[asterisk-users] Should I move to 1.6 or 1.8, or stay with 1.4?

[Bruce Komito]

We now run VMWare ESXi 4.0 on HP Proliant DL360 G5 and have not had any issues.   A couple of years ago, we tried OpenVZ, but did not have good results.  Don't ask to me explain what the problem was, because that was the problem...we couldn't figure it out.  It was just unexplained erratic Asterisk behavior that we did not experience on dedicated hardware.  And, we were not using any PRI or other boards...just plain old SIP and IAX.  It could have been OpenVZ or it could have been something we did, but the result was the same.

Did you use VMWare's hypervisor? I have no experience with it but I'll be using Proxmox with no KVM, just OpenVZ because the server's processors don't support hardware virtualization. I have worked for someone before with Asterisk 1.4s running on Proxmox, and there was no issue regarding virtulization of asterisk. Plus I am not using DAHDI or PRI, just plain SIP and IAX.

We moved a 1.4 installation to a VMWare environment some time ago and it was fairly uneventful.  Still, if it were me, I wouldn't change too many things at once and I would first wait until what I currently run is stable under VM.   Once stable, I wouldn't hesitate to upgrade and that's one of the nice things about running in a virtual environment.  It's makes upgrades such as that really easy, both from the standpoint of moving forward and reverting back, if necessary.

Hi list,


I am planning a migration to virtual machines, and was considering with it to move from 1.4 to one...
