ok. just to describe why we need it. our production servers run on
mandrake-9 and mandrake-10. it's about 6-700 server running in 6
different countries. we're in progress to switch them to centos-5, but
since all of the servers are in different country's different city we've
to do it remotely and it require big care and it's happened very slowly.
our central development server has all kind of different system
distro/kernel/cpu 32 and 64bit/memory/ etc. we runs test on these guests
and compile new versions on them. so these are not mission critical
production server but our developer use it and that's why we have all
guest running. we're in a process to make a second server which use xen
and run guests on that hosts. currently it seems that xen is much more
stable and usable alternative. as i'm on the kvm list since about half
year it seems xen will be better choice in the next 6-12 mounts too. and
xen has more support from et.redhat.com too libvirt, virt-manager, etc
too. anyway imho someone from qumranet may have to be involved in these
tools development too (to be at the same level as xen) since it's very
important from the user point of view. unfortunately i choose kvm over
xen at the first place that's way i made rpms for kvm and other tools
for centos and test all new version a little bit.
