Virtualization WIN 2008
I have a machine with 2*Xeon 2.66, 16GB Ram, 146GB Raid 1, 292GB Raid 10.
This machine will be used to run Mysql (32bits or 64bits) and MDaemon (32bits only).
I have 2 options to choose and I'm not pretty sure which is better.
a) Win 2008 32bits Enterprize using PAE for ram support and running Mdaemon 32 and Mysql 32.
b) Win 2008 64bits standard having virtualized a win 2008 64 bits for Mysql 64 and a win 2008 32 bits for MDaemon 32.

Win Server 2008 To WinXP File Sharing
I just setup my new Windows 2008 Server. My backed up files are on a Win XP machine. Now, I've tried everything I can think of to connect the two so I can transfer them over. But I can't. Neither machine can see the other, but they are on the same subnet and workgroup. No changes I make to sharing on either machine seems to work.

Slow Transfer Speeds Between Two Win 2008 Servers
I have two servers running windows 2008(rtm) and I'm getting just crappy transfer speeds between them. server 1: dual xeon quad core 8gb ram dynamic mirrored disks (windows software raid, ick i know hyper-V, 6 or so VMs, not real heavy load server 2: dual xeon quad core 8gb ram 3ware 9650Se raid card, raid1 (using latest engineering drivers/firmware) The servers are connected to each other via gigabit crossover. When I start to do a file transfer (a 40gb virtual machine, through windows file sharing) it starts fast. 60+MB/s says 12minutes remain but after 5minutes and 5gb or so of transfer it's slowed way down to 7MB/s and the network usage graph that was smooth and is now choppy.

The server i am using is DIY and there is no assiatance if I am stuck I am using external DNS server and I am looking to host my site as I am doing now on my home lean and mean win xp.

Virtualization Platform
In another thread somebody had mentioned something about Citrix Xenserver utilizing shared iSCSI storage with multiple hardware nodes. I think this is a very intriguing concept, but is there anything open source or less expensive that you have used to accomplish similar resource virtualization? Whether citrix or not, describe your setup!

Which Virtualization For Desktop
This is a little bit Offtopic here but maybe it's okay to ask my question. For my GUI software development i need a virtual server solution. It must run WinXP, WinVista, LinuxI386, LinuxAMD64, FreeBSDI386, FreeBSDAMD64 and Solaris. I'm currently running VMWare with all this systems. But their KVM tools are very instable - especially when waking up from hibernate etc. They eat the key/mouse focus and the only way to get any reaction is often a hard shutdown. How good are the other Virtualization Kits? I heared that FreeBSD does not work on VirtualBox? I'm especially interested in Xen but i'm not sure if this is good for Desktop use. Seems that it is promoted almost exclusively as a server solution.

Apache X Virtualization
We usually find some constrains using Apache/cpanel (1.3.41). Basically, we serve simple php codes and few images. We usually setup our server to use lighttpd for static content and apache for dynamic content. Ok, due to some complex requirements on mod_rewrite we use that setup. But frequently we see our apache reaches it limit and slow down with 0 idle servers. Specially as we have about 270 requests/per second on apache. Our load is low, barely passes 1,2 of load for small periods, our memory ok, our I/O is fine. But we almost always reaches the 0 idle servers. Until now, our best config was: Timeout between 60-120 KeepAlive Off MaxKeepAliveRequests 1000 KeepAliveTimeout 15 MinSpareServers 50 MaxSpareServers 200 StartServers 50 MaxClients 256 MaxRequestsPerChild 80 As we clearly see that our server is under usage, I was wondering if it's a limitation on Apache or if I put virtualization on my server and run two apache webservers as cluster I would get better results. So what do you think about guys? It's a matter of optimization (what could I do better for this httpd.conf setup?) ? Or cluster with virtualization would deliver what I'm looking for.

Which Virtualization Technology
I have tried to search but couldn't find the information I was looking for. We are starting to offer VPS and considering MS Virtual Server and vmWare. vmWare seems rock solid and feature rich. Which virtualization technology you are using? Is vmWare a good platform for vps for hosting industry?

