Hi All.
I plan to use virtualization in my production environment. I plan to use one of the following options:
- KVM;
- VMWare Esxi;
- VMWare Workstation.
I plan to install Windows 2008 as a guest. I want to use something like LVM snapshots for backups. Stability is also very important, the guest will be used as a production server. Which option could You recommend and why?
does KVM in CentOS have native virtualization 'drivers' for Win2008 server? if not, I wouldn't run it in a production environment.
You can install virtio disk/net drivers. In fact, Windows 2008 supports virtio disk out of the box iirc.
Maybe with Windows/Hyper-V host, but definitely not with Xen/KVM.
