KVM Virtualization With Enomalism 2 On An Ubuntu 8.10 Server

[ Thanks to Falko

for this link. ]

“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
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca
cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext
fxsr_opt rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow rep_good nopl pni cx16 lahf_lm
cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacy 3dnowprefetch flags : fpu vme de
pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36
clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext
fxsr_opt rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow rep_good nopl pni cx16 lahf_lm
cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacy 3dnowprefetch

root@server1:~#

“If nothing is displayed, then your processor doesn’t support
hardware virtualization, and you must stop here.”
