I tried this years ago with ESXI and it failed miserably. I was able to pass the URI through to the VM, but the audio was extremely choppy and unreliable. My opinion is it's not worth the headache, but YMMV as technology may have improved since I last touched this (2011'ish I think). Hub nodes or nodes with no direct hardware attached seem to work pretty good though, a friend of mine will have an RTCM soon and we'll be testing with that. 73 Stephen K1LNX On Friday, July 8, 2016, Loren Tedford <lorentedford@gmail.com> wrote:
Whats every ones thoughts on doing vmware sphere cluster host on the main machine that runs the radios.. Then taking dial and making it a vm image floating between the servers.. Is it possible that the uri's will connect up to asterisk if i get them ported into the vm?? Whats the possibility of higher jitter levels??
So far I have been able to get Virtualbox to pass through the URI to a radio I would assume that it would run full duplex if it had to but I really want to make things a little more versatile and reliable.
Reason I had asked is because i am doing work on the main frame server tonight and considering running vmware across all the servers from the house to the datacenter and repeater site.
Any advice? has anyone done anything similar?
