If you see vmx or svm in the output under flags section, then your hardware (CPU) supports the virtualization. To check whether your CPU supports the hardware virtualization, execute the following command. Check Virtualization Support on your Hardware

virt-viewer: An X viewer client for VM Guests which supports TLS/SSL encryption of x509 certificate authentication and SASL authentication.Ģ.

vm-install: A script based menu driven utility that define a VM Guest and install its operating system.

virt-manager (Virtual Machine Manager): A graphical management tool for VM Guests.

There are few other tools available that you can use to manage your guest VM. Full list of supported hypervisors, is listed on libvirt. You can use this libvirt tool to manage any existing virtual machines running on KVM, Xen, VMWARE ESX, etc. This software includes an API library, a daemon (libvirtd), and a command line utility (virsh). Instead of this tool, you can use the software package known as libvirt which is more convenient and recommended way to manage virtual machines. The KVM package provides qemu-kvm, a hypervisor specific tool to manage virtual machines.

This is the 1st article in an on-going series of articles on KVM.

In Para virtualization, the operating system is modified to work with a virtual machine, which will minimize the execution time required to perform the operations that are otherwise difficult to run in a virtual environment. Para-virtualization enables several operating systems to run on one set of hardware by effectively using resources such as processors and memory. The guest operating systems can be fully virtualized or para virtualized. KVM stands for Kernel-based Virtual Machine.Īs the name suggests, this is kernel based virtualization technology for Linux OS on hardware that supports virtualization.
