My physical system is a Fedora 15 x86_64 system with an Intel Core2 Duo E6320 processor that supports virtualization.
I have Windows Xp installed onto a qcow2 virtual machine. I call it like so: qemu-kvm -enable-kvm -cpu core2duo -m 1024 -boot c -vga std -soundhw pcspk,es1370 -localtime -hda win-c.img -hdb win-e.img -cdrom /dev/sr0 1. Do I need the -enable-kvm argument in the line above? 2. qemu-kvm -cpu ? mentions the arguments -cpu core2duo, kvm64, qemu64 and others, but, from the list provided, it is unclear which I am to use. I have been using core2duo. Does this refer to my physical or virtual computer? Which should I choose? I want my virtual machine to be as close as possible to a clone of my real machine, for the purposes of running the virtual machine. 3. I read about getting better performance using the virtio driver. Can it be used with qemu-kvm or only with libvirt? If I can use it, how would I do so? I don't see any mention of it in the qemu documentation, nor does there appear to be anywhere in the virtual system's device manager where I can select a different driver for the hard drive. _______________________________________________ virt mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt
