CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) — Question 235

A Linux administrator intends to start using KVM on a Linux server. Which of the following commands will allow the administrator to load the KVM module as well as any related dependencies?

Answer options

• A. modprobe kvm
• B. insmod kvm
• C. depmod kvm
• D. hotplug kvm

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct command is 'modprobe kvm' because it loads the specified module along with its dependencies. The 'insmod' command only inserts a single module without resolving dependencies, while 'depmod' is used for generating module dependency files and 'hotplug' is not a relevant command for loading kernel modules.
