from ESXi to qemu-kvm (there are some howto's but I used clone over

new server raid interface was not ok for vmware so I had to use the
"real" deal :D, I didn't like esxi because of limited access to host
machine and one time I lost all virtual machines (I don't know what was
the problem), now backup of images is easy and live migration too,
remote manageability is not so cool like vmware but there is a new
network protocol (SPICE) hopefully it will be released with fedora 14
and made stable soon
I had some errors related to virtualisation on dmesg and some machine
lockup , but after 2.6.32 the errors where gone (opteron supermicro
server, on intel ibm and fujitsu all was ok with stock), now I'm on
vanilla 2.6.34, and maybe I'll switch to 2.6.35 (on production, fingers
crossed :d), the new kernel and qemu can share memory pages so you can
have less memory used by machines, but is harder to get it compile on
centos 5.x
now I have one server clean and maybe I'll try a fedora to see the
performance of the new qemu-kvm and kernel and maybe I'll backport it to
centos if it's worth the trouble

Thanks for sharing, Lucian. I see you're on the bleeding edge.
Personally, I like lagging behind a bit sometimes.
As I think I already mentioned, I'll probably try out KVM on COS6 after
it's been out for a little while.
One more question. Can you explain to us the difference between qemu-kvm
and the KVM that will be coming out with CentOS 6?
Oh, and there's just a tiny bit (so far) about KVM on the wiki
(http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/KVM). It'd be great if you could
add some content there if/when you get a chance. If you'd like an idea
of how you might organize the page, see the one on VMware. You could do
something entirely different if you like though.
Thanks again.
