Hello,
I'm building a "Sun Cloud" based on Sun hardware and software for
hosting.
The storage will be, of course, a Sun Storage 7000 iSCSI (2xGbE
MPxIO), the
hosts servers will be Sun Fire X4170 with either :
- Linux/Debian + XenSource + OpenVSwitch (citrix project)
- or OpenSolaris + xVM + crossbow
I prefer the xVM solution because it's integrated to OpenSolaris, uses
libvirt
and supports out of the box network virtualization.
The guests (domU) will be only paravirtualized Debian with custom
kernel,
and maybe some OpenSolaris x86pv (I will use zones for Solaris/
OpenSolaris
guests).
The features that are mandatory are :
- PV guest support (local kernel, no pygrub)
- Live migration
- Virtualized network (bonding, spanning-tree, vlans, bw limiting,
accounting)
- API for remote management (libvirt is ok)
- stability and performance (200+ managed guests on 5 hosts)
My tests are done now with OpenSolaris 2010.02-snv_124 (Xen 3.3.2), it
works
well but I have not tested the network and performances.
So, is xVM (snv_124) stable enough for production ?
When will xvm-3.4 come to OpenSolaris ?
Why is Sun using virtualbox for his cloud ?
Regards,
Frédéric.
