CentOS-Virt 15 Comments

Hi all.

I have just installed CentOS 7.1 from the DVD image:

http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/mirror.CentOS.org/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1503-01.iso

and I cannot find the KVM modules.

Are they in a repo that is not in the base distribution please?

Kind Regards,

Keith

  • Keith,

    What KVM “modules”?

    “yum search kvm” will return some interesting bits, give it a try.

  • Thanks Nux for your reply.

    I have tried doing the search and all these packages are installed:

    ======================================= N/S matched: kvm =======================================
    libvirt-daemon-kvm.x86_64 : Server side daemon & driver required to run KVM guests qemu-kvm-tools.x86_64 : KVM debugging and diagnostics tools qemu-kvm.x86_64 : QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator qemu-kvm-common.x86_64 : QEMU common files needed by all QEMU targets

    Name and summary matches only, use “search all” for everything.

    Yet when I go to create a new VM with VMM, I get the following error message:

    Warning: KVM is not available. This may mean the KVM package is not installed, or the KVM kernel modules are not loaded. Your virtual machines may perform poorly.

    So it

  • Keith,

    Try modprobe modprobe kvm modprobe kvm_intel

  • Try this:

    yum install qemu-kvm qemu-img virt-manager libvirt libvirt-python python-virtinst libvirt-client

    (all one line)

  • Also, what does this command output:

    uname -r

    Should be something like this:

    [jhughes@T520 ~]$ uname -r
    3.10.0-229.7.2.el7.x86_64

  • Thanks Marcos.

    I tried modprobe kvm and that loaded that kernel module.

    I got an error trying to load the kvm_intel module though.

    Kind Regards,

    Keith

  • Thanks Johnny.

    I tried that and all the packages were installed apart from python-virtinst which yum could not locate.

    Kind Regards,

    Keith

  • That looks good help for me Johnny.

    I will take a look at that sometime next week.

    Kind Regards,

    Keith

  • Keith,

    What error?

    What’s your processor? if it’s AMD, you need modprobe kvm_amd instead of kvm_intel.

  • Keith,

    You should use the user root to load module kvm_intel.

    Best,
