Yeah, no problem, although I do it differently now.

I'm taking snapshots of the disk using r1soft hotcopy which is available from here: http://www.r1soft.com/tools/linux-hot-copy/ , then copying...

You should be able to connect using VNC.

I'd do:

virsh list --all

which would give me a list of the names of the virtual servers.

I've found out how to do this, it was obvious :(

Thanks for posting this.

I'm not using Hyper-V anymore, I was just testing it out for work (we decided not to go for it), but it's great to have this here for reference anyway just in case.

Hi,

I've installed likewise-open and can now login to some Ubuntu 10.04 servers, authenticating against a Microsoft Active Directory server.

I use landscape-common which gives me a nice motd...

This is sorted out now, it seems that the different version of Spine does work fine with Cacti, so it's all good.

Thanks.

I have asked this in launchpad too.

Thanks for any help!

Hi,

I want to use Cacti 0.8.7g on Ubuntu 10.10.

It looks like the version of Spine is 0.8.7e instead of "g" to match.

VMware say that paravirtualisation is "no longer required" for 64 bit.

I think they are talking about the whole operating system being paravirtualised, not just drivers for disk, networking etc.

I'm not sure Xen will work out for you, Ubuntu have basically dropped it for KVM instead. KVM the way I use it is more of a server solution. I use VNC to access the actual screen, so that might not...

You mentioned that there's no limit for memory on 32 bit Ubuntu.

If you are using a 32 bit kernel, Support for large amounts of memory (above 4 GB) will come from PAE being enabled in the kernel....

Hi,

So it sounds like you have Ubuntu (the desktop version) and want to run some Windows applications? Xen isn't included in Ubuntu anymore (the major distributions are moving to KVM instead), but...

I have an update. I got the "VMware Paravirtual (pvscsi)" SCSI adapter and the "VMXNET 3" network card working in JeOS now.
