About KVM - Virtual Machine

Hi folks,

KVM
Virtual Machine

Please help me to understand

"run virtual machine as a daemon, you can use "-nographic" and "-daemonize" in kvm argument"

which I just came across on Internet.  What is it?  What will be its application.  TIA

Re: About KVM - Virtual Machine

you can start kvm from commandline on a system without an X Server (for example a headless server)
You can then connect with for example ssh to the virtual guest.
Useful for example for running various server applications on the guest.

Hi gernonimo,

Thanks for your advice.

I finished testing KVM, Qemu, OpenVZ and VServer.  It is quite interesting running hundreds of servers as daemon on the same pc.  It is esay creating another daemon just duplicating a running daemon and then changing some config e.g ip, hostname, etc.  What I haven't figured out is allowing all daemons sharing ONE external/public IP on name base doing the same job.  Apache has no problem similar to virtual host.

I'll move on to Xen
