Hi Abhi, Thank you very much, actually I have the following scenario for hypervisor. HDD: 500 GB RAM: 32GB CPU 8 Core @2.9GHz
and each guest vm is HDD: 50GB RAM: +/- 4 GB CPU 1 Core +/-@ 2.0 GHz Maximum 8 guest VM in my server two eth each gigabit I want to run some mysql and membase service which have huge disk I/O So is the server configuration is OK or do i need SAS HDD or something else?

For Xenserver overhead, simple rule of thumb is to allow 512 MB for the XenServer total (Hypervisor plus the control domain) if there is less than 5 GB of memory in the server, and allow 1 GB of memory if there is more than 5 GB in the server. Also you need to decide if you want HA, in that case you will need some redundant hardware. -abhi >-----Original Message----- >From: Jewel Nuruddin [mailto:[email protected]] >Sent: Monday, July 09, 2012 4:27 PM >To: [email protected]; cloudstack- >[email protected] >Cc: [email protected] >Subject: About server hardware > >Hi All, > >Need one comments about server hardware. >In one hypervisor I want to run 8 guest vm, what will be the main hardware I >have to take care properly! >can any one have any thought? > >Thanks >Jewel
