Instalasi KVM

Prasyarat

kita akan membutuhkan

qemu-kvm-release.tar.gz
kvm-kmod-release.tar.bz2 (jika kita membutuhkan untuk mengcompile module itu sendiri)
Intel processor yang punya VT, atau AMD processor dengan kemampuan SVM
qemu prerequisites:

o `zlib` libraries and headers
o `SDL` libraries and headers
o `alsa` libraries and headers (optional alsa support: disabled by default but can be enabled with --enable-alsa)
o `gnutls` libraries and headers (optional VNC TLS support: enabled by default but can be disabled with --disable-vnc-tls)
o kernel headers (on Fedora, the kernel-devel package)

Di Debian etch atau Ubuntu 10.10

apt-get install gcc libsdl1.2-dev zlib1g-dev libasound2-dev linux-kernel-headers pkg-config libgnutls-dev libpci-dev

Jika membuat dari git, kita juga akan membutuhkan gawk

Membuka dan mengkonfigurasi komponen KVM

Lakukan

cp qemu-kvm-0.13.0.tar.gz /usr/local/src/
cd /usr/local/src/
tar zxvf qemu-kvm-0.13.0.tar.gz
cd /usr/local/src/qemu-kvm-0.13.0/
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/kvm
make
sudo make install
sudo /sbin/modprobe kvm-intel
# atau: sudo /sbin/modprobe kvm-amd

Jika kita menggunakan kernel yang tua, atau kernel dari distribusi tanpa modul KVM, kita harus mengcompile module itu sendiri:

tar xjf kvm-kmod-release.tar.bz2
cd kvm-kmod-release 
./configure
make 
sudo make install 
sudo /sbin/modprobe kvm-intel 
# atau: sudo /sbin/modprobe kvm-amd

Catatan: jika souned tidak jalan di VM guest, kita dapat menambahkan --audio-drv-list="alsa oss" ke ./configure seperti di jelaskan di http://www.linux-kvm.com/content/sound-problem-solved

Membuat Disk Image untuk Guest

/usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu-img create -f qcow2 vdisk.img 10G

Install Sistem Operasi Guest

sudo /usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -hda vdisk.img -cdrom /path/to/boot-media.iso -boot d  -m 384

(kvm tidak membedakan antara i386 dan x86_64 oleh karenanya meskipun i386 kita harus harus menggunakan `qemu-system-x86_64`)BR

If you have less than 1GB of memory don't use the -m 384 flag (which allocates 384 MB of RAM for the guest). For computers with 512MB of RAM it's safe to use -m 192, or even -m 128 (the default)

Menjalankan guest yang baru di install

sudo /usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 vdisk.img -m 384

or a slightly more complicated example, where it is assumed that bridged networking is available on tap0; see ["Kernel-optimizations"] for some setup hints:

/usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -hda xp-curr.img -m 512 -soundhw es1370 -no-acpi -snapshot -localtime -boot c -usb -usbdevice tablet -net nic,vlan=0,macaddr=00:00:10:52:37:48 -net tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap0,script=no

(kvm doesn't make a distinction between i386 and x86_64 so even in i386 you should use `qemu-system-x86_64`)

If you're on Debian Etch, substitute `kvm` for `qemu-system-x86_64` (thanks to fromport, soren and mael_). See also the entries under the label "Ubuntu" on the HOWTO page. qemu-system-x86_64`

If you're on Fedora/RHEL/CentOS (and installed a kvm package and not built kvm yourself from source) then substitute qemu-kvm for qemu-system-x86_64
