Hello All,<br>
<br>
I was doing a bit of research with regards to migrating from our
current OpenVZ VPS installations to a small cloud with the purpose
of providing SaaS to customers. I looked at a number other
Opensource Cloud Projects and I have decided to give Opennebula a
try as it seems like a great project to get involved with.<br>
<br>
I am trying to devise a suitable partitioning scheme for the
Front-End Management Server and the Host Node. I looked through the
documentation but I don't see any info with regards to the
partitioning requirements so I would be grateful for your best
practice recommendations.<br>
<br>
*** Front-End Management Server ***<br>
<br>
OS: Ubuntu 11.04 LTS 64-bit<br>
Installation: Self Contained in /srv/cloud/one<br>
Hard Disk: 2 x SATA 1TB Drives in Hardware RAID 1<br>
<br>
/dev/sda1: 300MB /boot<br>
/dev/sda2: 8GB swap<br>
/dev/sda3: 40GB /<br>
/dev/sda5 4GB /tmp<br>
/dev/sda6 40GB /var<br>
/dev/sda7 100GB /srv/cloud/one<br>
/dev/sda8 Free Space /datastore (LVM)<br>
<br>
<br>
*** Host Node Specs ***<br>
<br>
OS: Ubuntu 11.04 LTS 64-bit<br>
Installation: Self Contained in /srv/cloud/one<br>
Hypervisor: KVM<br>
Hard Disk: 4 x SATA 1TB Drives in Hardware RAID 1+0<br>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1">
Storage: Non-Shared File Storage<br>
<br>
/dev/sda1: 300MB /boot<br>
/dev/sda2: 8GB swap<br>
/dev/sda3: 40GB /<br>
/dev/sda5 4GB /tmp<br>
/dev/sda6 40GB /var<br>
/dev/sda7 100GB /srv/cloud/one<br>
/dev/sda8 Free Space /datastore<br>
<br>
We decided not to go with Non-Shared File System for the time being
because one of the Instances will be a "busy" Database Server that
we will migrating from a dedicated server and will need to use Local
Storage.<br>
<br>
Any feedback would be appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks in Advance.<br>
