Only tried opensim in virtualbox (on windows :O ) with opensuse as guest.
But the biggest problem i see is the hdd speed. maby not enough cpu
resources. assigned 2-3 cores.
But it where a bit more laggy. but linux is not the best choice for
opensim anyway, so it maby could be mono to.

If you're looking to run your own hypervisor I'd suggest something
called Proxmox. Its open source / linux based and allows you to
create both openvz and kvm containers via a nifty web interface. Their

I've used OpenSimulator in a variety of virtual machines, from KVM to
OpenVZ to VirtualBox to EC2. In general performance is less than when
running in bare hardware but everything usually works. I've seen some
issues with timer accuracy in some virtual machines in the past and
had to compile a custom linux kernel to get around it, but I think
recent virtualization technology has probably fixed this. Some
technologies like OpenVZ I found very difficult to work with in
general and I prefer to stick with the KVM style approach where the
host OS kernel is set up to allow a "closer to the metal" virtualization.
I think virtual machines are good for lower performance installations
where fewer avatars and scripts are expected. and bare metal should
be used where higher performance is needed.
Often hosting companies will oversell and you may get a lot less
performance than you would expect from their advertised
specifications. If performance is poor with one company, try others.
The cheapest deal is usually far from the best.

I've seen OpenSimulator run under different virtual machines (Xen
and EC2). Back a few years ago, there was a very odd issue when
using EC2 where the simulator process wouldn't certain start
context switching millions of times and freeze out all other
processes, though that may have been a mono issue rather than EC2.
Other than that, it appears to work just fine as long as you give
it sufficient CPU resources, as is the case when running on bare
metal.

Hi all
I wad wondering if anyone had much experience with running
OpenSim under a
virtual machine? I'm interested in finding out what sort of
performance
can be expected from running in that sort of environment and
how far it
can be pushed without too many issues.
