== Resource Independence == Since virtual servers are only guests on the hardware they are using, they are not aware of the specifics: they do not contain disk configurations, kernels or network configurations. One key feature of a virtual server is the independence from the actual hardware. Most hardware issues are irrelevant for a virtual server installation. The main server acts as a host and takes care of all the details. The virtual server is just a client and ignores all the details. As such, the client can be moved to another physical server with very few manipulations. For example, to move the virtual server from one physical computer to another, it sufficient to do the following: * shutdown the running server * copy it over to the other machine * copy the configuration * start the virtual server on the new machine No adjustments to user setup, password database or hardware configuration are required, as long as both machines are binary compatible. Thus, once you have found that a project is using more resource than expected, you can easily move it to another box without tinkering around in hardware configuration files. A virtual server is just a directory on the filesystem of host system. <div class="editsection" style="float:right;margin-left:5px;"> [<nowiki/>[[index.php?title=Usage_Scenarios&action=edit§ion=4|edit]]] </div> <span id="Fail-over_Scenarios"></span> <span id="fail-over-scenarios"></span>
