Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager discovers KVM virtual machines on the Linux host if the KVM modules are installed, and configured. Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager discovers basic information about only running virtual machines. For example, virtual machine name, CPU, and so on. Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager uses virsh commands to discover KVM-related information.

Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) discovery pre-requisites are as follows:

VRTSsfmh package must be present on the Linux host.
KVM modules must be installed and configured.

Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) discovery limitations are as follows:

Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager discovers only running virtual machines.
Exported storage discovery, and storage correlation is not supported.
