No idea where to from here, so if there is anyone that has a working

advise what you have done to get it working.
I deliberately bailed on VirtualBox when we moved to C7, as KVM offered
everything I needed with less hassle.
I take it you've considered switching?
Considered, very briefly. I have had great success and stability with
running VirtualBox on both CentOS 5 & 6 for the few Windoze apps that my
clients need to run and have up on a server 24x7. The set ups I am using
have been running reliably for over 8 years and remote manged with zero
issues - HUGE thanks to the CentOS team for an awesome OS system delivery
Thus, I have simply installed the latest VirtualBox on CentOS 7 and gone
from there. I was aware that systemd existed and deliberately waited until
this year to upgrade the hardware and OS, thinking issues like this should
have been sorted by now.
Are there any good tutorial / howtos for KVM? Although at this point I am
back on another continent and reluctant to shift to KVM when over 20 hours
fly time away from the server.
Why would that be an issue? It's not Xen where you have to boot into a
special kernel ... it's just the ordinary kernel. In fact I'd be surprised
if you had to reboot at all, you should just have to install the
virtualization group (along with virt-tools and virt-manager to make your
life easier, dont' forget to install fonts if using virt-manager over X
forward and wanting to avoid little boxes instead of characters) and be up
and running.
thanks James. I have started working through the document you indicated
and will see how it goes. It may take a few days to sort out enough time.
BTW, will I be able to use the Windows10 image file that VirtualBox uses?
Is there a tool that changes the format of the vm image if its different?
Or am I faced with a new Windoze install and installing the Windoze Apps
all over again?
That may be an issue as the Windoze application is quite complex and the
last two times I have installed it, I had to use the app provider's help
line to solve Windoze 10 issues as the default install has some things
that need changing in order for their app to work.
