The best "documentation" is that if you don't personally care to burn your time learning to do virtualization software integration from source code, you use the RPM's from the upstream vendor. Red Hat's notes are aimed at RHEL, and the CentOS 6.5 package are built form the latest Red Hat published source with all the patches, integrated with their virt-manager and KVM and other components. Don't do it from scratch unless you care to spend development time on what should be a plug and play operations.

Hi,
I am in the process of converting a w2k8 physical server to C6.5 kvm. In reading https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/... It says that virtio-win rpm is required. I know that the virtio-win rpms are not available for Centos 6.5 but the drivers are available for download at https://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/virtio-win/latest/images/bin/
My question is does any have anyone have any documentation that shows where I should put the virtio-win drivers in order to get a successful migration? Is there any better documentation that I should use to get the migration done?
I have been googling all afternoon with no real progress. Some old threads I have found seem to indicate that /usr/share/virtio-win is the correct place but those threads are from 2011. I need to do the migration tomorrow and I would like to be as prepared as possible.
