The background:
my current media server (AMD 1.05ghz, 512M ram.) and never hits 50% of CPU/RAM with the media server running so I don't think it will have any problems once on the new server. but I am running Qemu so that I can run/learn linux. currently running one full time and 2-3 others on an off. problem is windows isn't made to run VM's and hits 90% cpu when Qemu is running 2 VM's that are idle.
The plan:
my new home "server" is a 2 x AMD 2.2GHz Opteron(tm) Processor 248 with 4GB of ram, with a fresh install of proxmox 1.4/4340
I want to move my current windows media server or install a new one with dedicated hard drives and NIC so that I can have native speeds and file systems for the 1.25TB+ of media that I currently have on a 1.5TB drive and don't want to copy it into a container
The Problem:
Attention: This CPU does not support KVM virtual machines (no Intel VT / AMD-V support).
what I think could be the solution:
KVM is an extension of Qemu. what if I could just use Qemu without the KVM extension and just fully emulate it. can this be done?
what will it take to do this? Yes I know that it won't be able to update and that if anything goes wrong I'm on my own. but can it be done?
I am still kinda new to linux. but am willing to try anything!!!!
all thoughts welcome!!!!!!!
Please help me!!!!!!!
