    KVM vs XEN

    Everything is looking really positive and stable. I currently have 5 VMs running but I am noticing a lot of Memory allocation and hitting Swap. I have the following, # DB (Centos, Mysql) VCPU: 4 RAM: 4 GB HD: 1 Virtio Disks # Debian (with GUI) VCPU: 2 RAM: 4 GB HD: 1 Virtio Disks # SAN...

    FreeNAS Guest - How to access hard drives

    Hi Everyone, I am running KVM and I am looking to use FreeNAS as one of the guests. I have 2 x SSDs running the guests but the storage is attached as 4 x 1 TB Western Digital blacks. What I would like to do is have the guest run from the SSD and mount the 4 x 1 TB Western Digitial. When...

    KVM vs XEN

    Yeah - just using virt-manager resolved the problem. I have 4 VMs running right now installing and everything is running smoothly, including the fact I have re-created the Debian Squeeze machine.

    KVM vs XEN

    So I have installed a guest via virt-manager and the performance is much better. -- I will need to see what the difference is.

    KVM vs XEN

    Hi Everyone, Some feedback: So I came home and realized actually MobaXTerm can handle X11 forwarding out of the box. So actually it was just a case of installing X11, Loggin into SSH and typing "virt-manager" I noticed the Guest "dev1" was shut off and so I enabled the guest and...

    Nice - I am using MobXterm but I could switch back to putty. I do not have x11 installed on my machine but this is not a major issue either. I will look into XMing. This is very helpful.

    Oh I see, the kickstart - I understand now. Actually IF you can - want to throw me an example of your kickstart?

    KVM vs XEN

    Yeah I will try RAW next. just 200% on such a low class VM seems extreme but I will post my findings. My understanding is that virt-manager is GUI only. I have a headless machine and thus administration is happening on a Windows machine. I do not think virt-manager exists within the Windows...

    KVM vs XEN

    This is sensible - It is what I figure excluding that this issue can happen at anytime regardless of CPU utilization. I.e. I can see the CPU sitting at 0.3% idling almost and and still have issues shutting down the machine. I maybe impatient, I am using virsh list to determine status - I do not...

    KVM vs XEN

    Sorry Dark Shade I really omitted a lot of detail which lead to this confusion. # # My compliments # Your scripts looks great but since I have not referenced kickstart in any of my VM Installs I will need to read up on it. # # My problem # I have two issues, 1: The CPU sits at...

    KVM vs XEN

    That is really helpful, I will need to learn more about "kickstart" but the rest looks great. I believe something is wrong with the configuration - I am not receiving errors but for example, the VMs will not shut down for example. I am using this installation guide, LINK...

    This is the line I used to build the VM, # virt-install --connect qemu:///system --name dev1 --ram 4096 --vcpus 4 --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/dev1.qcow2,format=qcow2,bus=virtio,cache=none --network=bridge:br0,model=virtio --vnc --os-type=linux --os-variant=debiansqueeze --cdrom...

    KVM vs XEN

    Oh for sure I am sure something is wrong on my side - it is not far fetched to throw this into the "miss" configuration pile. I am using LVM [Host/Guests], both in a Centos eviroment (Standard) and within Debian (Setup manually) It is also important to note I am using RAID 1 as well on the...

    Hi Everyone, I am trying to create a development server which was designed to imitate the conditions of our main production servers. # # SPECS # CPU: i7 3770 MEM: Corsair Vengeance 32GB STORAGE: 2 x Samsung Pro in RAID 1 # # WHAT I HAVE DONE SO FAR # *** Fresh install of...
