Hi, Although I have some years of experience running Linux, I'm a complete OpenSolaris newbie. So I'm not sure if I'm writing to the right list.
At the moment I'm running a small Linux cluster the serves X desktops to adminitrative personnel via NX. Diskless nodes where the desktops run boot remotely and mount / with NFS. Users connect to a node and share the OS with the other users logged onto the same node. I'm not virtualizing an OS per user. I do use Xen to virtualize a number of servers like the node_server, home_server, ldap, cups, samba, etc, etc. My big concern with the current setup is that _all_ of my virtual servers and _all_ of my disk drives are in one box. So I thought OpenSolaris could be a solution. I would like to spread the virtual servers and disk drives between 2 boxes with the hope that when one box dies, the cluster will keep running. Is this list the right place for me? What I'm proposing is sensible/possible? Thanks. Chris.
