Hello, I'm going to open an official information ticket with RH, but eventually I can get information here too, at least for common usage. I have rh el 6.1 hypervisor.
In "KVM Guest VM compatibility" section, the Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-6-Virtualization-en-US guide contains: The following URL is a complete chart showing supported operating systems and host and guest combinations: http://www.redhat.com/rhel/server/virtualization_support.html#virt_matrix At the link I can see for the RHEL 6 64-bit x86_64 (KVM) hypervisor: Windows 7 32-Bit x86 Optimized (5) and (5) contains: For best performance, the para-virtualized I/O drivers (virtio-win) are required to be installed in the Windows(tm) guests. The drivers are made available as images in the Supplementary channel of the RHEL 5 host OS, please refer to http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-24866 for details. Please see the Microsoft SVVP site for certification details unfortunately the doc seems to apply to RHEV only (that at this moment doesn't support RH EL 6 hypervisors, btw...) On my hypervisor I have virtio-win-1.2.0-1.el6.noarch and it seems the latest available. Under /usr/share/virtio-win/drivers/i386/Win7 # ll total 32 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7750 Apr 26 20:39 viostor.cat -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2554 Apr 26 20:39 viostor.inf -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 19016 Apr 26 20:39 viostor.sys Does this mean that using virtio for network card is not supported in rhel 6? And that I had better not to use win2008 drivers? So in thiscase what would be the better between the available ones: e1000, rtl8139, ne2k_pci, pcnet? Instead in Win2008 folders (both i386 and amd64) I see I have: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7480 Apr 26 20:39 netkvm.cat -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12691 Apr 26 20:39 netkvm.inf -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 71752 Apr 26 20:39 netkvm.sys -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7766 Apr 26 20:39 viostor.cat -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2554 Apr 26 20:39 viostor.inf -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 19016 Apr 26 20:39 viostor.sys Thanks, Gianluca _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
