HP 3PAR RedHat and Oracle Linux Implementation Guide

14 Using Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (KVM/RHEV-H)
The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor (RHEV-H), based on Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM)
technology, can be deployed either as a bare metal hypervisor or as an RHEL hypervisor host. The
KVM hypervisor requires a processor with the Intel-VT or AMD-V virtualization extensions. The RHEL
KVM package is limited to 64-processor cores. A guest OS can be used only on the hypervisor
type that they were created on.
For installation, administration, and OS support by the RHEL KVM, refer to the RHEL virtualization
guide on the following website:
