We were just discussing this model for our use earlier today as a way of working around the lack of a granular authorization model. Our use case is that we want to have some networks only available to our IT staff, while making other networks available for course and research use. At first glance, there's nothing to stop you from deploying multiple OpenNebula servers pointing at the same backend hosts, but you're going to find it difficult to control resource (primarily CPU and memory) utilization since the two instances won't be aware of each other. In theory you could adjust for this by limiting the total resources available to each server, but I'm not sure off the top of my head if this is actually possible. We may ultimately go with shared accounts (e.g., everyone in IT authenticates as the "IT" user, and everyone in CS50 authenticates as the "CS50" user) -- unless the forthcoming release addresses some of these issues. -- Lars Kellogg-Stedman <[email protected]> Senior Technologist Harvard University SEAS Academic and Research Computing (ARC) _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.opennebula.org/listinfo.cgi/users-opennebula.org
