We are trying a test configuration in which a host machine runs the redhat-patched lustre kernel 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5_lustre.1.8.3 and then simultaneously serves as a host for one or more kvm-based virtual machines.
My questions: 1) normally the kernel modules for KVM in the redhat world are supplied by an rpm called kmod-kvm.. does anyone have matching binaries for these that match the above lustre kernel, or instructions on how they could be compiled. 2) Supposing that these four modules (ksm.ko, kvm-amd.ko, kvm-intel.ko, and kvm.ko) can be found somewhere, is the underlying lustre kernel mentioned above, compiled with a configuration such that it could run them? I've looked at the config file and it isn't obvious. On this hardware with a stock redhat kernel, it reports that I can run a fully-virtualized host. But under the above lustre kernel it says that no virtualization options are available. Is that by design Does anyone have experience running recent lustre kernels with KVM either as a host or as a virtual machine guest?
