ESX 3.0 Beta Test dates closing in!



16th Feb we can get started with the ESX 3.0 Beta Testing. I got a 3rd reminder email and I'm very curious to get my hands on ESX 3.0!

What I have not been able to fix is a couple of fast Boxes where I can do my Oracle RAC installation on RHEL 4.0 or Windows 2003 or Solaris 9/10 for that matter. I do have a multiple CPU box but the specs are a bit old. I will definitely be able to test and run this ESX 3.0 on it. No problems there at all , its just the performance testing that might be a problem.

Anyways anyone who has lots of resources (think new servers which are lying around, waiting for to be deployed) to spare (who doesn't?) can always give me a call. I could help you set it up and do some real good performance testing. :-)

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

OS Virtualization comparison: Parallels' Virtuozzo vs the rest

Virtuozzo's main differentiators versus hypervisors center on overhead, virtualization flexibility, administration and cost. Virtuozzo requires significantly less overhead than hypervisor solutions, generally in the range of 1% to 5% compared with 7% to 25% for most hypervisors, leaving more of the system available to run user workloads. Customers can also virtualize a wider range of applications using Virtuozzo, including transactional databases, which often suffer from performance problems when used with hypervisors. On the administration side, customers need to manage, maintain and secure just a single OS instance, while the hypervisor model requires customers to manage many OS instances. Of course, the hypervisor vendors have worked hard to automate much of this process, but it still requires more effort to manage and maintain multiple operating systems than a single instance. Finally, OS virtualization with Virtuozzo has a lower list price than the leading hypervisor for comme...
