[[!meta title="Linux Virtual Machines (overview)"]]
This document is ***WORK IN PROGRESS***
## Introduction
This article tries to summarise Linux Virtual Machine
methods and is in its early stage.
## Raw import of notes
The following notes I made some months ago, which will
be the basis for this article.
Try all of them and handle them via creature!
status
------
eth: ip addresses / mac / dhcp
vmware
-------
different host os
lxc
---
Not completly isolated. Linux only. Many changes to the guest os.
Some scripts existent (lxc-debian, lxc-fedora). The latter does
not work on debian.
lxc-debian mit cache (schlau)
no real hypervisor existent.
mac / ipv4 management missing => creature
adjust init. change dev. do not run udev (why?)
Root open in the filesystem. Nice. Quota?
Ressources are shared, if nothing else is specified.
=> network = all!
First installation - than virtualisation!
openvz
------
templates
/vz/template/osname/osversion/vz-addons/
http://wiki.openvz.org/Introduction_to_virtualization
vserver
-------
http://linux-vserver.org/
virtualbox
----------
xen
---
different host kernel
kvm
---
mac address,
ip address => dhcp???
user-mode-linux
---------------
libvirt
-------
broken many many times.
Bootstrapping
-------------
how tos
different methods
which way for which vm-type
Network
-------
Always dhcp? Either on the vm-host or external.
Reason: Easy to configure. Scales dynamically.
How to handle bridges etc.? Independent of the os?
Reuse OS
