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=61&rev1=60 The comment on the change is: adding relnotes for this feature ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ === Kernel Integration Improvements === Previously, the Xen kernel was created by forward-porting Xen bits from the 2.6.18 kernel into the current Fedora kernel. This task was arduous and labor intensive, and resulted in the Xen kernel being several releases behind the bare-metal kernel. The inclusion of paravirt ops now makes this process unnecessary. Once paravirt ops is merged upstream, Xen will no longer require a separate kernel. + + Fullyvirtualized Linux guests now have 3 possible installation methods: + + * PXE boot from the network + * Local CDROM drive / ISO image + * Network install from a FTP/HTTP/NFS hosted distribution tree + + The latter allows for fully automated installation through the use of kickstart files. This provides parity between Xen HVM and KVM guests in terms of installation methods. + + For more information refer to: + + http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XenFullvirtKernelBoot === Improved Storage Management === Previously, Fedora introduced the ability to manage existing guest domains remotely using `libvirt`. It was not possible to create new guests due to the lack of storage management capabilities. In Fedora [[GetVal(DocsDict,BeatsVer)]], new storage management can create and delete storage volumes from a remote host using `libvirt`. -- Fedora-relnotes-content mailing list Fedora-relnotes-content@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-relnotes-content
