First FreeBSD 10.0 auto-provisioning template is done.  Just gotta resize it for our other common sizes and it'll go on the order page.
phlux: i can probably re-image your VMs with 10.0 some time this week
up_the_irons excellent news :)
pjs: yeah, and it's all virtio too
which, unfortunately for me, means i can only put it on a possible of 8 servers, instead of all 30, but that count is going higher every week as i upgrade hosts
Ahhh
up_the_irons so is it safe to start ordering new VM's with 10.0 on it then? :)
cause I just wanna rebuild my VM's and one by one replace the current ones
pjs: i'll probably need another day or two to finalize everything; didn't get much sleep last night, so probably not going to get a lot done regarding fbsd 10 today
up_the_irons all good.. I'm a patient man ;)
:)
up_the_irons: I ended up just reimaging myself with 9.2
phlux: yeah i think i meant pjs
ah
up_the_irons: i don't suppose you've had time to look at implementing spice remote access with the new kvm yet?
nope
it looked like with qemu/kvm it's vnc or spice.. but probably reasonably easy to do spice instead of vnc, but would require being able to set different startup switches
but maybe could be looked at when you're looking at something else
yeah
