Within each cluster there are a number of physical machines (vClusterA: pMachine1, pMachine2). I've been asked to set up another virtualised environment using the same serve...

Windows: Is it *possible* to create a (virtual) video card driver?

i want to create a virtual monitor. The way this would work is that the virtual monitor would appear in a window on my desktop. As far as Windows knows it is just another monitor. It occurs to me that it would, as a practical matter, have to be done as video card driver (i.e. rather than the video going out a wire to an LCD panel, it wo...

Automatic provisioning of xen in private cloud

I am setting up private cloud for some experiments using xen as the hosting system. But I am faced with a problem for which I can't seem to get solutions.

I've got application A which runs application B as a console app. I'd like to write unit tests as part of application A which validate the input to/output from application B, but application B uses hard coded paths to look for some of its inputs.

XCeed and the DataGridVirtualizingQueryableCollectionView

With a large set of tables in a SQL database, I've implemented the DataGridVirtualizingCollectionView to 'lazy load' where needed into the WPF front end using XCeeds DataGrid for WPF.

How to increase the buffer in Virtualized Flex 4 Layouts

Virtualized Layouts are nice, but I find that they often feel a bit "chunky" due to the "tightness" of the virtual range. This could be improved by increasing the range - one or two steps ahead (and behind) would often be enough to improve the "responsiveness" of the list, especially when external resources (like images) need to be loade...

Does it makes sense to use a single physical box in both DMZ and Secured Zone

Hi, I was sitting in a presentation where i was told it is ok to have a physical box (virtualized into two) where one resides in the DMZ zone and the other resides in the secured zone. I found that such an approach smells bad. Is there any production environment that uses such an approach. I don't have a lot of experience in this spac...

How to run multiple instances of a process?

Hi, I have a java application (a genetic algorithm, to be precise) that periodically starts a native process (the fitness function), waits for it to complete and reads the file it outputs.

I inherited a xen server that is setup to have all the VM images hosted on an iSCSI mounted NAS array.

I have only found the file arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_para.h in linux kernel? Is it similar to the system call of linux? How can I call these functions ...
