I'm not too fond of that option, because than you'd still be stuck with the 'bad' IO performance of KVM (compared to 'native' OpenVZ). And that would thus eliminate one of the big reasons why you would want OpenVZ in the first place. Aside from the fact that KVM doesn't run on the hardware we...

I'm not all against two versions, but I can imagine this would increase the load on the development team. However, if they would create a seperate version for OpenVZ, I would regret it if this version was stuck with the 1.3 release features. I mean, I really do like 1.3 and it runs great on...

Well, we actually did IO benchmarks when we were deciding between VMware ESXi 3.5, Citrix Xenserver and OpenVZ. For good measure we also included KVM. I don't have the numbers anymore, but OpenVZ beats all of them hands down: it was almost as fast as a bare installation of CentOS (the OS we...

@ jmharris: you could see XenServer as a (trimmed down) distribution centered around and optimized for Xen. Thus, you get 'guaranteed' and thoroughly tested stability and I think also more speed. As a very rough comparison for stability I think you could compare XenServer to RHEL, while Xen is...

@ jmharris: I agree that Xen isn't that interesting and that KVM will replace it sooner or later. After all, in our testing, KVM beats Xen in speed, and with the support of Red Hat it certainly will gain stability as well. I have no experience with Xen concerning stability. However, Xen is...

I just would like to let you know that we also use Proxmox (currently on three servers) only because of the OpenVZ funtionality. No OpenVZ functionality would mean no Proxmox anymore, since we use Citrix Xenserver for our 'real' virtual servers. Proxmox is by far the best tool to manage...

What we were trying to do was to migrate a server that has an NFS mount configured. In OpenVZ this is done bij adding an <VPS_ID>.mount file in the /etc/vz/conf/ directory for the VPS that needs the NFS mount. Apparently this file isn't correctly migrated alongside with the config file, which...

We are experiencing problems with migrating an OpenVZ container from one Proxmox server in a cluster to the other. Both machines (Dell 2850's) are equiped with the same hardware, except for the amount of memory; the machine that we are migrating from has 12 GB of memory, the machine that we are...

It indeed sounds the OpenVZ project still has some work to do than... Thanks for clarifying this issue!

Okay, that sounds like a plan. But are there by any chance also any plans for using a new kernel for Proxmox in the near future? Or wouldn't that fix it?

Hi, We are testing Proxmox and are fairly impressed with the functionality and usibility. However, we are expreciencing problems with the OpenVZ online migration feature. Our test setup consists of two Dell PowerEdge 1850's (therefore, KVM functionality isn't available on these machines). Both...
