If you're looking to run your own hypervisor I'd suggest something
called Proxmox. Its open source / linux based and allows you to
create both openvz and kvm containers via a nifty web interface.

<div>I've used OpenSimulator in a variety of virtual machines,
from KVM to OpenVZ to VirtualBox to EC2. In general
performance is less than when running in bare hardware but
everything usually works. I've seen some issues with timer
accuracy in some virtual machines in the past and had to
compile a custom linux kernel to get around it, but I think
recent virtualization technology has probably fixed this.
Some technologies like OpenVZ I found very difficult to work
with in general and I prefer to stick with the KVM style
approach where the host OS kernel is set up to allow a
"closer to the metal" virtualization.<br>
<br>
</div>
I think virtual machines are good for lower performance
installations where fewer avatars and scripts are expected.
and bare metal should be used where higher performance is
needed.<br>
<br>
</div>
Often hosting companies will oversell and you may get a lot less
performance than you would expect from their advertised
specifications. If performance is poor with one company, try
others. The cheapest deal is usually far from the best.<br>

OpenSimulator run under different virtual machines (Xen and
EC2). Back a few years ago, there was a very odd issue when
using EC2 where the simulator process wouldn't certain start
context switching millions of times and freeze out all other
processes, though that may have been a mono issue rather
than EC2.<br>

Other than that, it appears to work just fine as long as you
give it sufficient CPU resources, as is the case when
running on bare metal.

Hi all<br>
<br>
I wad wondering if anyone had much experience with
running OpenSim under a<br>
virtual machine? I'm interested in finding out what
sort of performance<br>
can be expected from running in that sort of
environment and how far it<br>
can be pushed without too many issues.<br>
