[Qemu-devel] QEMU/KQEMU for server consolidation?

[Leigh Dyer]

Hi all,

I've been using QEMU and KQEMU quite happily to run Linux and Windows 
guests on my Linux desktop PC for quite some time now, but I'm wondering 
if anyone has ever used QEMU for running a Windows server OS on a Linux 
server. Specifically, I need a Windows 2000 Server install running with 
SQL Server 7 for a project, but I'd rather not dedicate a full machine 
to it.

Has anyone tried something like this before? QEMU will be running on a 
server, so I figured that the VNC X server would be a good option for 
the GUI, but if anyone has a better idea I'd love to hear it. Also, are 
there any issues running KQEMU on an SMP kernel?

Thanks
Leigh
