457 | What: Support for VMware's guest paravirtuliazation technique [VMI] will be | ||
458 | dropped. | ||
459 | When: 2.6.37 or earlier. | ||
460 | Why: With the recent innovations in CPU hardware acceleration technologies | ||
461 | from Intel and AMD, VMware ran a few experiments to compare these | ||
462 | techniques to guest paravirtualization technique on VMware's platform. | ||
463 | These hardware assisted virtualization techniques have outperformed the | ||
464 | performance benefits provided by VMI in most of the workloads. VMware | ||
465 | expects that these hardware features will be ubiquitous in a couple of | ||
466 | years, as a result, VMware has started a phased retirement of this | ||
467 | feature from the hypervisor. We will be removing this feature from the | ||
468 | Kernel too. Right now we are targeting 2.6.37 but can retire earlier if | ||
469 | technical reasons (read opportunity to remove major chunk of pvops) | ||
470 | arise. | ||
471 | |||
472 | Please note that VMI has always been an optimization and non-VMI kernels | ||
473 | still work fine on VMware's platform. | ||
474 | Latest versions of VMware's product which support VMI are, | ||
475 | Workstation 7.0 and VSphere 4.0 on ESX side, future maintainence | ||
476 | releases for these products will continue supporting VMI. | ||
477 | |||
478 | For more details about VMI retirement take a look at this, | ||
