The Result of P2V: A Possible Fix

Matt Jones | October 18, 2006

I have been trying to ‘fix’ the issues I had discussed in the original posting with our servers which had undergone a Physical to Virtual migration.

So far I’ve tried two things:

  • Disable Symantec Antivirus
  • Switch the HAL of the server from ACPI Multiprocessor to ACPI Uniprocessor

I happened across the second option through some google searches. Have a look at the following URLs:

It’s only been 1 day so far, but our wwoods-dc2 server I had talked about before is now humming in the 0-25% CPU utilization range. This seems to be a huge difference from what it was running at previously. Disabling Symantec Antivirus wasn’t noticeable. Read the rest of this entry »

Virtualization Presentation

Matt Jones | October 12, 2006

I am putting together a virtualization presentation for IT people in education settings at the moment. I’m going to overview what virtualization is, what options are available (VMware, Microsoft, Xen), and describe the project we executed this summer (What, Why, How). I hope to make it as accessible as possible and get those that might not be exposed to emerging technologies like virtualization, excited about the subject.

I have submitted a request for a session at the eTech Ohio Educational Technology Conference. I hope it gets accepted.

I will be presenting this next week (October 18th, 2006) at SOITA. More information should be available at this page when they update it!

If anyone has materials that may be useful (especially virtualization related clipart), send me an email. Contact information is available using the button above.
