Yes, we are using vMotion with our ESX hosts. It involved writing a custom provisioning module which is slated to be part of the next VCL release. The short version is that all of the ESX hosts are put into a single vCenter host, and the VCL communicates only with that single host (even though

Hi Aaron, One of the things we're working on at Cybera is an EC2 provisioning module. We've also done a lot of work with OpenStack and our intent is for the module not just to work with Amazon EC2 but any cloud that implements the EC2 API, including OpenStack. Right now it's very much in a proof

Hi Cameron, That's wonderful. I understand this is a POC now, but also thats a great point in development cycle to get more eyes looking at it. Would you be comfortable (if not now, soon) submitting the work under ASF for review by the VCL community? Also with that we could work toward bringing y

Hi Anu, Yes it will likely be mid-end of April now for the 2.3 release. End of March timeline I proposed in Jan/Feb was too optimistic on my part. Aaron On Wed, Mar 28, 2012 at 11:53 AM, Anu Chirinos wrote: > Wonderful,, so this is in the 2.3 version coming on April? > > Anu > > > > On 3/28/12

Wndows pagefile.sys settings

James Yes, I have changed the setting for pagefile. But it resets to default after I capture image and make reservation. I've also commented disable_pagefile() in Windows.pm (and restarted vcld), but it doesn't help. New image still has default pagefile setting. Is there another place in the
