"1 Preliminary Note
I'm using an Ubuntu 8.10 server with the hostname server1.example.com and the IP address 192.168.0.100 here as my KVM host. The server is located in a private network with a DHCP server (on the router, IP 192.168.0.1). Enomalism usage might be different if you use it in a public network.
"I'm running all the steps in this tutorial with root privileges, so make sure you're logged in as root:
sudo su
"Please check if your CPU supports hardware virtualization - if this is the case, the command
egrep '(vmx|svm)' --color=always /proc/cpuinfo
"should display something, e.g. like this:
root@server1:~# egrep '(vmx|svm)' --color=always /proc/cpuinfo

"If nothing is displayed, then your processor doesn't support hardware virtualization, and you must stop here."
