Hi,
I'm searching for "virtualization options". I already take a
look on
VMware, but it needs too much MS software to work for my needs. Citrix needs
less, but the key validation is still MS-AD.
Now I'm taking a look at RHEV... and run into Oracle VM! Somebody had
already
take a look at Oracle VM?
We need in primary a solid VM solution for an "enterprise cloud"
running
on top of some old and new Dell servers in conjunction with an EMC Cx4-120
storage.
We had plans to provide "desktop virtualization" in the future,
most to
labs class, and maybe adminstrative tasks. But it isn't necessary now.
Anybody had some other options to tell?
Thanks in advance,
Antonio.

I actually couple this to Red Hat's cluster suite and Linbit's DRBD to make the VMs highly available. I've got this setup in production in several locations around north america going back to when 6.0 was released, and it's been fantastic.

Might be worth looking at openstack, too, it's all the rage these days. It is also using kvm and libvirt. -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology! Nux! www.nux.ro

But yeah it's not 100% MS free. -- To dream and to write ^^ http://mars.arinet.org
Hi folks,
Thanks for your advices, I'll take a look on all and post what I conclude
on
it.
Maybe I'm not clear enought, I already had CentOS5.8 Xen on my Hosts, but
I'm
finding a solution more "enterprise". The HA/Load Balance solution we
had are self
made, it is much time consuming for our needs. We are searching for something
more
easy (or self) administering software.
This is why we take a look on VMware, Citrix, etc...
We'll take a look on OpenStack, RHEV/RHEM, maybe Oracle VM...
Thanks,
Antonio.

I'll take a look on this... I'm thinking a "cloud" will be a bit overkilling for our applications :D We had only a dozen hosts with aprox. 100 VMs (linux, windows) on it. But, today, almos everything is a "cloud" :D I already read the manuals of Eucaliptus and OpenStack, will take a look on OpenNebula, too... I'm thinking that we will have a "cloud" when we can use VDI to virtualize our desktop labs :D For now we are searching a way to automatize the management of our VMs, but without all of the lights, rings, and bells most of the cloud softwares had :D Our installation is prety simple: all hosts share some LUNs from the Storage (via iSCSI). We had cLVM on it. The VMs had their own LVM partition. And we had a couple o C and bash programs that do the magic. But, to deploy a new VM is almos the same as deploy a physical host. No snaphsot (cLVM didn't had it working), and no clone (it almost kills the SAN net). This is why we are searching for something else! VMware and Citrix made some demonstrations for our boss, but both needs MS-AD. Then we are searching for other options :D We already had talks with RH, thanks Jim Wildman, and well we aren't in a touristic area either :D Well... we are still searching :D Thanks, Antonio. -- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Antonio S.
