Not sure, might work. try with vmware player/server and KVM on a 64 bit OS with full virtualization. But might have reliability issues, not recommended for production use. Can you please let me know the hardware specification?

In my opinion it is not a good idea to run both in the same machine. You could convert the vmware images to raw format and use it with KVM, or the other way around.

I have a doubt regarding virtualisation.can i use VMware and KVM in a single host? will it work without any problems?

Thanks,
Surya

Hi Yogesh,
Yes you can convert the vmware images(VMDK) from a windows host as well, Bonding is used if you have multiple network interfaces doing failover/loadbalancing etc. It will simply work with bridging or nating on a single interface. Instead of creating bridge with bond interface, do it with the physical interface (like eth0 or eth1).
$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0

DEVICE=br0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Bridge
IPADDR=11.11.11.11
NETMASK=255.0.0.0
GATEWAY=1.1.1.1

– Configure the physical interface:
$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

DEVICE=eth0
BRIDGE=br0
ONBOOT=yes

./arun

Thanks for nice explanation. Does it also apply to VMWare guest images of Windows XP (x86) on Windows-7 (x64) host installation? Whats the purpose of the bonding? Under single NIC can one use NAT instead of bridging?

Thanks,
Yogesh
