      @travisdh1 would that be Brian?

      I think so. It's missing from my stack of business cards, so I'm not sure. Probably gave it away to someone that had an actual project.

        @travisdh1 Northeast Ohio would've probably been Shane Weinbrecht.

          how is the windows server performance on Scale HC using KVM? Considering it uses VirtIO drivers by default for both disk and network.

          Is there a driver install package that runs on the guest OS? I asked these questions during the webinar and was honestly never given a straight answer beyond - it integrates and works...

          For a linux guest OS, I know, typically the VirtIO disk and VirtIO network adaptor would provide best performance (in most cases). However, on windows its different. But I suppose, that with the disks being local to the nodes; the performance is essentially nearly same as a non guest OS?

            Yes, there is. If you have an HC3 and watch, a driver ISO gets created and added to your media pool silently in the background and mounts to your Windows VM to install them there.

              Adding @scale as they have a handy alias.

                And what do you do with the watch?

                  @ntoxicator the VirtIO drivers are mounted as a virtual CD & you simply pick the versions appropriate for the VM during the OS install (windows). For Linux, BSD, et.al. the drivers are already in those kernels and have been since 2007 or so.

                    We are very excited to see this up and running. Looking forward to seeing how it gets used!

                      For Minecraft servers of the highest order...

                      What else could it possibly be used for....

                          Can we petition NTG to run a modded Minecraft server on their Scale Cluster? For "testing" purposes?

                            I bet we could stress test it for them!

                                  Bwahaha. I wonder how many Scale clusters out there actually have Minecraft on them somewhere. That would be an interesting study.

                                  We have Minecraft and Pocketmine both running (in separate VMs.)

                                      I thought that was PocketMine! I'll have to check it out. I'm guessing this is vanilla Minecraft? I even commented on it how did I miss that?

                                        Works with the standard client, wherever it runs.. the Java client. We have been testing it from Windows 10 but the standard client is the same everywhere - the miracle of Java 🙂
