OpenNebula IRC Session, May 9, 2011
===================================

[DONE] vbernetr: Are there any plans to support hotplug on a VM, be it attaching a block device, a vif, more CPUs, or extra RAM ? How hard would it be to integrate this with the existing core ?

[DONE] vbernetr: the lifecycle system seems pretty tight and is basically a static system. Are there any plans for extending it, to make it hackable (for instance allowing power users to add other states/transitions ?

[DONE] sneumann: dynamic re-scheduling of VMs. where running VMs are chosen (e.g. taken from the most busy node) and the (live-)migration target is determined by the scheduler. This would also allow to disable a node, and "empty" it, by migrating its VMs away to other nodes

[DONE] sneumann: possibly a dynamic CPU determination, based on e.g. the 1,5 or 15mins load of a VM which is then considered by the scheduler. There might be more advanced ways to determine the actual/current/dynamic CPU value...

[DONE] vbernetr: The polling of VMs with Xen 4.0.1 is broken due to xentop output format change. How can I help fix that in an adequate fashion, and get it commited upstream ?

[DONE] ugarit: are there plans to virtualize GPUs?

[DONE] ugarit: are there plans to utilize openstack's object store capabilities?

[DONE] vvuksan: how would I go about changing the deployment.0 template ?

[DONE] koushik: How about providing autoscaling feature like similar to based on some load or trigger saving the VM to a file and launching multiple instances ( as requested by user ). Currently with save and resume option we can run only once.

[DONE] dtenney: Will version 2.4 work with VMware VCenter and ESXi 4.1?

[DONE] vbernetr: will there be an easy upgrade path from 2.2 to 2.4 ?

[DONE] koushik: Does hybrid cloud setup required VPN between Opennebula and EC2. I am confused with two different documentation provided for hybrid cloud in opennebula. http://opennebula.org/documentation:rel2.2:ec2g this link refers to adding EC2 drivers to ONE makes hybrid config where as other doc contains info abt VPN and NIS required for hybrid ?

[DONE] koushik: I would like to demonstrate load balancing using hybrid cloud. I have opennebula private cloud setup working and have EC2 working account. I would  like to know how I can acheive  load balancing on VM using opennebula

[DONE] vvuksan: how do I access network settings from the Vnet template inside the VM ie. looking at /mnt/context/context.sh I don't see any values for NETAMSK, GATEWAY

[DONE] alzuin: I have a question too: will version 2.4 work with XEN 4.1? Expecially with the new xl command? Any plan to use remus for better VM HA?

[DONE] koushik: In hybrid environment Due to high load If I have to start a clone of existing running vm in ec2. I need to save a vm to disk and then convert it to AMI and then start it in EC2 using Open nebula commands(EC2 drivers). Is there any other method apart from this.
