  1. KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution
  2. for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT
  3. or AMD-V). It consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko, that provides
  4. the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module,
  5. kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko. KVM also requires a modified QEMU although
  6. work is underway to get the required changes upstream.
  7. Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual machines running unmodified Linux
  8. or Windows images. Each virtual machine has private virtualized hardware:
  9. a network card, disk, graphics adapter, etc.
  10. Reload udev rules. # /etc/rc.d/rc.udev reload
  11. How use kvm with a non-privileged user:
  12. Add kvm group # groupadd kvm
  13. Add user to kvm group. Re-login.
  14. # modprobe kvm-intel or # modprobe kvm-amd
