KVM is the Linux kernel's native virtualization.

Install it

SUSE 11

This has been tested on SUSE Linux 11.2, 11.3 and 11.4.

Networking

You will have to set up networking for your virtual machines. Otherwise they won't start. So, on your host machine:

  • start networking configuration
yast2 lan
  • delete the configuration of your network card. We call it eth0 in this example.
  • create an additional network device, a bridge, using yast2. Assign it your default IP address. Configure it to bridge network traffic for eth0.
  • restart networking
/etc/init.d/network restart

KVM Software

  • install the KVM software like this:
# yast -i kvm virt-manager
# /etc/init.d/libvirtd start
# chkconfig libvirtd on
# virt-manager
  • click on new, continue as adviced

backup

# virsh list --all
# cp -r /var/lib/xen/images/virtual_machine /target

TroubleShooting

in Miami FL (test IP: 99.192.244.254). You can also get Xen VPS but at a more exepnsive price, and KVM is also coming soon. IRC clients are allowed but not server according to their policies. Domain has only been

internal error No <source> 'bridge' attribute specified

Symptom: When starting a virtual machine you get an error

internal error No <source> 'bridge' attribute specified with <interface type='bridge'/>

To resolve this

  • you disable networking