To Do Virtualization Inside VPS
I have this nice vps, but its on linux, and I always wanted to run windows apps on the vps, because of the nice configuration. I already tried wine, but most of my windows apps don't work, cuz they require .net framework to run. I tried to instal vmware server and virtualbox, but both of them complain about a kernel problem, they are unable to locate my kernel source, so they can't run. I am linux newbie, and i am running on a centos 5 operating system. Some people say its impossible to run virtualization 'inside' virtualization, but i already read some people that say its possible.

Microsoft Licensing For Virtualization
Microsoft said this about Microsoft Licensing for Virtualization Windows Server 2008 Datacenter Run any number of software instances in physical and virtual operating system environments on a server. Now,I have some questions: 1)Is this method of licensing just for hyper-v or we can use it on vmware ESXi or Xen? 2)How we can use Microsoft Volume Licensing on Vmware ESXi and Xen? 3)What is the best solution for windows virtualization?(vmware esxi or hyper-v or xen) 4)what is difference between xen and xenserver? 5)which control panels we can use for hyper-v,vmware ESXi and xenserver?

Virtual Iron Virtualization
Basically I need to virtualize a single new dell server. One virtual server needs to run windows 2003 server standard and Microsoft SQL 2005. The other virtual server will run CentOS Linux with a perl and PostgreSQL application. The dell server is going to have two quad core xeon processors (8 cores total), 8gigs of ram, and two 15,000rpm SAS drives. I came across Virutal Iron which is free for the single server instance and seems like it will do the job well. Has anybody used it? What is performance like? Seems to run a Java backend so wondering about the performance there. Any other recommendations? I looked at VMware but the cost is so high, and probably more then I need, since I only need to virtualize a single server.

Virtualization Solution? VMware, Virtuozzo, Xen..?
I'm running a dedicated server and the main site on the server relies on Windows OS. The site is not fully utilizing the potential of the dedicated server, so I'd like to put some of my other sites on the same server and eliminate the other (shared) hosting I've been using. Here's the catch... For the other sites, I'd like to run WHM/Cpanel which requires Linux. If I understand correctly, this leaves me with having to decide on a virtualization solution, which I know nothing about. Some options I have been given are VMware, Virtuozzo, and Xen. Would you suggest one of these or a different solution entirely?

Virtualization --48Gb @ 1333Mhz Or 72GB @ 800Mhz
So when buying nehalem servers, if you populate 6 rdimms, you can run at 1333Mhz, if you populate 18 rdimms, 800 Mhz (12 rdimms, 1066mhz) So what do you do for virtualization? the reality is most of the time 48gb is going to be enough for virtualization (that would run 12 4GB servers or 32 2GB servers) and i think at 64gb or more, CPU starts to become a limting factor, but the price of 48GB @ 1333 is slightly more than 72GB @ 800. So what are you guys doing out there? do you go for the performance or do you go with the overkill of memory (that might sometimes come in handy but you probably wont use it all -- more likely just give your VMs more memory for the fun it)? The problem is the 1333 Mhz vs 800 Mhz performance. Our current environment is a bunch of 16GB servers (50xx chip) and the limitation on us virtualizating more per host is the memory. So I know 48GB is going to be very much welcomed and I think we could use more.. 64gb would be ideal, but we will be happy with 48@1333, but 72GB sounds interesting too, there might be some scenarios where we could use that 72GB although i think performance will shift from memory limitation now to CPU Do you think if we buy 800Mhz 72gb we will ever look back and think "wish we bought the 48gb 1333 rdimms and not these 800mhz ones"?

Virtualization Vmware And Dos & Syn Attack
How will VMware ESX Servers handle a dos, ddos or syn attacks? Will it compleatly crash all VM running on the server just becouse one VM and its ip interface is attacked and make file systems monted on a san or nas to be corrupt becouse of the traffic on the local network will be downgraded becouse of all packets that passes to the VM:? Does vmware have some protection tools for this kind o attacks or does this kind of virutalization only work in a an lan that is protected from Internet? Will 2 dedicated nic solve this?

