|
||
|
||
What license does the {pve} project use?::
|
||
|
||
{pve} code is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License,
|
||
version 3.
|
||
|
||
Will {pve} run on a 32bit processor?::
|
||
|
||
{pve} works only on 64-bit CPU´s (AMD or Intel). There is no plan
|
||
for 32-bit for the platform.
|
||
+
|
||
NOTE: VMs and Containers can be both 32-bit and/or 64-bit.
|
||
|
||
Does my CPU support virtualization?::
|
||
|
||
To check if your CPU is virtualization compatible, check for the "vmx"
|
||
or "svm" tag in this command output:
|
||
+
|
||
----
|
||
egrep '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo
|
||
----
|
||
|
||
Supported Intel CPUs::
|
||
|
||
64-bit processors with
|
||
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtualization_Technology#Intel_virtualization_.28VT-x.29[Intel
|
||
Virtualization Technology (Intel VT-x)] support. (http://ark.intel.com/search/advanced/?s=t&VTX=true&InstructionSet=64-bit[List of processors with Intel VT and 64-bit])
|
||
|
||
Supported AMD CPUs::
|
||
|
||
64-bit processors with
|
||
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtualization_Technology#AMD_virtualization_.28AMD-V.29[AMD
|
||
Virtualization Technology (AMD-V)] support.
|
||
|
||
What is a container, CT, VE, Virtual Private Server, VPS?::
|
||
|
||
Operating-system-level virtualization is a server-virtualization
|
||
method where the kernel of an operating system allows for multiple
|
||
isolated user-space instances, instead of just one. We call such
|
||
instances containers. As containers share the Kernel they are
|
||
limited to Linux guests.
|
||
|
||
What is a QEMU/KVM guest (or VM)?::
|
||
|
||
A QEMU/KVM guest (or VM) is a guest system running virtualized under
|
||
{pve} using QEMU and the Linux KVM kernel module.
|
||
|
||
What is QEMU?::
|
||
|
||
QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and
|
||
virtualizer. QEMU uses the Linux KVM kernel module to achieve near
|
||
native performance by executing the guest code directly on the host
|
||
CPU.
|
||
It is not limited to Linux guests but allows arbitrary operating systems
|
||
to run.
