Yes, I have a samba4 domain controller running as a KVM guest on a CentOS 6.3 host (two of them w/DRS, actually). Runs like a champ. I also have two LVS-DR load balancers running as CentOS 6.3 KVM guests with keepalived w/VRRP, one on a C5.8 host and one on a C6.3 host. Each guest has three network interfaces, as does the host (bridged mode with dual bonded interfaces underneath). Services are LDAP, Windows remote desktop, HTTP, webmail, IMAP and SMTP. Everything works fine for all services with the exception of SMTP, which works fine on C5 but not on C6 (same guest setup, same realservers), where it loses connections when sending mail messages larger than about 10MB. Even setting rp_filter=2 does not help; I have not pinned this one down yet, but I doubt that KVM is responsible since C5 works. As a point of interest, the Windows RDP service feeds 31 Windows XP virtio realservers, which are themselves KVM guests on a Dell R710 (8 physical cores + hyperthreading, 48GB) running CentOS 5.9 (soon to be 6.3). Runs most excellently. Steve _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
