Re: Paravirtualization

Hi Joy,

It means that you have a host operating system that acts as a controller
for and provides virtual hardware to the "guest" operating systems.

In order for the guest operating systems to be able to run they need to
have modifications made to their kernel to understand the various
instructions that the host gives them via the virtualization software.

HTH,
Harry

Hello all,

"Paravirtualization requires that the guest operating system
running on the host server be modified so that it recognizes the
virtualization software layer"
Here what is the mean of modified guest operating system.


Thanks
