Hi Everyone, I am running into performance issues with Windows guest VM's in conjunction with the rather old version of Qemu-KVM that is currently being shipped with rhel 6.4 and as such I am looking to upgrade to the latest stable release of qemu (v1.7.1 if I am not mistaken). As it stands now I have been unsuccessful in locating a good guide/tutorial on how to correctly update (or remove & install) v1.7.1 - Does anyone have a good tutorial on how to properly get it installed under CentOS 6 (or rhel 6 in general)? The reason for the upgrade is due high context switch rate when the Windows virtual VM's are idle causing the hypervisor machine to utilize a lot more CPU than it should be. Based on my Google skills I have located several threads noting upgrade to at least 0.12.4 should help resolve the issue, however as it stands right now I really do not have any confirmation of this. As to CentOS, unfortunately the control panel system we are using currently limits us to rhel 6 based distros and as such swapping to a debian based distro or otherwise is not currently an option. Any advice & feedback would be very much appreciated.
