I´ve done it few weeks ago. It works flawless. The only thing you have to do is: virtio as harddisk and e1000 as nic. Virtio nic was unstable in my case. If you want to use more than one core for the vm - use the 2.6.35 kernel.

Great thnx. Wlll download the 120 day trial than to test it out before I have the customer buy the license..
Since I need OpenVZ, I use 2.6.32, so would like to know what problem did you have with it and multicore KVM guests (and M$Os or GNU/Linux, if makes any difference).
Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot
The host with the multicore windows-vm had real high load with 2.6.32 and it is gone with the 2.6.35. Since I use pure KVM for Linux and WindowsGuests I´m fine with 2.6.35. The multicore problem is just related to Win-VM´s. Linux-VM´s multicored running fine with 2.6.32 and KVM. So I don´t need OpenVZ any more.

So in my case since I run windows I can run kvm only?? Also for the Linux vps-es?

Hi,So in my case since I run windows I can run kvm only?? Also for the Linux vps-es?
it's depends on your kernel. If you run the 2.6.18 you can use OpenVZ (linux only) and kvm (windows,linux,...). If you use 2.6.32 it's the same but not in all cases stable with OpenVZ. The 2.6.35-kernel is kvm-only. But you can install in the kvm-vm what you like (windows, opensolaris, linux...).
Each kernel has advantages and disadvantages.

KVM has its advantages so I'm not too worried. The current server will be the 1st that will be used for different customers on one server so therefore KVM is adviced I guess. Will figure out where to put the iso's for several distro's so I can easily install new vps-es remotely. Only used openvz before so takes a little time to sort things out I guess.
