This addon provides a driver to add the IBM PowerKVM hypervizor to OpenNebula. PowerKVM basically provides the same functionality as kvm but for the PPC platform. It could reuse the KVM driver actions but we want to cleanly distinguish between the two types to make sure kvm vm does not accidently end on a powerkvm node or vice versa.

The driver installation is based on the Xen driver written by:
- Héctor San Juan
- OpenNebula Core Team
- Extend the hypervisors supported by OpenNebula with PowerKVM
This add-on is compatible with:
| OpenNebula Version |
|---|
| 5.2 |
| 5.4 |
To install this add-on, clone it and run install.sh:
sudo ./install.sh -u oneadmin -g oneadmin
You wil need to add the following to /etc/one/oned.conf: oned.conf for PowerKVM
This driver can be used in the same way as you use the standard kvm driver.
/etc/one/vmm_exec/vmm_exec_powerkvm.conf: Defines the default values for VM templates:credit,os [kernel,initrd,root,kernel_cmd,hvm],vcpu,features [acpi, pae, apic, device_model, localtime],disk[driver],nic[model]andraw.
