Dear solr users, while setting up some new servers (virtual machines) using XEN I was thinking about an alternative like KVM. My last tests with KVM is a while ago and XEN performed much better in the area of I/O and CPU usage. This lead me to the idea to start a poll about virtualization platform and your experiences.
Here are my questions (and own answers): - what kind of virtualization platform are you using? XEN - what made your decision to use that platform and not any other? XEN performed better than KVM. Only tested XEN and KVM, nothing else. - any problems seen so far like: - - hanging server without hardware problems? Never seen. - - I/O bottleneck? Not with XEN. - - which OS? SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 x86_64bit - - JAVA problems? Not with JAVA 6 and 7. No experiences yet with JAVA 8. Regards Bernd
