How do i check if my server is ready to use kvm?
-
KVM stands for Kernel-Based Virtual Machine. It allows the linux kernel to run as an hypervisor.
Make sure the hardware virtualization is supported, know as Intel VT-x or AMD-V
$ egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo
or you can run kvm-ok, by installing the package cpu-checker
$ kvm-ok INFO: /dev/kvm exists KVM acceleration can be used
otherwise you'll see:
INFO: Your CPU does not support
KVM extensions KVM acceleration can NOT be usedYou can still run KVM, just mean it will be slower.
