A fair amount of host tools need to run kvm-test. Requirements: * Host needs to have Intel/AMD Virtualization hardware support. * Capable of building kvm releases * Functioning vncserver New software requirements - (software you probably don't have) * gtk-vnc 1. hg clone http://gtk-vnc.sourceforge.net/hg/aliguori.hg 2. ./autogen.sh (you'll likely need to install a bunch of dev libraries) 3. make 4. make install If you don't already have kvm modules installed and loaded, look at running with the external module build control file: % bin/autotest test/kvmtest/control.with_modbuild This control file will attempt to pull down a recent snapshot from the kvm nightly repo, build, install and load kvm modules before running kvmtest. After running once with the modbuild control file, you can just run the regular control. % bin/autotest test/kvmtest/control.testdir If you do not have any kvm-test test created you will need to do so. Check out the wiki (http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/KVMTest) for instructions on how to create your own tests.
