3.1 - Selecting Hardware
.R
.ihtml h2
Selecting appropriate hardware to run your 9front system on is important, as it can mean the difference between success and failure of a project.
If you are shopping for a new PC, whether you are buying it piece by piece or completely pre-built, you want to make sure first that you are buying reliable parts. In the PC world, this is not easy.
.B
Bad or otherwise unreliable or mismatched parts can make 9front run poorly and crash often.
.R
The best advice we can give is to be careful, and buy brands and parts that have been reviewed by an authority you trust. Sometimes, a higher-price machine is a better quality machine. Other times, it is simply more expensive.
There are certain things that will help bring out the maximum performance of your system:
.ihtml ul <ul>
.IP
.B
Let the application choose the hardware:
.R
It is usually better to make an adjustment to the hardware you were planning on using rather than compromising on your application design because you have something you "really wanted to use."
.B
Identify your bottlenecks:
.R
Don't pay extra for the cutting-edge processor if your application is restricted by disk I/O. Don't pay for fast disk if your system is restricted by network speed. Don't pay for much of anything if your bottleneck is a 300bps dial-up line.
.B
Keep it simple:
.R
Simple hardware usually has simple problems. Complex hardware that isn't supposed to ever break may take you a long time to repair when it breaks anyway.
.B
Use hardware you understand, or learn the new hardware before you implement a production system:
.R
Regardless of the technical merits of the hardware, committing to use a particular type of hardware before you have become familiar with it, both how it works and how it fails, is foolish.
.B
Avoid cheap network adapters:
.R
9front supports a plethora of cheap network adapters. These adapters work great in home systems, and low or moderate throughput business and research environments. But, if you need high throughput and low impact on your server, you are better off buying a quality network adapter. Unfortunately, some name-brand adapters are not much better than the cheap adapters, and some potentially good adapters do not have accurate documentation available to write good drivers. Gigabit adapters often perform better than 10Mbps/100Mbps adapters, even when used on slower speed networks, due to superior buffering.

User networking is the default and works the same on every platform. More advanced options are particular to specific host operating systems; several are described below.
.B
Note:
.R
On many operating systems ICMP is limited to the superuser. One consequence is that a VM running with guest networking cannot ping remote hosts.

to install the windows TAP driver. Create a new TAP interface with the "Add a new TAP virtual ethernet adapter" from the openvpn start menu. Go to the network manager and rename that new TAP interface to something more sane like: "qemu-tap". Configure ip addresses or bridge that interface with the network manager.
Now you should be able to run qemu on that interface:

.QS
.ihtml ul <ul>
just tried with vbox 4.3.18 on windows7. 9front boots fine in BIOS
mode, but the PCnet nic dosnt work. reason is that vbox pIIx pci irq
routing is fucked so the ethernet doesnt get interrupts. if i boot
with *nopcirouting=1, it works fine. theres a option to select the
chipset so i tried ICH9 with IO-APIC enabled. normal mp mode fails
because of broken mp tables, but works with *acpi=. also, it works
with UEFI mode (which always uses ACPI). the usual intel mt server
nic also works (thats what is usually recommended for working arround
the broken ethernet).
pci routing issue has been fixed in latest kernel, should be
available in iso release after 3960.
