Thank you list for all the valuable input. Based on your input I have decided to stay with 1.4 for now for the production systems. Zeeshan A Zakaria -- www.ilovetovoip.com On 2010-08-24 2:13 PM, Roderick A. Anderson raand...@cyber-office.net wrote: Gordon Henderson wrote: On Tue, 24 Aug 2010,

Hi list, I am planning a migration to virtual machines, and was considering with it to move from 1.4 to one of the later versions. My and my clients' 1.4 setups have been rock solid and I don't want to put myself into any unnecessary trouble. Those of you with solid experience with all these

We moved a 1.4 installation to a VMWare environment some time ago and it was fairly uneventful. Still, if it were me, I wouldn't change too many things at once and I would first wait until what I currently run is stable under VM. Once stable, I wouldn't hesitate to upgrade and that's one of

Did you use VMWare's hypervisor? I have no experience with it but I'll be using Proxmox with no KVM, just OpenVZ because the server's processors don't support hardware virtualization. I have worked for someone before with Asterisk 1.4s running on Proxmox, and there was no issue regarding

We now run VMWare ESXi 4.0 on HP Proliant DL360 G5 and have not had any issues. A couple of years ago, we tried OpenVZ, but did not have good results. Don't ask to me explain what the problem was, because that was the problem...we couldn't figure it out. It was just unexplained erratic

I'm not saying you will have issues with OpenVZ and Asterisk...just that we did (a couple of years ago) and they went away when we rehosted on VMWare. It may work fine for you. We started out with the free version of VMWare, but soon thereafter upgraded to a licensed version of VMWare

Gorden, I agree with you and I moved to 1.4 only because I wanted to use the 'originate' command on asterisk CLI, and there was one more small little feature difference which I don't remember now, but nothing more than that, otherwise my 1.2 installation was just great. I know someone who didn't
