Max number of Linux guests?

Hi -

I have what may be a unique problem to solve, and I can't seem to find the answer. So before I go spend a lot of time finding this limit on my own, I thought I'd ask and see if it is a lost cause.

I need to run 32+ linux guests on one Vbox host. These are not going to be process intensive or memory intensive. In fact, they are each only required to have 32M of RAM. They are stripped-down debian guests with no GUI, the sole purpose is to provide an iSCSI initiator in order to load up concurrent user logins for a product we are testing.

The host is a 3.2GHz Xeon with 6GB of RAM and should have more than enough horsepower to do this job.

On VMWare Server 2, the limitation seems to be about 20. Once I get beyond about 20 of these tiny linux VMs, then randomly they begin to get completely starved for CPU and memory and just quit working. I can reboot them and they recover, but then another one will quit. So there appears to be a nearly hard-limit with VMWare Server 2 of about 20 guest OSs. I have briefly investigated ESXi for this purpose but I have not made a conclusion yet.

Ideally, I would like to be able to run 64 of these linux guests on one host, and they all need to be responsive but not fast. They just have to do an iSCSI login and then copy data from /dev/urandom to the iSCSI target.

So is this a pipe dream in Vbox? Or is it in the realm of possibility? If it is possible, I will give it a shot. But I don't want to spend a day or two configuring it to wind up at another dead end.

Thanks!

In the manual for vbox 3.2beta2 they talk about a limit of 120 guests on solaris hosts and how to raise it. So I think your goal should be attainable.
But no guarantee as I have never tested it.

OK, it doesn't quite work...

I managed to get my 33 VMs copied over and working under VBox but they won't all start. They are all identical except for the ip addresses.

My goal is to run 33 of these at least, and ideally I'd like 64 of them.

I managed to get about 23 of them to start, then ran into this same failure when try to start each one beyond 23:

Hi there,

Did you ever get this sorted? I'm having the same problem.

Cheers

There is more to it than just the 32 MB that you are assigning the guest.
You need to also take into account the process memory that VirtualBox uses to run the guest.
To test this I set my Ubuntu 10.04 server at 64 MB (it will not start at 32) and calculated the actual memory usage
Host (htop) shows the following:
  • Mem before starting the guest = 328MB
    Mem after starting the guest = 465MB
    A difference of 137MB instead of 64
You also need to take into account the amount of threads that you are using on the processor. You don't specify how many cores but this you can look up on the Intel site.
Either way it sounds like you have choked the host out of resources. Increasing the processors (not just the speed) and memory will allow you to proceed from what I have been told.

Thanks for your comments.

I really appreciate your inputs and I need to solve this problem, so if you have further comments that might be useful, please do let me know.

My config is:

Intel Quad Core Processor with 8GB RAM.

The processor is basically idle all the time, and the ram usage is 1.5GB with 8 VM's running (12 VCPU's), so there's lots of RAM free.

All VM's use bridged networking.

I feel that I am missing something basic.

Post the complete log file of the failed guest (as an attachment) and one of the good ones.

The vrc=VERR_MAP_FAILED could mean anything. I think it has to do with the memory pages but the DEVs are the only ones that can tell you that for sure.
You can post a ticket at bugtracker and let them see the information. You will need to setup an account there as it is on a different system. Be sure to post the log files of the good on and the bad one (BUT be sure to post it as an attachment as you were supposed to do here). They are really strict about the log files. Also post the ticket number here so others can benefit from this. You could post this link in you ticket as well to help them.

Thank you PerryG,

As suggested I logged a ticket. Here is the link for anyone that is interested:

zakiwi, don't crosspost. Having the same issue discussed in two threads is not helping at all. See my reply in your own topic. I've also locked it because it's a duplicate of what you're saying here.

I managed to get my 33 VMs copied over and working under VBox but they won't all start. They are all identical except for the ip addresses.

My goal is to run 33 of these at least, and ideally I'd like 64 of them.

I managed to get about 23 of them to start, then ran into this same failure when try to start each one beyond 23:
for curiousity created 42 guests 64MB booting dsl-4.4.10.iso, all up and running on Debian Squeeze amd64 host:

Re: Max number of Linux guests?

Hi Fixedwheel.

Appreciate your comments. I don't agree with your assessment though, and PAE gives the kernel the ability to use up to 64GB ram on i386, but each process is limited to about 3.2 GB. As I understand it, each virtual machine runs in it's own process.

I may however have to go to 64 bit, and quite frankly I was on 64, but found that the GUI was buggy and that was a big problem as I develop on this machine.

Kind regards

Zakiwi

Hi,

linux does it by temporarily mapping highmem pages (above 896MB) into lowmem (sub 896MB) and you may even run out of lowmem on machines with much RAM ... i386 highmem as far as i understand is a real PITA
and quite frankly I was on 64, but found that the GUI was buggy and that was a big problem as I develop on this machine.
hmm... you may develop it in a 32bit guest? ;)
