yum install kvm
Then search for virtio drivers. Redhat provides virtio block drivers for Windows Vista, 7, 2008.
What benefits may provide me the virtio drivers ?
They make use of the paravirtualized virtio framework which is orders of magnitude faster than fully virtualized i/o.
Also what suggestions do you have about running win2k3, win2k8 server as a guests on CentOS5 kvm host ?
Well, somebody said use AMD cpus because they are more stable but I have never managed to get that validated.
I'm interesting about disk organization for guest OS at first.
If you need performance, you need paravirtualized i/o. With a kvm solution, that means going through virtio. I think Xen has its own solution to this and other than this, I know nothing about vmware and virtualbox on this score. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
