I have completed the prototyping of openldap, samba/pdc, on a VirtualBox appliance. The setup works fine with 4-5 different desktop clients connecting to the services.
Appliance details: VirtualBox 3.0.6 - 512MB RAM, 8MB Video RAM, 9GB VDI with 1GB Swap and CentOS 5.3 64bit).
I am considering deploying this appliance into production with 1GB RAM. The no. of clients connecting to the server will be approx. 150.
Has anyone deployed openLDAP + Samba/PDC in a VirtualBox appliance?
I'd appreciate if you could share your experience, gotchas etc with respect to an appliance environment as well as resources allocated to the appliance e.g. amount of RAM.
I have virtualized OpenLDAP deplyomentos using Xen hypervisor, running Debian Lenny with about 300 users, LDAP is used for samba+pdc, postfix, squid, jabber, of course we have replicas on another xen host.
PD. I only use virtuabox for testing and gaming never for production.
TIA
