timme • Tags: centos, openvz, virtualization • Comments: 2

  Installing And Using OpenVZ On CentOS 5.6 In this HowTo I will describe how to prepare a CentOS 5.6 server for OpenVZ. With OpenVZ you can create multiple Virtual Private Servers (VPS) on the same hardware, similar to Xen and the Linux Vserver project. OpenVZ is the open-source branch of Virtuozzo, a commercial virtualization solution used by many providers that offer virtual servers. The OpenVZ kernel patch is licensed under the GPL license, and the user-level tools are under the QPL license.

• Paravirtualization With Xen 4.0 On Debian Squeeze (AMD64)

  Author: Falko Timme • Tags: virtualization, debian, xen • Comments: 13

  Paravirtualization With Xen 4.0 On Debian Squeeze (AMD64) This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install Xen 4.0 on a Debian Squeeze (6.0) system (AMD64) and create paravirtualized guests. Xen lets you create guest operating systems (*nix operating systems like Linux and FreeBSD), so called "virtual machines" or domUs, under a host operating system (dom0). Using Xen you can separate your applications into different virtual machines that are totally independent from each other (e.g. a virtual machine for a mail server, a virtual machine for a high-traffic web site, another virtual machine that serves your customers' web sites, a virtual machine for DNS, etc.), but still use the same hardware. This saves money, and what is even more important, it's more secure. If the virtual machine of your DNS server gets hacked, it has no effect on your other virtual machines. Plus, you can move virtual machines from one Xen server to the next one.

  Installing VirtualBox 3.2 On A Fedora 14 Desktop This tutorial shows how you can install VirtualBox 3.2 on a Fedora 14 desktop. With VirtualBox you can create and run guest operating systems ("virtual machines") such as Linux and Windows under a host operating system. There are two ways of installing VirtualBox: from precompiled binaries that are available for some distributions and come under the PUEL license, and from the sources that are released under the GPL. This article will show how to set up VirtualBox 3.2 from the precompiled binaries.
