As an example, one of them is AMD Opteron 6134 (8 cores, 2.3 GHz), 16 GB RAM, 1 Gbit ethernet. We have three mons. I want to keep this setup also in the future, but I may move the OpenNebula virtualization out of mon hosts - not because the hosts are overloaded, but they are getting too old/slow/small for the VMs themselves :-). We have three mons with a similar configuration. -Yenya -- | Jan "Yenya" Kasprzak <kas at {fi.muni.cz - work | yenya.net - private}> | | http://www.fi.muni.cz/~kas/ GPG: 4096R/A45477D5 | This is the world we live in: the way to deal with computers is to google the symptoms, and hope that you don't have to watch a video. --P.
