I've been trying to do some KVM virtualization on a C5 host, and to my surprise, there seems to be no kvm package in any of the repos.
read docs at
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/pdf...
I did read those. On page 31 the instructions say that kvm can be installed via yum by saying "yum install kvm". That's where I got stuck.
Why you are using Centos 5 ? version 6 and 7 are already released?
This host is a remote machine, and I will not have physical access to it until next month. While I do plan to scrap it and install C7, I don't feel like attempting to do that remotely. :-)
As for guests that should run on that host, I figured that I could create and run them even now, and just back them up when I get to upgrading the host. I wouldn't like to waste a whole month of guests not running, just waiting for the host upgrade.
So, is there any possibility to have kvm on C5?
yes, just do 'yum install kvm' and remember that x86_64 cpu with hardware virtualization is needed ..
