The Ubuntu Hypervisor stack consists of qemu-kvm and libvirt at its core. QEMU provides the userspace emulation, KVM provides the kernel acceleration, and libvirt provides an abstraction layer for applications to interface with various hypervisors at an API level.

This page is dedicated to enumerating and tracking the testing of some of the basic and advanced features of this hypervisor stack.

For basic documentation, see:

Results

QEMU Feature: Serial Console

  • Command line: 

    kvm -serial stdio

  • Additional setup: Add console=ttyS0 to the kernel boot parameter

  • Result: Serial console input/output is on stdio of the shell that launched the VM

QEMU Feature: VNC

  • Command line: 

    kvm -vnc :1

  • Additional setup: Run vncviewer :1 from another command prompt

  • Result: VM's graphical display should be in a VNC window, rather than SDL
