From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Avi Kivity Subject: [ANNOUNCE] KVM userspace release 5 Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2006 17:58:48 +0200 Message-ID: <456C5CB8.6090909@qumranet.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: linux-kernel Return-path: To: kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: kvm.vger.kernel.org http://kvm.sourceforge.net Changes: - AMD SVM support (x86-64 hosts only) - Preliminary live migration support - 'make install' also installs kernel modules, if selected - random fixes The kernel package in this release produces three modules: kvm.ko, kvm-intel.ko, and kvm-amd.ko. To use kvm, you must either 'modprobe kvm-$arch', or 'insmod /path/to/kvm.ko; insmod /path/to/kvm-$arch.ko'. The new live migration feature (at present more accurately described as "zombie migration", since the guest does not make progress while it is migrated) can be used as follows (assume two hosts A, B): 1. A: Start a VM. Play with it for a while. 2. B: Start a VM with *exactly* the same options, plus a '-S'. The disk images must be shared. 3. A: switch to monitor (alt-ctrl-2), type 'stop'. 4. B: switch to monitor, type 'migration listen'. 5. A: 'migration connect' 6. A: 'migration start offline' 7. A: 'quit' 8: B: 'cont', and switch to display (alt-ctrl-1) -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function
