[Users] mavericks as a guest vm?

2014-01-26 Thread Mark
I have older Xserve hardware that is 64 bit but the bios is 32 bit. Fusion
runs mavericks with no problem. The vm runs in 64 bit mode.

I'd like to run mavericks as vm under ovirt on this hardware.

Google searches I've done keep pointing to vmware.

Any pointers?

From a license perspective you can only run OSX on apple hardware.
So for example you can run VMware Fusion, VirtualBox, Parallels, etc on MacOSX.
VMware does have experimental support for installing ESX on Apple hardware.

This hasn't (formally) been done for KVM.
There were some patches flying around a few years ago that tweaked the 
emulation to expose some Mac friendly devices including the systems management 
chip but these didn't go into mainline.

In theory it could be done - even on non-Apple hardware (license issues aside) 
especially with the newer device emulation (q35) that we have in modern qemu

I found this 
http://www.linux-kvm.org/wiki/images/2/2b/KvmForum2008$kdf2008_8.pdf there are 
probably newer versions out there, likely from Alexander.