I Have Lots Of Bandwidth, But My Host Is Slow - Should I Pay For Virtualization
I use a host that gives me way more bandwidth and space than I need, but it is still super slow. It's Dreamhost who is known for charging very low fees and promising the world. Although my sites do load and I get unlimited everything pretty much, I can't stand the slow loads. They have offered me virtualization of my server so I can create my own virtual server with 150Mhz and 150MB of dedicated CPU/memory for $15 more a month... do you think that will speed me up a lot or should I just suck it up and pay for a better host that doesn't pimp themselves out so badly?

Virtualization - Enterprise Installs? VMWare, Xen, Virtual Iron?
A company i am working with is looking to install a VMWare setup comprising of something like this : 6x Dual Proc Quad Core Nodes with 16GB RAM 2x Clustered iSCSN SAN Nodes I am intending on purchasing the full suite including DRS/HA/VMotion. Now this is all well and good but the software pricing is absolutely horrendous! So my question to you chaps is : Is anyone using the latest Virtual Iron or Xen Enterprise in a high end environment? Obviously VMWare is the market leader, the big boys are using it and its something you can bank on. (literally! HSBC use it ALOT!) Is it even worth looking at VI/Xen for something like this? The cost would be like a quarter of the total cost of a VMWare license.

McAfee On Win Server Has Taken Over
On a Windows server, VirusScan Enterprise suddenly started blocking e-mails from web sites. I check and find the "prevent mass mailing worms from sending e-mails". OK, i edit the rule and add php-cgi.exe to the list. After some time, when of course we have lost some clients' e-mails, it reverts to blocking php... Then I disable the rule and again after some time it reverts to block... This is on going, I have stopped access protection for the time being till I find out how to convince it that it has to keep the settings I setup!

Win/MSSQL Hosting
what level of hardware/hosting plan I need for one of my clients. Current stats: ~65 ecommerce orders per week ~5000 unique visitors per day Requirements: Win2k3 ASP.NET 3.5 MSSQL 2005 My first recommendation to them was RackSpace due their good reputation, but they were not able to pay for the plan suggested to them by RackSpace. My other question is what type of plan do you guys recommend based on the above stats/requirements (managed/VPS/dedicated/etc.)? VPS is what came to mind for me since we'll probably end up using this setup for more than one website/domain and since they are so price sensitive. I'm fairly comfortable setting up and administering Win2k3 and MSSQL. I'm sure that plays into the choices a little. I know there is probably some information I have left out that would help you guys make a recommendation. Please just let me know what else would help.

Administrating Win 2003 Server
if there are any major differences between administrating a standard networked Win 2003 server, like SBS for example, compared to a 2003 server to be used for webhosting? I'm fairly nifty on 2003 and have a colleague is is well clued up on it and Windows may be an option as an additional server for us other than linux so wanted to look into the support aspect of using it.

Things Not To Install On Win Virtuozzo
I think it sad on one hand..many hosts complain about users crashing/causing problems for other users on the node they are on..yet..this topic has never been covered to my knowledge. I can fix that. OK..the most important thing is to *NOT* try and install windows updates from Microsoft. I have heard of it crashing the entire node. Do not run Windows update either. These updates come from sw-soft and will be installed by your host. nothing for you to do here. OK...here's the list so far of what else not to install: 1) Hard drive encryption software 2) True RRAS VPN access software 3) Antivirus software 4) Virtual NIC software 5) Virtual Drive software By all means..if you have any additions to this list..

Changing Package (Win To Linux) Without Downtime
I'm using Earthlink to host a website, but I think this question is valid for any host. If you have a hosting account that's on a windows server/MS Windows based and want to switch to a Linux/Unix server account, how would you do this without any downtime? I assume when they switch the account, all DNS related entries have to be updated so you won't be able to reach the website for a day or so.

Paging File Win 2003 Standard
What setup would be right (as far as paging file goes) for running game servers on a dedicated box. Specs core2duo 2ghz 2 GB RAM 300Gb HD Windows Server 2003 Standard Right now it says it has 1512 MB allocated for the paging file. Just seems to me that programs would run better with a smaller paging file. This is my first Windows server i have always used unix for a dedicated box so i dont have a clue how these settings such as page file affects a server.
