Running DSS V6 on a virtual machine

[SeanLeyne]

Why would you want to?

For easier maintenance. I can simply backup the whole thing or replicate it from hypervisor's prespective.....

I have the same question : http://forum.open-e.com/showthread.php?t=1501

Hello,

Can I install Open-E DDS V6 into a Virtual Machine, so I can install two and have "failover" ? Like seanodes does.

I'm targetting XenServer 5.5, just in case

My gold is to have VM installed on a Shared Storage (For HA and stuff) without having to buy a SAN (just 2 ou 3 physical machine).

I'm also wondering if we can make an active/active/passive setup with 3 physical machine like scalecomputing does !

geez goal, can't edit

more importantly, we can use VM to do replication testing etc.
