[App_rpt-users] Virtual node

If it runs on VMWare why not Virtuozzo?

As the System Administrator for the hosting company I work we run Virtuozzo
4.7. We generally place two Plesk servers on one hardware node (dual
processor Intel XEON/64-bit 2.5GHz,L2 12MB cache, 16GB ECC RAM, and RAID
III.) Never do two fully functional servers conflict because we do not allow
over-use of resources. If the "dedicated server" VPS resources are small
enough to moderate we can run as many as 3-5 containers.

With this said I have not yet tried to install ACID into an empty VPS
container. By default Virtuozzo creates a Centos 6.x shell with limited
files. If adding Plesk it will automatically pull from YUM for a complete
distro install. We have several Shoutcast servers configured this way but we
had to manually add dependent files.

Now then, I want to run ACID on an identical machine and a RTCM but with
only ACID on one container regardless of the outstanding horsepower. The
main reasons for this are the ability to do a timed back-up to a network
resource, restore to a different location if there is a failure, migrate to
a different server long enough to change hard drives annually, and a host of
other features. The back-up and migration tools are essential. Plus, if the
container is rooted a remote command will rebuild the container
destructively or non-destructively. The horsepower is so that I can give
back to the community by offering the equivalent of a conference channel or
otherwise help someone else out. The last reason is to avoid timing issues.
Our goal is a hybrid of voted simulcast and non-voted but synced transmit on
one node.

With all of this said has anyone actually tried to load ACID into a
Virtuozzo 4.7 container? I can build a regular server and write a bash
script that will TAR and move a back-up file with rsync. But Virtuozzo is a
team player and very comfortable for me. I have been running it on almost
all of our client servers since 2007.

Blessings to all,

Namaste

Been there, doing that. I've been running Node 2100 as a hub on a VMware 
VM for years. First as Debian Etch and now Wheezy.
