Yes, I agree but I am running Linux (CentOS) and have Xen loaded but am not using it. The Solaris version using sparse zones, even though it is very trim, still has overheads over and above just running another application. In my instance, memory is very tight so two apps seems the most wise approach.

Actually it depends on the model of virtualiziation For example in case of using FreeBSD jails or Solaris zones you won't have any problems with dedicating memory/cpu or running separate instant of the OS ...

Actually, this is where I started....
But it seems such a shame to tie up a fixed amount of memory, disk etc and have the extra burden of another copy of OS as well as the bridged network etc just to run another instance of an application.
Unix is a wonderful OS and is so good at scaling I just don't see this as a good use of virtualisation (IMHO)
I have gone down the path of recompiling for the second install. There were only about seven entries in the Makefile to modify from memory (not including the port number)

Hi,
Has anyone actually tried this?
I started mucking around with it today but I don't believe it is as
easy
as
it sounds. The original directory "/opt/hobbit/server" seems to be hardcoded into lots and lots of files, including compiled into binaries. I don't see how cloning the hobbit home directory would give you a reliable configuration.
I am guessing that the only way to do this would be to reconfigure, make, make install. This would not be my preference but if there is no other way...
Comments?

All you need to do is give each instance's hobbitd daemon a unique
port to
listen to and then make sure everything is talking to the right port and putting files in the correct directories. Probably the easiest way to do this is to just clone the Hobbit home directory, then change BBPORT and BBHOME for the clone.
Thanks, Larry Barber

Hi,
Is is possible to run 2 hobbit servers on the same server ? I need a hobbit server for our SLA servers and an other hobbit server for the rest. And I want to run in on the same server. I copied the server directory and changed all the needed files. Each hobbit server is listening on an other port.
However, the client information is ending up on1 hobbit server. I think this has to with the way the hobbit daemons are communicating with each other.
