All of our applications nodes have enough CPU and RAM resources in order to run more than one virtual machine. The initial goal is to virtualize the following HW/Environments:
#node 1
- node : sakai-dev/test/intg
...
- node : smartsite-beta (provided with Banner data but for users to play with), needed by March
...
- node : most of the supporting scripts, apache to run maintenance pages, ucd-gateway, and ucd-help -- production executables
...
- node : redundant of node 3
...
- node : sakai-beta 2.5.x -- one release ahead of our current release
...
- node : smartsite-beta 2.5.x
...
- node : sakai contrib -- new tools that we don't have in prod yet but we want to evaluate, using stubing for this now
...
- node : smartsite contrib -- Tools: SCORM and course evaluation
