know whether VMI is supported/enabled and what performance benefits can
I expect from it? I'm still not getting full hard drive speeds (only
getting about 1/3 when using hdparm -t ).
I don't believe it is supported in CentOS 5.x. I am using Fedora Core
8 for VMI support.
[root@dc1-ntp001:~]# dmesg | grep -i vmi
VMI: Found VMware, Inc. Hypervisor OPROM, API version 3.0, ROM version 1.0
vmi: registering clock event vmi-timer. mult=7809995 shift=22
Booting paravirtualized kernel on vmi
vmi: registering clock source khz=1862048
Time: vmi-timer clocksource has been installed.
I suspect it will be in RHEL/CentOS 6.x

Does it just require a kernel recompile? Is there maybe one available
somewhere?
Would
it give me improved disk access speed?
