I have successfully migrated VM`s from ESXi to KVM. To convert disk I use next command: qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O qcow2 dist-flat.vmdk disk.img You also can use raw instead of qcow2. But I have some troubles with MS Windows machines. It falls to BSoD caused by lame disk drivers. Mon 26 July

KVM seems to have a future in centos. I have a couple of servers running kvm, with only 4 cores per server. I tend use 1 real core for each virtual cpu assigned to the guests, because I don't need that many guests. So, I can't speak to scaling... Performance is excellent, however. It's been a

If you are using ESX/i remember that this hypervisor uses 2 kinds of disk type (in 4.0.x). VMDK monolithic flat and VMDK monolithic sparse. This disks types are directly supported from kvm. Monolithic flat is compounded for 2 files. * disk.vmdk is a text file with disk info * disk-flat.vmdk

If you want to use 32bit host OS, then you only have one choice - Xen. Yes... All software is 32 bits I think he meant if you had a 32bit host to run the guests on, and did not mean 32bit guests. If your hardware has virt extensions, then it's a 64bit host. KVM certainly runs 32bit and 64bit
