does KVM has the same tool like vmware tools?

VMWARE has vmtools to enhance VM performance. Does KVM has the same tool to enhance its VM?

If so, how to install such tools? thanks for any input!


Solution 1:

Yes, vmware tools provide paravirtualization support to the guest operating system. The equivalent for KVM is virtio. Drivers are available for linux and windows: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Virtio
