Topic: SME Server 8.X as KVM Hypervisor Host?

[alzhy]

Wanted to edit my previous post's heading to change the subject but I don't know or can't seem to. So this is esentially a re-post.

Planning to build a Nehalem(core i7-870) or a Thuban (AMD Phenom X6) system with oodles of memory and fast(er)/RAIDed disks. Since SME server is based on more current upstream releases of CentOS/RHEL -- can it effectively serve as KVM (kernel virtual machine) hypervisor host?

With vMware Server 1.x and 2.X being EOL'd in January 2011 and workarounds becoming sparse and dificult, I am looking at using KVM instead.

Are there KVM/libvirt bits on the repositories? Or would there be no issues applying the CentOS bits?

TIA!

my 2€c: use proxmox or vmware esxi and use SME as guest

Or simply build a plain CentOS as host (with KVM/libvirt), and SME as a guest (this is what I do on several installs, it works great).

Next time please don't, you could have easily filed an adjustment by adding another post explaining your issue, creating two threads is only adding to the confusion.
