Hi -- I''m just a little nervous about deploying my Xen VMs. Will they perform when in actual production? How stable is Xen, really? So, I thought I would do some stress testing before deploying it. I''d like to test VMs running various services, alone and all together... DNS, HTTP/S, Tomcat, IMAP/SMTPD. Does anyone here have suggestions for load generating software? Or, has anyone done this already? Liam The system is a Dell 2950 with 2 x Xeon 2.66GHz CPU''s, RAID 5. Dom0 and all DomU''s are CentoOS 5 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5xen. Xen version is 3.03. -- Liam Kirsher PGP: http://liam.numenet.com/pgp/ _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
