Currently I have a 150G drive in an e-machines pc with 2G of memory and have one internal NIC and pci NIC's. It's a single CPU machine. Using OpenSolaris 2009.06.
I have a number of vnic and etherstub devices setup and have 5 VirtualBox instances running in non-global zones each running an instance of FreeBSD. Because of the setup the system is sluggish, but not so much due to memory, but due to CPU exhaustion. If I had an X2250 or another server that has 2 CPU's and 2 cores, what problems would I have to move the current hard drive into the X2250? I know the NIC driver would change but the two zones using afe0 and rtls0 currently could be changed to use bge0/1 or whatever driver is in the new machine. I've done a swap in the past on Sun Fire servers using Solaris 9 on sparc. Other than the NIC changes would there be anything else that would prevent a swap to a new machine? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
