Supported Operations in the KVMHost

6.1.3 Supported Operations in the KVMHost

Manually modifying the KVM host can result in configuration issues, which can degrade performance or cause a loss of service.

Caution:

Oracle does not support any changes that are made to the KVM host beyond what is documented. Third-party applications can be installed on the KVM host and guests, but if there are issues with the Oracle software, then Oracle Support Services may request the removal of the third-party software while troubleshooting the cause.

Starting with Oracle Exachk version 24.10, Exachk highlights system modules that taint the Linux kernel.

If you are in doubt whether an operation on the KVM host is supported, contact Oracle Support Services.
