<h1>QEMU/KVM hypervisor driver</h1>
<p>
The libvirt QEMU driver can manage any QEMU emulator from version 0.8.1
or later. It can also manage anything that provides the same QEMU command
line syntax and monitor interaction. This includes KVM, and Xenner.
</p>
<h2>Deployment pre-requisites</h2>
<ul><li>
<strong>QEMU emulators</strong>: The driver will probe <code>/usr/bin</code>
for the presence of <code>qemu</code>, <code>qemu-system-x86_64</code>,
<code>qemu-system-mips</code>,<code>qemu-system-mipsel</code>,
<code>qemu-system-sparc</code>,<code>qemu-system-ppc</code>. The results
of this can be seen from the capabilities XML output.
</li><li>
<strong>KVM hypervisor</strong>: The driver will probe <code>/usr/bin</code>
for the presence of <code>qemu-kvm</code> and <code>/dev/kvm</code> device
node. If both are found, then KVM fullyvirtualized, hardware accelerated
guests will be available.
</li><li>
<strong>Xenner hypervisor</strong>: The driver will probe <code>/usr/bin</code>
for the presence of <code>xenner</code> and <code>/dev/kvm</code> device
node. If both are found, then Xen paravirtualized guests can be run using
the KVM hardware acceleration.
</li></ul>
