Virtualized Resource Allocation

ViResA-mimo

Prerequisites (for real-data workloads)

Server Side:

• Install Xen Hypervisor on each physical machine (web server, database server)
• Create DomUs-VMs to host the server applications (Apache, MySQL)
• Set the domain names and IP addresses of the DomUs in server_consolidation.py
• Setup a physical machine (remote server) and create ssh connections with the other server physical machines (web server, database server)
• Copy viresa folder to the root directory of Dom0 on each physical machine (VM1, VM2) and to the remote server

Client Side:

• Copy RUBiS (Client-Side) folder to the root directory
• Install screen

Description

The ViResA (Virtualized [server] Resource Allocation) project studies the performance of various methods for state estimation of the usage and allocation in virtualized servers. Resource Allocation can be predicted using synthetic workloads, or real-data workloads via RUBiS auction site application.

How do I get set up?

• VM1 - Web Server tier:

  • Install Apache2
  • Copy RUBiS/PHP folder to /var/www/html/
  • Change Database Server IP address in the file PHPprinter.php

• VM2 - Database Server tier:

  • Install MySQL
  • Create user for MySQL
  • Create and populate database (see RUBiS/setup/db/README for more info)

• Client tier:

  • Copy RUBiS folder to the root directory
  • Configure IP addresses, workload scenarios in /RUBiS/Client/rubis.properties
  • Copy initialize.sh to the root directory

• Login to the remote server, go to the viresa directory and run server_consolidation.py in terminal
