Virtualization in RHEL5
In Rhel 5 virtualization can be done in two ways
Para Virtualization
Full Virtualization
Para virtualization : Min 512 MB Ram and CPU must support PAE Flag
Full Virtualization : Min 512 MB Ram and CPU which supports VMX (Intel Processors and vm AMD)
We must install xen Kernel, which supports virtualization to be supported in the server
and we should install virt-manager, Just like Vmware in windows
#yum install kernel-xen-2.6.*****
#yum install virt-manager
Whenever we install the xen kernel the following services will start
libvirtd
xend
Now to open virt manager in the server type the following command :
#virt-manager
click on New --> forward
-->VM1 (Guest os name)
--> forward --> ftp://server1.example.com/pub (path that we have copied the RHEL5 DVD )
--> Normal Disk Partition (Seperate partition) ...and follow the on screen instructions
Note : to check the cpu info
#cat /proc/cpuinfo
The entire above process is para - virtualization
For Full Virtualization we need to install the package
I will provide the screen shots ASAP.
