Esteemed list members,
has anyone ever set up RAC virtual machines using KVM? I am about to
have Fedora 12 installed on my PC. The virtualisation guide and the
official sources state that FC 8 is the last Fedora Core release that
officially can run as a dom0. There is a faint possibility that Fedora
13 (Kernel 2.6.33) might have it included but that's still in
development. And neither do I want to compile it in myself...
The biggest problem could be the requirement of having "shared storage",
in xen this is almost trivial to have. A workaround could be a VM
running openfiler exporting iscsi drives but that's additional overhead
I'd like to avoid.
I have really good experience with OpenSuSE 11.1 and running
paravirtualised domUs.
Thanks for any input!
Martin
