Hello: I am wondering if KVM is ready for production for running a Windows Server 2003 32 bit guest. According to the RHEL 5.4 virtualization guide, there is supposed to be a virtio-win yum package, but that was not released. Instead, it looks like that is only available for RHN subscribers. Also, I saw this posting on the CentOS list: --- Quoted from CL Martinez There are freely redistributable, but still they aren't published by upstream. You can use these instead: http://www.linux-kvm.com/content/windows-binary-virtio-drivers-finally-relea sed, but there are a lot of problems with any windows 64 bits. And another problem, a big really, is that you can¡t install a windows kvm guest directly to a virtio disk. First you need to install to an ide disk, after generate a virtio disk and attach to win guest, install the virtio driver and last remove ide drive ... very very ugly. ---- End Quote That seems to imply things are still not ready for production use. Any opinions? Thanks, Neil -- Neil Aggarwal, (281)846-8957, http://UnmeteredVPS.net CentOS 5.4 VPS with unmetered bandwidth only $25/month!
