Virtualization With KVM On An OpenSUSE 11.3 Server

Virtualization With KVM On An OpenSUSE 11.3 Server

This guide explains how you can install and use KVM for creating and
running virtual machines on an OpenSUSE 11.3 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.

Running Virtual Machines With VirtualBox 4.0 On A Headless Ubuntu 10.10 Server

This guide explains how you can run virtual machines with VirtualBox 4.0 on a headless Ubuntu 10.10 server. Normally you use the VirtualBox GUI to manage your virtual machines, but a server does not have a desktop environment. Fortunately, VirtualBox comes with a tool called VBoxHeadless that allows you to connect to the virtual machines over a remote desktop connection, so there’s no need for the VirtualBox GUI.

Up and Running with KVM Ubuntu Style: Part Two

Last week, you tested your Ubuntu system for KVM compatibility, installed KVM on your host server and installed a guest operating system into a virtual machine. This week you’ll learn some KVM-oriented terminology and will continue your dive into KVM Ubuntu style by working with virtual machines via the virsh command.

How To Install VMware Server 2 On A Fedora 14 Desktop (Kernel 2.6.35)

How To Install VMware Server 2 On A Fedora 14 Desktop (Kernel
2.6.35)

This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install
VMware Server 2 on a Fedora 14 desktop system (with kernel 2.6.35). With
VMware Server you can create and run guest operating systems (“virtual
machines”) such as Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, etc. under a host operating
system. This has the benefit that you can run multiple operating systems
on the same hardware which saves a lot of money, and you can move
virtual machines from one VMware Server to the next one (or to a system
that has the VMware Player which is also free).

Five Best Virtual Machine Applications

Most modern computers are powerful enough to run entire operating systems within your main operating systems, which means virtual machines are more commonplace today than ever. Here’s a look at the five most popular virtual machine applications. Virtual machines allow you to run one operating system emulated within another operating system. Your primary OS can be Windows 7 64-bit, for example, but with enough memory and processing power, you can run Ubuntu and OS X side-by-side within it. Earlier this week we asked you to share your favorite virtual machine application, and now we’re back to highlight the five most popular picks.
