| === Virtualization Release Notes F11 ===
| | '''Release Notes Scratchpad Pages''' |
| For the moment, I have [[User:Dale/Drafts/F10_Virtualization_Release_Notes| copied the F10_Virtualization_Release_Notes]] for use in construction the [[Docs/Beats/Virtualization | F11 notes]].
| |
| | |
| Preliminary [http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-11/f-11-docs-tasks.html Schedule]:
| |
| * Prepare Alpha Release Notes (1 page) Mon 2009-02-02 Tue 2009-02-03
| |
| * Post Final Alpha Release Notes Tue 2009-02-03 Tue 2009-02-03
| |
| * Prepare Beta Release Notes (1 page) Mon 2009-03-23 Mon 2009-03-23
| |
| * Post Beta Release Notes One-Page Mon 2009-03-23 Mon 2009-03-23
| |
| | |
| ==== Todo ====
| |
| * "One thing that's missing is a "new features and improvements" for KVM - both the kvm package, and the kvm support in the kernel." <ref>https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-virt/2009-February/msg00009.html</ref>
| |
| * Go over changelogs of pkgs and pick out notable diffs from F10 release ver to F11 ver.

| * Quick hack to gather info for table above
| | For each release I begin by gathering all the info on features and updates I can, and place it on the following pages before moving it to the public [[Docs/Beats/Virtualization | release notes beat]] page. |
| <pre>
| |
| #!/bin/bash

| |
| notes=`echo $line | awk '{print $2}'`
| |
| ver=`koji latest-pkg "$dist" "$pkg" | tail -1 | awk '{print $1}'`

| On a F8 dom0. Installing F9 domU pulls kernel from releases/9/Fedora/x86_64/os/images/xen/vmlinuz this does not exist on F10 and thus creation fails. The version of {{package|python-virtinst}} on F8 does not know the kernel path changed. Try this test version and give it some positive karma if it works for you.

| | '''Previous Fedora Virtualization Release Notes:''' |
| As seen in [[FWN/Issue152#Using_VirtIO_Network_Driver_for_Windows_KVM_Guest|

| FWN#152]]. The {{package|virt-manager}} GUI doesn't have the knobs in the UI yet to
| |
| enable [http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Virtio virtio] drivers. THe {{package|libvirt}} framework underneath does support it, so it can be done by hand. Here's how.
| |
|
| |
|
| * [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=180599 Download] the drivers to guest and extract on desktop.

| * Shutdown the guest <code>virsh shutdown winxp</code>
| | [http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Release_Notes/sect-Release_Notes-Virtualization.html F13], |
| * Dump the libvirt XML <code>virsh dumpxml winxp > winxp-before.xml</code>, and change the network settings. To the <code><interface></code> block add <code><model type='virtio'/></code> like this:
