- Virtualization is a broad computing term used for running software, usually multiple operating systems, concurrently and in isolation from other programs on a single system. Most existing implementations of virtualization use a <firstterm>hypervisor</firstterm>, a software layer or subsystem that controls hardware and provides <firstterm>guest</firstterm> operating systems with access to underlying hardware. The hypervisor allows multiple operating systems, called <firstterm>guests</firstterm>, to run on the same physical system by offering virtualized hardware to the guest operating system. There are various methods for virtualizing operating systems:

Shared, networked storage must be used for storing guest images to be migrated. Without shared storage, migration is not possible. It is recommended to use <application>libvirt</application>-managed storage pools for shared storage.
