<h1>QEMU/KVM hypervisor driver</h1>
|
|
|
|
<ul id="toc"></ul>
|
|
|
|
<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.
|
|

|
<h2><a name="prereq">Deployment pre-requisites</a></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>

<h2><a name="uris">Connections to QEMU driver</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The libvirt QEMU driver is a multi-instance driver, providing a single
|
|
system wide privileged driver (the "system" instance), and per-user
|
|
unprivileged drivers (the "session" instance). The of the driver protocol
|
|
is "qemu". Some example conection URIs for the libvirt driver are:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
qemu:///session (local access to per-user instance)
|
|
qemu+unix:///session (local access to per-user instance)
|
|
|
|
qemu:///system (local access to system instance)
|
|
qemu+unix:///system (local access to system instance)
|
|
qemu://example.com/system (remote access, TLS/x509)
|
|
qemu+tcp://example.com/system (remote access, SASl/Kerberos)
|
|
qemu+ssh://root@example.com/system (remote access, SSH tunnelled)
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<h2><a name="imex">Import and export of libvirt domain XML configs</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The QEMU driver currently supports a single native
|
|
config format known as <code>qemu-argv</code>. The data for this format
|
|
is expected to be a single line first a list of environment variables,
|
|
then the QEMu binary name, finally followed by the QEMU command line
|
|
arguments</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="xmlimport">Converting from QEMU args to domain XML</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code>virsh domxml-from-native</code> provides a way to convert an
|
|
existing set of QEMU args into a guest description using libvirt Domain XML
|
|
that can then be used by libvirt.
