That's just a vendor trying "sell" more.
You should be able to buy as little as 1 or as many as you desire, you may not like the price of 1, but that's a whole diff topic.

K25 Cinnamon on my 2015 MBP.

K25 Cinnamon & Gnome on this machine w dual 30" (beta Fedora 26 had a few to minor issues):

Ok, got it fixed.
I was treating the allocation like I would in Hyper-V, KVM is slightly different.

Setting the Current & Max allocation to the same amounts, 8 or 16, fixed things up.

My "desktop" lab:

One of my machines in the "garage" DC:

It's official...
Fedora 26 is released: https://getfedora.org/
Time to download & upgrade from beta

Trying to decide whether to go back to F26 or wait for K26...

What are the main points for picking one over the other?

Desktop choice would be Cinnamon or Gnome (unless there are better reasons to look at others)

Xero will import from QB for free now!

That's great news, I think they used to charge like $30?

Only for companies with 3 sockets or less...is that a typo?

A lot of folks are talking but no one is saying anything...

Who owns Hostadillo? (Me thinks thats what the OP is "trying" to ask

Hopefully, before they shut the doors maybe they'll "open source" their KVM + HTML5 GUI !

Does Nutanix really have some tech of real interest?

They were able to create a GUI for KVM.
Not sure why no one else has one!
You'd think RedHat would have a GUI for KVM.

KVM GUI managers
Open Source: Virt-Manager
Closed Source: @scale

Just real quick off the top of my head.

edited my posts to say "HTML5 GUI"
@scale doesn't count since it's closed source.

Gotcha. Now I see what you mean.

We need an "XO" for KVM

Anyone using or testing this? http://compuverde.com/products/

SDS is a dining concept at best. With all major hypervisors having some built-in preferred virtual SAN tech spending money and time on anything third-party is... Waste of time at best. You have to have a reason. What's your reason?

The Microsoft version of "virtual SAN" isn't what one would call cheap?

What's the trick to creating a new guest from an existing .qcow2 image?
This is a Fedora26 image (firmware/chipset: EFI/Q35)

Using virt-manager, creating new vm & selecting existing image does not work.
I get an error "System BootOrder not found"

@wls-itguy said in Screenshot/Video Capture for tutorials:

I'm sure this is a very basic question among the people that hang here. However, I am trying to write up some tutorials for the students here and would like to capture the actions on my screen into video but be able to zoom in on certain areas so I am not screenshotting the whole thing.

Anyone got some recommendations?

On a Mac, hands down, Screenflow would be my choice...https://www.telestream.net/screenflow/overview.htm

@tim_g said in Manage KVM through Cockpit:

I don't have a Fedora machine on me atm, can someone do a "dnf search cockpit" and show me the results? (if there's not too much output)

@emad-r said in Manage KVM through Cockpit:

@fateknollogee said in Manage KVM through Cockpit:

Maybe for virtualized Windows guest that needs console acces? Does cockpit provides that feature?

Yes it does.

Do you have this setup ? can you post screenshot with this feature ?

Also on Fedora vm's

I haven't read the docs so this might be a stupid question...

Orange, Yellow & Pink each contain 2 hosts, correct?

You need to always add 2 hosts every time you scale up/out?
