[05:45] <koolhead11> hi all
[06:40] <koolhead11> kim0, hey
[08:45] <kim0> Morning
[09:30] <flaccid> eveing
[11:49] <koolhead11> kim0, :)
[12:50] <shahid_> hi
[12:51] <kim0> shahid_: Howdy
[12:51] <kim0> What's up
[12:51] <shahid_> kim0: I have already configured a UEC and its in production
[12:52] <kim0> woohoo :)
[12:52] <shahid_> kim0: Now I have to configure another UEC and I am loking for a hardware server
[12:52] <shahid_> sutable for UEC
[12:53] <shahid_> high performance server
[12:53] <kim0> Well the only "requirement" per se is having VT in the CPU
[12:53] <kim0> I would recommend any nehalem+ CPU, which would meet those requirements
[12:54] <kim0> It's hard to recommend hardware, without needs from your side ..
[12:54] <kim0> what kind of VMs run on each NC, what do they do ..etc
[12:56] <shahid_> some app need more RAM some need more processing power
[12:58] <kim0> obviously :)
[12:58] <shahid_> kim0: Is it possible to add more VM types to UEC
[12:59] <kim0> Might make sense to talk to your hardware vendor too
[12:59] <kim0> I'm sure you can edit current types, but not exactly sure you can add new ones (probably can though)
[13:04] <shahid_> ok
[13:07] <shahid_> kim0: suitable HDD ? SAN with RAID10
[13:08] <shahid_> is it a good option
[13:08] <kim0> without requirements .. anything can be good :)
[13:08] <kim0> raid10 is generally a good default though
[13:09] <kim0> I'd recommend just starting with what you have .. then if you face any problems, come and ask questions
[13:09] <shahid_> ok
[13:13] <shahid_> kim0: Actual requirement is to setup a cloud like EC2 or slicehost
[13:13] <kim0> well since you already have a uec setup running in production, you can already do that
[13:17] <kim0> shahid_: 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 directionX
[13:18] <shahid_> ok
[13:40] <shahid_> kim0: I have one more question
[13:41] <kim0> shoot
[13:41] <shahid_> If I use a 8 core processor I can create max 8 VM's
[13:42] <shahid_> If I use latest multi-threaded processes such as 8core but 16 threads is it possible to create 16 VM or just 8VM's
[13:43] <kim0> hmm I am not really sure 8cores = 8VMs
[13:43] <kim0> perhaps TeTeT can comment on that
[13:43] <shahid_> Hi TeTeT
[13:46] <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's
[13:46] <kim0> shahid_: try waiting a bit more
[13:47] <shahid_> ok
[13:47] <TeTeT> shahid_: you can manually override the setting with MAX_CPU= in the eucalyptus.conf on the node controller
[13:48] <TeTeT> shahid_: if you don't have heavy computational needs, I would say that 32 is a safe value to start from with such a processor
[13:48] <shahid_> ok
[13:49] <shahid_> thanks TeTeT & kim0
[13:49] <kim0> Good luck
