About this task

This shows commands to check the QEMU version and install QEMU.
Note: QEMU is not dependent on changes in the Napatech driver, DPDK, or OVS, therefore does not require updating when those components are updated.

Procedure

  1. Check the version. 
    qemu-system-x86_64 --version
    Or
    /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm --version
  2. Install QEMU if QEMU is not installed. 
    dnf install qemu-kvm
