Dear experts, It may not be SL specific, but I am sure there are a lot of experts here. Have you had a good experience with KVM in the latest SL5.4? Is it production-worthy?
I have the following issues: 1. Boot is only possible from ide bus, and drives are named hda. It seems this is a feature of KVM? 2. Virtual machine can not use more than 1 host core, even if 2 virtual cpus are configured for it. 3. some times virtual machines lock up and go into a cpu curning loop, consuming 100% of a host core. The solution is to kill qemu process. 4. virt-manager crashes shortly after first start up and few operations. Subsequent restart of virt-manager doesn't lead to more crashes.. 5. It's slow, presumably because of disk operations. I see some 5MB/s max read/write. I run a qemu native image format, stored on gpfs. My host system has all latest kernels and patches. Thanks in advance, Artem.
