Virt-ception: we've got to go deeper

2013-04-11 20:45:00

I'm currently studying for my RHCSA certification. As part of the exam I will need to work with KVM virtual machines, which require a proper piece of hardware to run on.

Sadly I haven't been able to boot CentOS off a USB drive on my Macbook, despite numerous attempts. I've had a number of great tutorials, but no dice. Luckily my colleague Peter (not the one of the iMac) came to the rescue! He runs a sandbox system at home, which is a great playground to study for the RHCSA. He gave me an account and permissions to fiddle with KVM. 

Which is what landed me with the screenshot above. That's:

• Mac OS 10.7 running on my Macbook (A)
• ... running CentOS in Parallels Workstation (B)
• ... running Virtual Machine Manager connected to Peter's server (C)
• ... running a CentOS virtual machine (D).
