Hi,
Since OpenVZ doesn't create individual containers doe it require CPUs with Hyper-Threading?
I have 6 servers that aren't being used and I'd like to expand my OpenVZ VPS operation.
The server specifications are:
> INTEL XEON E3-1220 3.1GHZ 5GT/S 8MB CACHE QUAD CORE L1155 CPU
> SUPERMICRO X9SCL+-F SATA3, L1155 MOTHERBOARD
> 8GB DDR-3 1333MHZ ECC MEMORY 6GB/S
> 2 each WESTERN DIGITAL 500GB 16MB SATA3 6GB/S HARD DRIVE
Do the above specifications meet requirements for multiple OpenVZ containers installation on each server?
The Intel E3-1220 does have "Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d)".
I think this is all that is required but not positive.
Also, will I be giving up any performance (or will there be any other repercussions) by not having Hyper-Threading?
I THINK Hyper-Threading IS necessary for a Xen VPS. I'll deal with Xen later. Right now I need to utilize these 6 servers either by OpenVZ VPS or cloud utilization. The bottom has fallen out of the dedicated server market.
I need help answering this as soon as possible so if you can't answer all of my question but your sure of 1 of them, please reply.
I'm fairly good at Google searches but darn if I could find anything on this. I even searched the SolusVM forums. I use SolusVM to manage my VPS.
Thanks in advance for your help with this,
redham
