Hi,
I'd like to confirm that Zimbra is giving support to Network edition instalations on KVM (specially Proxmox). I'm about to buy the license but I need to run it in a virtualized environment with KVM.

The answer to that is no, it's not supported. You can always confirm the supported platforms in the product documentation or with Zimbra Support, as a trial user you should have access to support.Quote:

As you know Red Hat themselves moved from Xen to KVM and it has evolved very raplidly in the last two years, so one year in a very long time in this matters.

Been running 2x Zimbra installs (Ubuntu 10.04) on Proxmox in kvm for over a year now, runs fine, why wouldnt it? To the software its just like any "real" machine.
As far as I know that bug report is still open because the problem with jython is not resolved, I will add however that I'm (obviously) not a developer and you could always verify that with support.Quote:

Yaroze: thanks for your info, I'm quite sure it may work just fine, the thing is that I pay for a supported version and then I don't get support because it's not in a supported virtual environment, then why paying at first?. In the other hand, I do need features in the ne edition, so this is a chicken and egg problem.
Phoenix: As you are from Zimbra, can you get any extra info on this matter. It's a really big deal to us as our budget can't cover both Zimbra and VMWare virtualization (I'm talking vsphere)

It is, KVM is not a supported platform (it never has been) - that's a definitive answer. If you want the 'official' answer the see my reply to your next comment.Quote:

it's already solved.
from the thread where the issue is discussed:
jython-users - KVM incompatibility with jython?
"
It appears this is because they mounted /tmp noexec, so it is not a KVM
issue at all.
Thanks very much!
