What to test?
Today's installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on Virtualization improvements in Fedora 12. There is a large list of virtualization improvements coming in Fedora. To simplify things, testing will be divided up into the following sections.
General Virt
KVM
libvirt
- Features/libguestfs
- Features/VirtStorageManagement
- Features/Network_Interface_Management
- Features/VirtTCK
- Features/VirtPrivileges
Intel Hardware Enablement
- Features/SR-IOV
- VT-d
If you come to this page after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test with your graphics card and provide feedback.
Who's available
The following cast of characters will be available for testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...

What's needed to test
- A fully updated Fedora 12 Rawhide machine. See instructions below
- Hardware virtualization support (e.g. Intel VT or AMD-V). If unavailable, you can still help with testing QEMU support.
- At least one guest image installed before the test day (suggested reading - Virtualization_Quick_Start)
- Up to 10-20Gb free disk space. Guest images take up a lot of space.
- See test areas below for area specific requirements
