Hi, I was planning on using qemu to run several instances on various OSes on my OpenBSD 5.0/amd64 server.
As a first try, I ran an OpenBSD 5.0/i386 instance using qemu-0.14.1p4: # ifconfig tun0 link0 # ifconfig bridge0 add tun0 add bge0 up # qemu -nographic -m 128 -net nic -net tap,ifname=tun0 -no-fd-bootchk -hda /home/vm/monitoring.img Then I configured munin-server in the vm to poll the amd64 server and the local munin-node. On the virtual machine side, I get: # top -o cpu -n 1 load averages: 2.77, 3.35, 2.13 monitoring.tumfatig.net 22:54:30 42 processes: 2 running, 39 idle, 1 on processor CPU states: 17.6% user, 33.1% nice, 8.8% system, 0.1% interrupt, 40.4% idle Memory: Real: 31M/72M act/tot Free: 44M Cache: 22M Swap: 0K/259M PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE WAIT TIME CPU COMMAND 568 _munin 84 10 6396K 5268K run - 0:57 48.68% perl On the server side, I get: # top -o cpu -n 1 load averages: 2.28, 1.72, 1.40 bagheera.tumfatig.net 22:55:16 96 processes: 93 idle, 1 zombie, 2 on processor CPU0 states: 11.7% user, 1.2% nice, 2.3% system, 0.1% interrupt, 84.7% idle CPU1 states: 11.2% user, 1.1% nice, 2.2% system, 0.0% interrupt, 85.4% idle Memory: Real: 421M/1140M act/tot Free: 6811M Cache: 611M Swap: 0K/512K PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE WAIT TIME CPU COMMAND 5764 root 64 0 207M 156M onproc/1 - 13:43 84.38% qemu I read that kqemu is not available anymore but wondered if there were some tricks to accelerate the Qemu instances ? TIA, Jo
