The fourth edge and second core are in a standalone XS machine which doesn't depend on the SAN (which also houses NFSEN, Observium, and the 2k8 vm which I manage the cluster from). Gives a decent amount of redundancy :) That said, when MT finally sort out making the BGP daemon threaded, I'll buy a bunch of CCR1009's just so it's all hardware based :) On 26 August 2015 at 09:02, Alex Samad - Yieldbroker < Alex.Samad@yieldbroker.com> wrote:
Yep I have a cluster and have my ROS VM as highest priority. Also with 5.5 you can set them to high latency sensitivity, pin their memory and reserve some CPU freq.
And add them in a first to restart upon vm host restart.

- That's a VMWare thing - have it auto power on your VMs...
