Virtualization on Linux
Also see: BigDatacenters
- Main goal is to run windows instance on Linux.
- Two main options: KVM and VBox(Oracle)
- KVM
For WinXP to use sata you need the intel driver Intel-SATA-Driver-f6flpy3288.zip
- KVM
Convert from Virtualbox(Oracle) to KVM(RedHat)
Convert the VirtualBox VDI file into a RAW image.
- $ VBoxManage clonehd --format RAW MyTestVM.vdi MyTestVM.raw
- Convert the RAW image into a QCOW file.
- $ qemu-img convert -f raw MyTestVM.raw -O qcow2 MyTestVM.img
- Voila. Go into virt-manager, create the machine, and use your newly created image.
