Virtualization With KVM On Ubuntu 9.10

[ Thanks to Falko
Timme for this link. ]

“This guide explans how you can install and use KVM for creating
and running virtual machines on an Ubuntu 9.10 server. I will show
how to create image-based virtual machines and also virtual
machines that use a logical volume (LVM). KVM is short for
Kernel-based Virtual Machine and makes use of hardware
virtualization, i.e., you need a CPU that supports hardware
virtualization, e.g. Intel VT or AMD-V.

“I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!

“1 Preliminary Note

“I’m using a machine with the hostname server1.example.com and
the IP address 192.168.0.100 here as my KVM host. Because we will
run all the steps from this tutorial with root privileges, we can
either prepend all commands in this tutorial with the string sudo,
or we become root right now by typing

sudo su

“2 Installing KVM And vmbuilder

“First check if your CPU supports hardware virtualization – if
this is the case, the command egrep ‘(vmx|svm)’ –color=always
/proc/cpuinfo”
