How to install OpenQRM 4.8 with LXC containers in Debian Squeeze/Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: Step by Step
OpenQRM 4.8 (http://www.openqrm.com/?q=node/192)
was released on March 31, 2011 with OpenVZ and LXC support. Additional features in this release include remote VM console and support for ICING and
automated VLAN management with OpenVSwitch. Enhanced high-availability using Pacemaker + Corosync is something very valueable for a mission-critical
datacenter included in this release among others.
Wonderful
enterprise grade datacenter management framework!
I hope that this information is useful to those who are interested.
And thanks to Matt and OpenQRM developers for the hard
work!
DISCLAIMER: This is something that worked for me. I
do not bear responsibility if something breaks down. You need at
least a 100GB for this for basic setup.
