[CentOS-virt] open-vm-tools 20100425 rpm
All, I've updated the open-vm-tools packages that have been floating around to the latest release - 4/25/2010 - for those that are interested. There is quite a bit of new additions/changes over the past year such as the addition of a fuse driver for vmblock devices, vmxnet3, pvscsi, etc. SRPMS and .spec's available here: http://www.davehollis.com/packages/open-vm-tools-kmod.spec http://www.davehollis.com/packages/open-vm-tools.spec http://www.davehollis.com/packages/open-vm-tools-kmod-0-1.20100425.el5.src.rpm http://www.davehollis.com/packages/open-vm-tools-0-1.20100425.el5.src.rpm ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt

[CentOS-virt] SPICE anyone?
There was mention of some support for SPICE in RHEL 5.4, and mention again of improved support in 5.5, but it sounds like their main goal is to implement it in RHEV. Is there an easy way to implement SPICE with 5.5? Or should I download the source and compile it from spice-space.org? Thanks... ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
Re: [CentOS-virt] Choices for shared network storage, NFS vs iSCSI
I think iSCSI is easier to implement and is certainly fast, but I'm unclear about the number of iSCSI clients that can access a volume (iSCSI target) at the same time. So, I use it with only one client at a time. -Original Message- From: centos-virt-boun...@centos.org [mailto:centos-virt-boun...@centos.org] On Behalf Of Steven Ellis Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 2010 7:55 PM To: Discussion about the virtualization on CentOS Subject: [CentOS-virt] Choices for shared network storage, NFS vs iSCSI Has anyone here ran performance comparisons between NFS and iSCSI when using network storage for KVM based guests.

So, I use it with only one client at a time. iSCSI does allow multiple initiators to access a target simultaneously. Of course, the initiator's OS needs to handle the access properly via cluster-aware filesystem (VMFS, GFS2, etc) or locking mechanisms to avoid data corruption. Additionally, the target implementation may require support for certain SCSI reservation protocols to handle certain clustering implementations. ___ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
