Asterisk

ReaderMan, 2011-12-29 14:38:10

Good afternoon friends!
Such a question: did anyone put Asterisk on a virtual machine in VirtualBox and did it work as intended with
SIP telephony?
I want to, before I start getting iron from the manual, show on a virtual machine how good it is, etc ...
If they installed it and it worked, then in what configuration?

It is now spinning in Virtualbox on the laptop. It costs ubuntu server 11.10 + asterisk 1.8.4.4 - everything is ok to study.

As practice shows, it is better to keep the asterisk on real pieces of iron.
somehow everyone is talking about it.
or keep it in the same esx as one virtual machine per piece of iron.

Well, PCI forwarding is there, so I don't see any problems. I just didn't understand the question. If you just need to show asterisk as a SIP server, then at least run it on openvz.
I have a personal sip server (only trunks, choice of cheap destinations, voicemail) - works fine on a KVM virtual machine.

It will work, but the sound may stutter. The asterisk depends on the exact time source. And on a virtual machine, this will be a problem.

They will be shown on one channel, so it's not a problem - it will work.
But for a productive system, it's better to put * on a separate piece of iron.

Works on xen without problems.

I read somewhere that it works better on Openvz than on, say, Xen.

It costs and works great on XEN and KVM, as many as 6 machines. on XEN I did not do PCI forwarding (there was no need), on KVM forwarding 410p PCI 4FXO works fine.
On VirtualBox, in principle, there is a forwarding, but you can only check how it will work empirically, for lack of specific data from people using this miracle in production. But I think it should work.

It works successfully on xen, and even in hvm, since it didn’t start right away with a self-assembled kernel in pv, and it was too lazy to mess around. Used by sip and h323 on avaya.
