Some changes...

Hello there,

I am back, posting about some changes that we have made in our cloud...

As we mentioned before, we only have one computer (homer) able to run KVM (due the required virtualization technology). Well... now we are testing bart as our cloud+cc+sc controller and homer as our node controller.

We are also taking the opportunity to test the fresh Ubuntu 10.04 server. So, bart is running a 32 bit version of it and homer is running a 64.
The ubuntu installation is for dummies (us?) and after little time eucalyptus 1.6.2 was running in both machines... without too much effort...

Then, we decided to go back to the issue of running our custom-made VMs. Now using the KVM hypervisor.

Happily, everything that failed before, trying with Xen, worked smoothly with KVM. We took a previous custom VM and it worked at the very first time, proving that the problem was related to Xen and its paravirtualization that needs a special kernel/ramdisk pair in order to run VMs using Eucalyptus.

At least now we don't have this doubt anymore...

Thanks for reading.
