Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Fedora Project Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by KarstenWade: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Virtualization?action=diff&rev2=33&rev1=32 The comment on the change is: this content seems out of date; we might just pull it for test4 rather than build and translate old stuff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization in Fedora [[GetVal(DocsDict,BeatsVer)]] is based on Xen [[GetVal(DocsDict,xenVer)]] and is integrated within the Fedora installer. Refer to [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/Xen] for more information about Xen. - = Types of Virtualization = + === Types of Virtualization === Under Fedora using Xen [[GetVal(DocsDict,xenVer)]], both paravirtualization and full virtualization can be implemented. Full virtualization requires a VT-capable processor. Paravirtualization does not require special hardware, but does require the guest OS to be modified. To learn more about how to configure and use Xen, refer to [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC6]. - = Guest Operating Systems = + === Guest Operating Systems === - The Fedora [[GetVal(DocsDict,BeatsVer)]] development team has tested Xen with Fedora [[GetVal(DocsDict,BeatsVer)]] and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Beta2 guests. Other guests have not been tested. With paravirtualization, however, users can expect reasonable success running any Linux guest OS that was built for Xen [[GetVal(DocsDict,xenVer)]]. With full virtualization using VT hardware, users can expect reasonable success with a larger variety of operating systems, including some proprietary operating systems. + The Fedora [[GetVal(DocsDict,BeatsVer)]] development team has tested Xen with Fedora [[GetVal(DocsDict,BeatsVer)]] and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 guests.
