Infiniband storage network using SRP
Hi, I'd like a "howto" on configuring SRP initiators and targets. I'm using Centos/Xen hypervisors and will build my own storage servers. I'm using Infiniband cards with Mellanox MT25408 chipset. I'm familiar with Linux but unsure of exactly what I need to get this up and running. I dont want to...

Making Virtualized Physical Resources Portable
Suppose I have a datacenter with a number of vitualization and cloud-based solutions running at the same time - KVM, VMware, Xen, etc. all of which have type 1 hypervizors and demand the undivided resources of a single physical server. How can I port physical servers from one environment to...

VNC in Xen
I've installed Debian and Xen, Xen utils and tools. I've set up a VM but I can't connect via VNC. Before that I was able to connect to vnc with Debian + gnome, but to reduce resources I reinstalled the same debian but without any X component (but using the same Xen configuration. Is there any way...

How to best consolidate 5 or 6 physical PC servers into one and save on total cost?
For typically small (departmental) environments consisting of 5 physical PC servers (more or less) running departmental applications, what would be the best server consolidation approach ? Do we use server virtualization ? Do we use SAN or NAS ? Would VMWare or Citrix Xen be best suited for this?...

VMWare or Xen?
I want to construct a small private cloud with the following configuration: Servers: commodity 1Us as far as possible. Running almost exclusively Linux/Apache to serve web pages. A few Windows machines in a cluster running SQL server. Three Linux machines in a cluster running Vertica. Multiple...

Obtaining IP address in Xen
After finally got XEN working, the part I've been struggling the most with is finding a way to get XM to report the IP address of the virtual machine it started up. The VM was in DHCP mode. I'm guessing I could find this out using dhcpd logs (by looking up the mac address), but I'm not sure if...

Can we manage machines with Xen as their hypervisor on System Center?
We have a few machines that are running that are using (free) Xen as their hypervisor - can those be managed?

Comparison: VMware ESX, Virtual Iron, Xen Enterprise
Can anyone tell me comparisons/provide links to comparison articles on VMware ESX, Xen Enterprise and Virtual Iron? Not just performance but features? Thanks!

Packing and Unpacking Xen tarballs
Using vmware I have a generic machine file that I use to quickly stand up a vm then customize as I need. It's a tgz that I use and occasionally unpack and patch to keep the OS on the generic vm up to date. I'm looking to be able to do that with Xen, but I'm not sure what files I need to...

Migrating Xen virtual machines to KVM
If you're running virtual environments on Linux, have you recently migrated from Xen to KVM (kernel-based virtual machines)? If so, what issues/problems did you encounter -- if any -- and how did you solve them?

Virtualization Xen and VMware combined
Arre there ways to combine VMW and Xen on single x86 socket multicore processor, whereby Xen and VMW are assigned for eg 2 cores each? Will this be feasible with Nehalm having multiple memory buses?

Saving power in a Xen environment

Virtualization Product Choices
I will be setting up my new system in a couple of weeks. I'll be running CentOS 5 on a quad core AMD Opteron. I'm going to run Windows XP as a guest OS, and possibly 1 or more Linux distros. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am currently considering Xen or Virtualbox, leaning towards Xen.

THe product we support (Citrix XenServer) supports either for backend virtual system storage and can run VM's from either. Currently, our needs are small. We have about 10 virtual servers that...
