So you can select where you want to run a specific VM. Then you have VM on KVM, XEN etc.. based on the AZ. <div><br></div><div>Remo </div><div><br><div><div>On Jun 13, 2014, at 7:41, O'Reilly, Dan <<a href="mailto:Daniel.OReilly@dish.com">Daniel.OReilly@dish.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple" style="font-family: CourierNewPSMT; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">I realize there have been some discussions on this in the recent past, but it has become somewhat difficult to follow.

From what I’ve read, qemu is the best (only) approach for this. At this point, I have all the necessary packages installed and working on everything but the compute nodes. What I need to do is to build an KVM node and a Xen node first, then worry about VMware later.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">So, I need a definitive build cookbook for bringing up LVM and Xen nodes using qemu. Right now when I try to launch instances they just get funky errors and die. Can I pick any/all the brains of you out n OpenStack land?<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Thanks!<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Dan O'Reilly<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">UNIX Systems Administration<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;"><span><image001.jpg></span><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">9601 S.
