Red Hat Product Errata RHEA-2009:1272 - Product Enhancement Advisory
Issued:
2009-09-01
Updated:
2009-09-01

RHEA-2009:1272 - Product Enhancement Advisory

  • Overview
  • Updated Packages

Synopsis

New package: kvm

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

A new KVM package that adds a new hypervisor for full virtualization is now
available.

Description

KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution
for Linux on x86 hardware.

KVM is a Linux kernel module built for the standard Red Hat Enterprise
Linux kernel. KVM can run multiple unmodified, virtualized guest Windows
and Linux operating systems. KVM is a hypervisor which uses the libvirt
virtualization tools (virt-manager and virsh).

The KVM hypervisor cannot run at the same time as the Xen hypervisor. Both
hypervisors, Xen and KVM, can be installed on the same system, however,
only one hypervisor can be used at a time.

KVM is only available for the Intel 64 and AMD64 architectures.

For more information on changing hypervisor or using KVM refer to the Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Virtualization Guide.

All users requiring KVM should install this newly released package.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259
