up_the_ironsis virtio supported out-of-the-box in freebsd 10?
wondering if i should go all virtio when i make v10 templates
[15:34]
***acf_ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [15:38]
staticsafeup_the_irons: i believe so, might want to test it out though [15:39]
up_the_ironsk
my smallest host, "mercury", will get an upgrade to Precise (Ubuntu 12.04) this Wednesday night
notice to be sent out soon
(not sure if anyone here is on it)
[15:39]
toddfdoes that correspond to a kvr# or does it predate kvr# ? [15:40]
staticsafewhich kvr is it? [15:40]
toddf;-) [15:40]
jbergstroemup_the_irons: virtio drivers in vm is still so-so performance wise (not half as bad as 9 though)
at least according to my testing
[15:40]
staticsafejbergstroem: is it still better than the current VM disk IO drivers? [15:43]
jbergstroemstaticsafe: not really. i kind of trust them more as well
network drivers works great though
[15:44]
staticsafestaticsafe nods [15:44]
***robonerd- has joined #arpnetworks [15:50]
up_the_ironstoddf: staticsafe : technically, it is kvr01, but it was named before i made the "kvr" prefix naming system :) [15:51]

m0undsvirtio was supported as of 9.2
in freebsd
i haven't had any issues with it, and disk latency and stuff is lower than the default virtual ide driver or whatever it uses without virtio
[17:00]
mercutioi imagine that other tenants using virtual io will improve performance too
will improve node performance in general
[17:01]
staticsafeyeah [17:02]
mercutioit's really hard to benchmark such things though
i'd like to see the vnc speed up :/
[17:02]
staticsafeVNC is slow everywhere [17:03]
mercutiothat's the main thing i actually find slow
heh
[17:03]
m0undsit's slow on my KVM host at home on my local network
via my local network
it's just universally slow as balls
[17:03]
mercutioif it could just echo characters in a more timely fashion it'd be a nice start :)
damn
so the update may nnt help
[17:03]
m0undsyea - i only run a pair of vms on my box, and the load is less than 2.00 on a dual quad core box [17:04]
mercutiodo you find keys echo slow? [17:04]
m0undsyep [17:04]
mercutioas well as full screen refreshes
full screen refreshes i can understand slihgtly more
[17:04]
m0undsyeah
i found that using screen sharing or whatever the quasi-vnc client in osx is is pretty bearable
[17:04]
mercutiobut it's laggy enough to not have good feedback loop from here at least [17:05]
m0undsyeah. i only use vnc if i screw something up though [17:05]
mercutioi was running chrome over remote X the other day
it's quite usable
[17:05]
m0undsor if i need to interact with a box at boot [17:05]
mercutioerr on lan
except when resizing
yeah same m0unds ... but when i screw something up i'm easier irritated
[17:05]
m0undslol [17:06]
mercutioi screewed up the openbsd upgrade [17:06]
m0undsyeah, i remember you had a hard time w/that
sounded...fun?
[17:06]
mercutioheh
haha
that's oen word for it
[17:07]
m0undsnot the right word, necessarily
lol
[17:07]
mercutiooh well it's only that update that is meant to be a pita
there's a new non vnc consoel thingy too
i think it was called spice?
oh spice is in precise
[17:07]
***acf_ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 268 seconds) [17:15]

up_the_ironsyeah spice is in precise, but i never tested it [19:22]

toddfhaving a portal knob to twiddle disk type would be awesomeness, just sayin; I might be more inclined to try virtio nic or disk if I knew _I_ could revert in the timing of a shutdown/powerup [20:05]
brycecSpice is pretty effing smooth. [20:06]
toddfspice is the rolls royce of vm remote connectivity
consider
1) secure! can do password and even ssl ca keying etc
2) permits `sharing' audio/virtual usb disk/virtual usb cd/virtual usb floppy ..
its awesomeness
if you have a kvm capable system throw the latest proxmox.com on it and play; ignore the web ui notice there is no commercial licence and it works fine ..
in unix 'remote-viewer foo.
[20:06]
brycecExactly what we do [20:08]
toddfbrycec: do you have a .mailcap and .mime.types recipie? I have failed to create a working one .. [20:09]
brycecAlso fun: the cluster nodes will forward the spice (or vnc, etc) connection amongst each other. (I login to host A, get a spice connection for a VM running on host B, and the connection magically works via host A)
toddf: Nope. Never ever messed with those.
[20:11]
toddfbrycec: how do you connect to spice? directly via tcp or via some inetd alike running 'qm spice-server 100' or alike ?
I'm talkin by hitting the 'spice console' button in the web ui
[20:12]
brycectoddf: How does Proxmox do it? Internally, can't quite recall. But I click the SPICE button and it downloads "foo", then I run "remote-viewer foo" [20:13]
toddfbut anyway, semantics. sometime in the next two years I'll be surprised if arpnetworks doesn't have a spice remote viewing option. I'm sure those of us who have played with similar would be glad to work out any logistical and/or cmd line examples for up_the_irons if it would help ;-) [20:13]
brycec(And foo has certificate and host details_) [20:13]
toddfyes, indeedy it does [20:13]
mercutioi've never actually tried spice
but if it works better than vnc i'd be keen to try it
[20:27]

toddfmercutio: better is subjective, i honestly can't tell difference between visual display; its the fact that it is secure to the kvm process that interests me most
extra bells and whistles are nice, but not my personal selling point ;-)

up_the_ironstoddf: portal knob to twiddle disk / nic arch. is something i'd like to work on soon [21:55]
toddfup_the_irons: awesome ;-) [22:03]
up_the_irons:) [22:04]
toddfI've desires to use virtio nic, but os implementation issues can crop up, and ability to revert to intel nic and test at will virtio would be invaluable for me. I've not inundated you with support requests due to lack of desire to do so ..and coordinate testing on my end etc .. ;-)
your 'schedule' cuts out extra work in and of itself (and that is a good thing *grin*)
[22:04]
up_the_ironsi think more of your suggestions have become features than of anyone else ;) [22:09]
........... (idle for 54mn)
toddflucky me or good suggestions. hopefully the latter. ;-)
though I do, for the most part, have a single os for desktop and server deployment (OpenBSD) I do have a diverse set of experience using and maintaining various VM environments. when I see a good thing not present here yet, I can't help but mention it. I guess you and others agree its a must have at some point ;-)
