shahid_hi12:50
kim0shahid_: Howdy12:51
kim0What's up12:51
shahid_kim0: I have already configured a UEC and its in production12:51
kim0woohoo :)12:52
shahid_kim0: Now I have to configure another UEC and I am loking for a hardware server12:52
shahid_sutable for UEC12:52
shahid_high performance server12:53
kim0Well the only "requirement" per se is having VT in the CPU12:53
kim0I would recommend any nehalem+ CPU, which would meet those requirements12:53
kim0It's hard to recommend hardware, without needs from your side ..12:54
kim0what kind of VMs run on each NC, what do they do ..etc12:54
shahid_some app need more RAM some need more processing power12:56
kim0obviously :)12:58
shahid_kim0: Is it possible to add more VM types to UEC12:58
kim0Might make sense to talk to your hardware vendor too12:59
kim0I'm sure you can edit current types, but not exactly sure you can add new ones (probably can though)12:59
shahid_ok13:04
shahid_kim0: suitable HDD ? SAN with RAID1013:07
shahid_is it a good option13:08
kim0without requirements .. anything can be good :)13:08
kim0raid10 is generally a good default though13:08
kim0I'd recommend just starting with what you have .. then if you face any problems, come and ask questions13:09
shahid_ok13:09
shahid_kim0: Actual requirement is to setup a cloud like EC2 or slicehost13:13
kim0well since you already have a uec setup running in production, you can already do that13:13
kim0shahid_: I would recommend you build a small cloud, have users test it, measure performance, collect feedback, then ask questions on how to make it better in directionX13:17

=== chuck_ is now known as zul
shahid_kim0: I have one more question13:40
kim0shoot13:41
shahid_If I use a 8 core processor I can create max 8 VM's13:41
shahid_If I use latest multi-threaded processes such as 8core but 16 threads is it possible to create 16 VM or just 8VM's13:42
kim0hmm I am not really sure 8cores = 8VMs13:43
kim0perhaps TeTeT can comment on that13:43
shahid_Hi TeTeT13:43
shahid_TeTeT: If I use latest multi-threaded processes such as 8core but 16 threads is it possible to create 16 VM or just 8VM's13:46
kim0shahid_: try waiting a bit more13:46
shahid_ok13:47
TeTeTshahid_: you can manually override the setting with MAX_CPU= in the eucalyptus.conf on the node controller13:47
TeTeTshahid_: if you don't have heavy computational needs, I would say that 32 is a safe value to start from with such a processor13:48
shahid_ok13:48
shahid_thanks TeTeT & kim013:49
kim0Good luck13:49
