I want to setup Virtualization server. Currently I am using xen with Linux + ZFS... And it uses files instead of ZFS volumes...
Since I'm new to OpenBSD I won't tell you what OpenBSD supports for virtualization but what works for me, hope this helps. Keep in mind my lack of experience in OpenBSD, my (hopefully) long experience with Linux and that I'm in the middle to move from Linux to OpenBSD.
I'm using Debian Wheezy for physical servers and for virtual ones too, for the physical ones I have the minimal installation since everything runs into the virtual machines. I use KVM and LVM, I really like them and I would be happy to see something like that on OpenBSD.
All the OpenBSD servers I have are virtual, some with KVM and a few ones with QEMU, the ones with QEMU run good enough and with no issues despite QEMU being older, the ones running with KVM fly.
This means to me not having a hard time with the hardware since the only purpose of the physical servers is running the virtual ones, and being able to run Linux and OpenBSD together, making it easy to replace Linux servers by OpenBSD servers one by one, not having to replace all or nothing at once.
