Paravirtualization dramatically increases the performance of your virtual machines. A paravirtualized system gives you access to up to 95% of your virtual machine's computing power by forcing the operating system and hypervisor to work together more efficiently. It does this by opening additional channels of communication between the Xen and KVM hypervisors in SUSE Linux Enterprise and the unmodified guest operating systems running in a virtual environment, thus accelerating network and storage input/output and improving overall efficiency. The paravirtualized drivers in the SUSE Virtual Machine Driver Pack deliver the performance benefits of paravirtualization, with the wider availability of full virtualization.
Key FeaturesThe SUSE Linux Enterprise Virtual Machine Driver Pack is a fee-based bundle of paravirtualized disk, network and balloon drivers. It allows customers to run fully-virtualized Windows workloads on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server with near-native performance. It does this by opening additional channels of communication between the Xen and KVM hypervisors in SUSE Linux Enterprise and the unmodified guest operating systems running in a virtual environment, thus accelerating network and storage input/output and improving overall efficiency.
The driver pack contains 32-bit and 64-bit paravirtualized disk, network, and balloon drivers. Refer to https://www.suse.com/products/vmdriverpack/features/platform-support/ for a list of supported platforms. The Driver Pack also contains an installation wizard, documentation and an End User License Agreement (EULA). The Driver Pack is only available electronically. Customers purchasing the Driver Pack will receive an email directing them to a secure site where they can download the bundle.
No. Paravirtualized drivers for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server are available, but not included in this Driver Pack. We distribute those drivers under an open source license and include them in both physical and electronic media of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and corresponding SUSE Customer Center update channels. Customers with a valid SUSE Linux Enterprise Server subscription are automatically entitled to maintenance and support for these paravirtualized drivers. The support terms and conditions for the drivers are inherited from the customer's underlying SUSE Linux Enterprise Server subscription.
Purchasing the Driver Pack entitles you to maintenance and technical support (installation and break/fix) for the paravirtualized drivers contained in the Driver Pack. The support terms and conditions are inherited from the underlying SUSE Linux Enterprise Server subscription used to host the virtual servers. You must have a valid SUSE Linux Enterprise Server subscription to receive support for these paravirtualized drivers. They are not supported in any host environment other than SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. The minimum Xen version supported is 3.2, and minimum KVM version supported is 0.12. Purchasing the Driver Pack without a valid SUSE Linux Enterprise Server subscription does not entitle customers to support for the paravirtualized drivers.
The paravirtualized drivers in the Virtual Machine Driver Pack extend the useful life of your legacy and custom applications that are only supported on older operating systems.
SUSE Linux Enterprise Virtual Machine Driver Pack contains 32-bit and 64-bit paravirtualized disk, network and balloon drivers for a wide variety of platforms.
The SUSE Linux Enterprise Virtual Machine Driver Pack gives you greater flexibility and control over Windows guest OSs in both Xen and KVM-based host environments.
