there are lot of choice based on what you want to achieve.
I personally use OpenVZ (this is very simillar to chroot, but with better
security) and it work great. Other tools that i use is VirtualBox and Xen.

If you are looking at running few guest operating system and its hydrid
(linux and windows), Xen is first preference for me. On the other hand if
you just want to test few guest, easy start would be VirtualBox.

I suggest you read more about Virtualizationhere
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtualization


detailed list of linux Virtualization technologies is here

Hi,

No, it's a dedicated server.

modprobe -ls shows:

/lib/modules/2.6.27.9/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.ko

lsmod shows nothing

2009-09-03 Thread Alexander Kraev
Hi,

I have a server running on Ubuntu 8.04. I just got an access, so I 
started to check how the system works and I was confused by the fact 
that 'lsmod' command shows nothing, '/proc/modules' is also empty. Is it ok?

Regards,
Sasha

Re: Virtualization

2009-09-03 Thread Nick Fox
There are several variables in this but here goes:

KVM is a great community option which is widely supported and I would say is
your best option if you plan on Ubuntu being the host operating system.

Now that said VMware has several options, and is a very mature
virtualization technology. Wiht VMware server (The Free version you install
onto another operating system) has a few improvements of system resource
handling over KVM but it mostly shows through when running VM optimized
kernels and Windows Guests. However if you are talking about using ESXi
(another Free version from VMWare, but its own O/S) then My opinion is that
nothing out performs it in the VM World at this point.

If you want the free support and help of the Ubuntu community, (Which I
highly suggest), you should go with KVM on Ubuntu Server.

Re: Virtualization

2009-09-03 Thread Michael Zoet

it depends on what you want to achieve. For VMWare there are several
products available and you have to say what product you want to compare it
to KVM.

If you want to use a freely available Open Source virtualisation you
should choose KVM. If you have more technical concerns you should know
what you want to achieve. For just virtualizing some servers you can
achieve this with most of the common virtualization software.

For myself I administer some VMWare Server servers, some Xen servers and
one KVM server. They all work great in their use cases and you can run
various guest OSs on them. But all three have advantages or disadvantages.
For myself I prefer Xen, because I have much more knowledge about it than
VMWare or KVM. But it is really nasty to get the Xen code in the Linux
kernel... I think that's why Ubuntu dropped support for it and I use
Debian Lenny as the virt host installation...

With KVM I had once problems installing a Windows Vista OS. It was awfully
slow and I never understood why. Sadly I had not the time to figure out
why and I had to use Xen...

The best way to know what virtualization you prefer is by trying out :-).

Hope this helps in some way,

Michael
