[CentOS-virt] qemu-kvm

Hi everybody,

I am new member at this list but I am not new with CentOS. I use CentOS 5.x till today, but I try CentOS 6.2 now. Regarding virtualization on CentOS 6.2 (i386) I have some problem. I installed all rpm packages joined to CentOS 6.2 and virtualization. When I try to start virt-manager I receive request to install qemu- kvm package. I try to do it accepting virt-manager advice but i can read message that this package is not available. So, I try to install qemu-kvm using yum - still nothing. Next I added additional packages and repositories as follow:

epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm remi-release-6.rpm centos-release-cr-6-0.el6.centos.i686.rpm rpmfusion-free-release-6-0.1.noarch.rpm rpmfusion-nonfree-release-6-0.1.noarch.rpm

Still nothing.

I visited

http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=qemu-kvm

...

but there are qemu-kvm packages destined for CentOS x86_64.

Could anybody advice me where qemu-kvm packages for CentOS 6.2 i386 is placed or what should I to do to fix my problem?

Thanks for any help, Radek

Hello Radek, there are'nt any packages with kvm for i386, because kvm doesn't work on this platform. Thats my opinion.

When you need kvm and qemu, you must use x86_64 and a adequate processor.

Hello Andreas,

Many thanks for this info. I found it in the Internet but I didn't believe... I use on my notebook Fedora 16 i386 and there are all packages for virtualization and all work the best.

So, I understand that CentOS 6.2 i386 closed this line. But what virtualization joined to CentOS 6.2 i386 can I use? I don't think about "external" solutions like Virtual Box, VMware or others. It seems that CentOS 6.2 i386 hasn't virtualization "server" solution, it has client only. Is it true?

Regards, Radek

Radek, you can't compare CentOS with Fedora. CentOS is a respin of Red Hat Enterprise. Fedora is the development for Red Hat Enterprise, like OpenSuSE for SuSE Linux Enterprise. You have a choice:

• Fedora 16 i386 with kvm
• CentOS 6.2 i386 with vmware, ...
• reinstall your Laptop with CentOS 6.2 x86_64 (if it possible) and

kvm

I hope it helps

Andreas,

Thanks again. I know differences between Fedora and CentOS (both system I use more than 10 years). I am satisfied with Fedora on my laptop. I touch CentOS 6.2 virtualization because I plan to migrate my main server from CentOS 5.7 to CentOS 6.2. Unfortunately my test server is 32bits only (that's the reason of my posts). Fortunately my main server is 64bits, so I have chance to migrate my virtualization from CentOS 5.7 and WMware Server to CentOS 6.2 and KVM. I plan this migration because VMware Server is not developed and I don't know what about kernel patches for VMware Server in the future.

Best regards, Radek

You may try to compile own kernel with xen support. I saw good howto on xen.org
