I encounter the following problem, which I can reproduce. But I have no clue,

you know if it is supported?
What advantages for KVM over things like Vbox?
I know how to use Vbox but would have to learn a whole new thing to
use KVM.
Admittedly a bit dense about what KVM is and how it works compared to
other vm solutions, even in a brief endeavor to `readup' on it. I hit
things like (on KVM homepage

I had been trying to work out some kind of HA using iscsi LUNS + ZFS mirror on
top of that; but I never got around to figuring out an automated failover
process.
You would want the master to not share out it's LUN; and the other node to
check if there is a system at the 'master' address before

Ok, I ask because I know the Intel port is very specific (Nahelm,

No VT support if it is this celeron:
http://ark.intel.com/products/27123/Intel-Celeron-D-Processor-345-(256K-Cache-3_06-GHz-533-MHz-FSB)
You can search this intel site to figure the functionality of an intel CPU.
Btw, not only does the CPU needs VT support, but you must be able to enable it

If you are going with Intel then make jolly sure to read the small type before
committing. I assumed the quad core Q8200 I purchased a couple years back would
have VT-x

Better yet, look here for a definitive answer before purchasing:

I believe you need more than just VT-x. I have a T7700 that the link Gary
pointed to (http://ark.intel.com/VTList.aspx) says has VT-x. However that
processor doesn't work for OI with KVM, at least not when it's in a Thinkpad
T61p. It would sorta try to work, but any guest OS other than OI
Back in October when I was trying to get this working it was suspected that
issue with the T7700 was the lack of ept and vpid. Possibly lack of vt-d too.
Given all the variations I think it would be more reliable and a better
community experience to report known working CPUs than pointing to
You need to have EPT, certainly.
Joshua and I did some work to make shadow paging work again on the
AMD, and got to the point where it did for he and I, but seemingly not
for anyone else :\ It'd be a good place to start for anyone wanting
to remove the EPT requirement though.

The ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution paired-with a Xeon-class Server processor.
It's a bit of an older chipset; but, it supports 24GB of RAM.

It does support ECC memory, though with the following caveats:**

Actually, automatic failover will not be necessary, it is after all only
a mail server in an environment with fairly resilient users.
They'd be quite happy to have to call a sysadm up for manual failover.
I think in an almost unsupported OS like OI is today, one shouldn't rely
on anything but
