SUSE 11.2

# yast -i kvm virt-manager
# /etc/init.d/libvirtd start
# chkconfig libvirtd on

SUSE 11.1

Here is an example how to use KVM virtualization on SUSE Linux 11.1.

Install kvm

open a console and enter:

yast -i kvm
yast -i virt-manager
/etc/init.d/libvirtd start
chkconfig libvirtd on
virt-manager

Now comes the first pitfall: You have to select localhost, then new. Otherwise you will not be able to create new virtual machines.

Install virtinst

Suddenly you will find out you need to install virtinst.

tweedleburg:~/virtinst-0.500.2 # python setup.py install

uninstall vm and libvirt

Install libdevmapper

From ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/dm/

Install libvirt

Start it

Start virt-manager:

/usr/local/bin/virt-manager
