[CentOS] Load-Balancing Virtualized Guests

2007-11-30 Thread Alvin Chang
Hi everyone:

According to "Automated failover and recovery of virtualized guests in
Advanced Platform", one can easily migrate virtualized guests around
different hosts. However, is it currently possible for CentOS 5 with
Virtualization&Clustering Suite to migrate guests dynamically
according to loads on different hosts?

Thanks,

Perhaps posting the whole /etc/pam.d/gdm might help...

The NX server is not a daemon. The NX client will ssh into the server
as user nx with SSL password-less login, set up the environment
(therefore you need X installed, but don't need it running), then
present the X login screen.

NX is event-based; VNC is session-based in real-time.

Probably because previously you don't have HTTPS enabled?

It looks like you should really seriously think about hosting mails
using virtual domains. If you use virtual domains, you can just copy
/etc/shadow to the new machine and tell Cyrus/Courier/[whatever] to
use PAM to authenticate with the shadow file. Refer to howtoforge.com
for details on virtual domain.

If you are going to go ahead with the /etc/{password,shadow,group}
route, then you also gotta make sure /home/* has the right UID/GID.

LG ones usually do DVD-RAM. It's one of their sales slogan.

Oh, if you want to try the hardware raid is faster than software raid

processing from the AMD/Intel cpus then but the i960 was so slow, using
software raid was just a no brainer since you get twice the speed for a
10% cpu load.

I had that card... LOL!

Thanks for the correction.

I start wondering how on earth Intel put those chips on...

Thanks for the responses, confirming what I thought: disable SATA RAID and
use Linux software RAID for mirroring. So that's what I've done.

It appears that my Centos 4.4 install didn't know about dmraid devices anyway.

I personally would give fakeraid a because the hardware chipset
wouldn't take as much CPU time as soft-raid. Why are you using 4.4
instead of 4.5 as you mentioned in your previous post?
