How To Run Fully-Virtualized Guests (HVM) With Xen 3.2 On Debian Lenny (x86_64) This guide explains how you can set up fully-virtualized guests (HVM) with Xen 3.2 on a Debian Lenny x86_64 host system. HVM stands for HardwareVirtualMachine; to set up such guests, you need a CPU that supports hardware virtualization (Intel VT or AMD-V). Hardware virtualization allows you to install unmodified guest systems (in contrast to paravirtualization where the guest kernel needs to be modified); that way you cannot only virtualize OpenSource operating systems like Linux and BSD, but also closed-source operating systems like Windows where you cannot modify the kernel. in Public bookmarkswith amd-vdebianhardwarehvmintellennymachinevirtualvirtualizationvtxen
Virtualization With KVM On Ubuntu 8.10 This guide explains how you can install and use KVM for creating and running virtual machines on an Ubuntu 8.10 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. in Public bookmarkswith amd-vintelintrepidkvmlibvirtdlvmmachineubuntuvirtualvirtualizationvmvmbuildervt
Watching Your Power Consumption With Powertop On Fedora 7 Powertop is a command-line tool released by Intel that shows you the power consumption of the applications running on your system. It works best on notebooks with Intel mobile processors and can help you find out the programs that put a strain on your notebook battery. It requires kernel 2.6.21 or newer with tickless idle enabled (CONFIG_NO_HZ) (which is currently available for 32-bit kernels only). Fedora 7 comes with a 2.6.21 kernel by default, so we can use Powertop on it. in Public bookmarkswith consumptionfedoraintellinuxpowerpowertop
