[OmniOS-discuss] newbie virtualisation question

[Michael Mounteney]

I'd like to try a bit of virtualisation.  So:

	root at world:~# qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm
	open /dev/kvm: No such file or directory
	failed to initialize KVM: Not owner

Not a good start.  Make sure the bits are installed:

	root at world:~# pkg list kvm
	NAME (PUBLISHER)                                  VERSION                    IFO
	driver/virtualization/kvm                         1.0.3-0.151005             i--
	system/kvm                                        1.0.3-0.151005             i--

The machine is a Sun Fire X2250 which has an Intel Xeon E5405 CPU, which according to http://ark.intel.com/Products/VirtualizationTechnology does the necessary VT architecture.  So what is required to create /dev/kvm ?
