Don't let the Gentoo VM on my VM Server go without updates for a long time again. The update has been going since 9AM EST today and it's now 3:55PM EST And were only on update 75 of 131. This might end up going until 10PM tonight!!!
The VM has 8GB of RAM and a 250GB Virtual Drive so it's probably not the quickest.
The server itself is pretty old too but I figure it'll run Linux VMs for a long time to come.
It;s a Dell PowerEdge R720 with a total of 96GB of RAM, a 500GB a 1TB and a 4TB SCSI Drives and they're mirrored (so 2 of each drive). The VMs run on the 4TB drives. The ISOs are stored onto the 1TB and it boots off the 500GB and all of the OSes main files are there as well (/etc, /boot, /home, /usr, and all of that are on the 500GB Drive).
I've had this setup for about 15 years. It runs IDRAC 7 (Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller version 7). It's a pretty neat system. I just log into it from a browser and away I go. I don't HAVE to keep VMs on my machine. Problem is, it takes a few minutes for it to boot up. So, yeah. There is that. But once its up and running, it runs great. I'm glad I have this little server. I just need to keep things updated...
