It's smoother now, but still not as good as on my Fedora client machine (I'm using virt-viewer to get to the Windows KVM). -- Kanwar R.S.

Thing is, the sha1sum was the same as the first time I downloaded the ISO so there was no corruption to speak of. I really don't know why it wasn't working before. I haven't done much in the preview except try out Spartan and do some configuration. I like the UI design. The only thing that really is driving me nuts is the mouse. My mouse is not running smoothly in the KVM. On my desktop (Fedora 20 running Gnome) my mouse is fine. In other KVMs (e.g. Fedora 22) the mouse works just as smoothly. But, in this preview build, there appears to be a lag...or something. It's difficult to describe. Umm...it's almost like frames are dropping. I don't know. Overall it just sucks and its killing my desire to play around with it more. My daughter has recently started playing the games at www.roblox.com. In this preview build, starting up any game makes Windows crash. Maybe a future build will fix that. -- Kanwar R.S.

[CentOS-virt] Windows 10 tech preview build 10130
Hi Everyone, Has anyone managed to install Windows 10 tech preview build 10130 as a KVM on a CentOS 6 host? I'm having problems that I haven't been able to get past. I can get the CD to boot and the install process to begin, but Windows keeps complaining about missing drivers. I've unsuccessfully tried the VirtIO ISOs from the Fedora project. The images I tried were: virtio-win-0.1-100.iso virtio-win-0.1.105.iso virtio-win-0.1.96.iso I have two IDE CD-ROMs attached which appears to be working fine (otherwise the installer wouldn't start and I wouldn't be able to traverse the VirtIO ISO). The NIC was an e1000, but I changed it to rtl8139. I've changed the HD from IDE, to Virtio iscsi to Virtio disk and none of that has seemed to help. I'd appreciate some pointers/tips.

[CentOS-virt] RAID: by host or within KVM?
Hi Virtualizers, I just setup a CentOS 6 box (at home) to run as a KVM host. It's replacing an absolutely ancient CentOS 5 server that's running Xen. I have one OS drive, and two drives in RAID 1 with LVM on top which is being used as the KVM storage pool. I created a KVM that will run OpenMediaVault (OMV). OMV requires an OS drive (which is really a LVM), and a separate drive(s) to put all the media on. This is where I'm a little unsure on how to proceed. I think I have two options: 1. Let the KVM host manage the drives (i.e. RAID with LVM on top) and just assign the single volume to OMV. OMV will see it as one HD. 2. Assign the individual drives to the OMV KVM, and let OMV manage the RAID creation, management, etc. I'm not sure which one will perform better. My hunch is if the RAID management is left at the host level, I'll see better overall performance. Performance isn't exactly my number one goal here, but I don't want to kill it completely either by going the wrong way. On the other hand, if I let OMV do the RAID management for the media storage disks, I'll gain future flexibility because it'll be much easier to move OMV to bare metal. Which way should I go? What would you guys do? Regards, Ranbir -- Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt

One of the bonded NICs will go down, and the kernel should report it as such. Regards, Ranbir ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt

The ConVirt 2.0 generation combines a flexible, open architecture, the highest level of management capabilities, and the industry’s most flexible pricing model.

Why would one use ConVirt instead of the management tools included in RHEL and/or CentOS? What's the difference?
