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