Hi Our institution forces us linux admins to get rid of all our physical hardware machines and only wants to maintain VMware virtual machines. Since we built our whole linux infrastructure based on OpenVZ and optimized the maintenance of our infrastructure with a lot of OpenVZ specific scripts, we absolutely don't want to abandon OpenVZ.
Since the computational (and memory and I/O) overhead of OpenVZ seems neglectible, we thought about transferring only the HNs to VMware virtual machines, while keeping all containers running in their HNs, so that the switch can be done with minimal effort and we are still able to make use of the advantages of OpenVZ. Before doing so, we would like to hear some opinions about running OpenVZ HNs as VMware virtual machines. Is there anything that one needs to take care of in this particular setup? First tests exhibited no issues at all. Even compiling the VMwareTools kernel modules into the openvz debian kernel was no problem and seems to work well. Thanks in advance for sharing opinions.
