Hi!

I want to put one of my Opteron boxes to better use and have it run a bunch of virtual machines. Each VM will have a specific job.

I am under the impression that Fedora 17 x86_64 might be the best choice of virtual machine host, and I have this distro installed under cobbler. I also have CentOS 6.2 x86_64 installed as a cobbler distro, and I could use that as a host as well. Or I could get some other OS and install that into cobbler as a distro.

With that understanding, I think my game plan is supposed to run like this:

1. First I install my virtual machine host with cobbler. I just craft a kickstart that installs Fedora 17 to the machine that will run all the VMs. The kickstart file that cobbler will use doesn't need to be fancy. I only need to install the @base and @Virtualization package groups. I shouldn't even need X.

2. Then install each of the virtual machine guests one by one using koan. Each of these will need their own individual kickstart files.

Am I on the right track here?

Thanks

Bob Cochran
