Geo on a virtual server

Recommended Posts

We have a customer who insisted in putting goevision on a virtual server all IP cameras of course. Has anyone done this successfully? I don't know all the details but the unit has both geo cameras and some Axis cameras and is using the usb license key.

I am a GV-NVR noob, but I know a bit about virtual servers.

 

From a compatibility perspective, I see no reason why it would not work.

 

You never know what might happen in resource contention situations though.

 

If you do get it working and finding you are having odd performance issues, make sure you set some decent reservations so that you can guarantee a certain level of performance to the VM. Also make sure that you have enough IOPs on whatever array is backing the recordings, I know it is sequential write access but unless it is dedicated, the disks will be doing other requests at the same time as trying to write the recording. Or just use dedicated disks....

 

It is largely about being sensible in how you allocate resources to the VM
