Thanks for the reply. How to know that the CentOS 7 kerenel is whether PV or HVM? When I searched about it, I found the following link, where the kernel type us determined from the 2 following commands 1. uname -r 2. lsmod | grep xen If both have "*xen*", then it is PV, if lsmod returns something but not in kernel name then its PV-HVM, else its HVM >From what I understand, the first command never have "Xen" extension to the CentOS 7 kernel. So, can I conclude that there are only 2 types of kernels in case of CentOS 7 onwards, i.e PV & HVM. http://serverfault.com/questions/511923/determine-which-guest-is-running-on-xen-hvm-or-pv-guest On Wed, Aug 19, 2015 at 5:32 PM, Peter <peter at pajamian.dhs.org> wrote: > On 08/19/2015 09:46 PM, Venkateswara Rao Dokku wrote: > > Is the CentOS 7 PV kernel available? > > I installed latest CentOS 7 & I found out that it is a HVM guest. > > > > So, if we wanted to have CentOS PV guest for CentOS 7, is there any > > specific steps to follow? > > or the same kernel will work as both PV & HVM? > > The CentOS 7 stock kernel is Xen PV enabled. > > > Peter > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > -- Thanks & Regards, Venkateswara Rao Dokku.
