Hi

I am not using virt-manager or any = management solutions.

I created my virtual machines manually.
You mean using pre-built= guest images?
For virtual disks, you can create it using dd or u= se LVM or physical partitions.
Please guide me creating LVMs. blow is my partition details:
 [root@Server1-FC11 ~]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 438.4 GB, 438489317376 bytes
255 heads, 63 secto= rs/track, 53309 cylinders
Units =3D cylinders of 16065 * 512 =3D 8225280= bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000080

   Device Boot   &n= bsp;  Start         End &= nbsp;    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1&nbs= p;            &= nbsp; 1          13  = ;    104391   83  Linux
/dev/sda2 &nb= sp;            14&nb= sp;       2180    17406427+&nb= sp; 82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3     = ;       2181     &nb= sp; 42776   326087370   83  Linux
/dev/sda4&nbs= p;          42777  &= nbsp;    53309    84606322+   5  Extended
/dev/sda5   * &nb= sp;     42777       53309=     84606291   83  Linux

After that yo= u just need to create a vm configuration file. Then you start the vm using = the xm create command.

For=0A pa= ravirtualized guests I don't think you need the hardware virtualization ass= ist (VMX). You only need vmx when you want to create HVM guests.

No i just need to enable virtualization flag on my in= tel xeon quad core processor, so that i can create paravirt VMs in my set-u= p. Which at this time virt-manager is not allowing me to do.
