[15:51:59] <kaduk> I guess "we" (i.e., Jason) haven't made much progress migrating the master to the machine at MIT...
[16:03:23] <Jeffrey Altman> the virtualization host suffered a raid failure last week and recovering from that has been painful.  there was no data loss but getting all of the services restored has not been fun.
[16:03:57] <Jeffrey Altman> each time I reconfigure the host I need to shutdown the VMs and that is a multi-hour cycle
[16:04:06] <kaduk> I can imagine so...
[16:04:07] <Jeffrey Altman> I'm still not happy with how things are configured.
[16:04:43] <Jeffrey Altman> I'm considering migrating from VMWare to HyperV in order to provide for live VM migration.
[16:07:08] <kaduk> Somehow I thought ESX could do live migration, but I am rather removed from the operational side of things, here.
[16:08:20] <kaduk> Maybe I'm just thinking of the live mirroring of a VM between two different hosts.
[16:10:04] <Jeffrey Altman> Server 2012 R2 HyperV is built-in and with a pool of three hosts and sufficient storage it will automate the migration of VMs as updates are applied to the host OS.   Its a neat feature.
[16:10:14] <Jeffrey Altman> of course I need to purchase a third host.
[16:10:29] <kaduk> That is pretty neat, yeah.
[16:11:04] <kaduk> I find it interesting that Microsoft is contributing code to FreeBSD to get it running as a HyperV guest.
[16:12:00] <Jeffrey Altman> Microsoft provided code to Linux to get it to run as a HyperV guest
[16:12:12] <kaduk> *nods*
[16:12:22] <Jeffrey Altman> Microsoft's future is in Azure.
[16:13:00] <Jeffrey Altman> That is another neat feature of HyperV which is the ability to migrate / clone VMs across local hardware and Azure.
[16:13:15] <kaduk> Also handy
[16:32:01] <ballbery> vmotion used to be an added cost addition to esx, but is included in the latest version(s) as I understand it. (possibly due to pressure from hyperv)
