Some simple question regarding SolusVM with KVM VPS
Posted by bryankewl, 01-19-2016, 01:47 AM I have used OpenVZ VPS for many years, this time I picked a KVM based VPS. In the SolusVM panel I am seeing many new items, which I haven't seen on openVZ. I'll really appreciate if someone explain these to me. I have highlighted the items which I don't know about or confuse me. In the settings tabs, it has APIC ?? No idea what it is, and its turned "ON" by default. ACPI ?? No idea what it is, and its turned "ON" by default. VNC ?? Turned "ON", my guess is that its like serial console to access the VPS, if I locked myself out. So I turned this "OFF". PAE ?? The PAE extension for 32bit OS, as I am using 64 bit, so keeping it off. Network Card (Realtek 8139 / Intel PRO/1000 / virto). Realtek 8139 select by default, so not messing with it. But my guess is that the KVM provides virtual NIC card implementation for the guest OS, and these are different option, so changing it will require specific driver in the guest OS. Disk Driver (ide (default) / virto). Virto is selected by default, while "ide" is default. I think its similar to the network card. Another tab is CDRom, where it has listed many ISOs, so that the virtual ISO/CDRom implementation, and the user can request a different ISO if needed. 4th Tab is Drivers with options (virto win 0.1 100 / virto win 0.1 59 / virto win 0.1.102) and a mount button. And another button Revert to Original CDRom Media. No idea what these options are. Thanks in advance.
