Hi --

I'm just a little nervous about deploying my Xen VMs.  Will they perform
when in actual production?  How stable is Xen, really?

So, I thought I would do some stress testing before deploying it.  I'd
like to test VMs running various services, alone and all together...
DNS, HTTP/S, Tomcat, IMAP/SMTPD.

Does anyone here have suggestions for load generating software?  Or, has
anyone done this already?

The system is a Dell 2950 with 2 x Xeon 2.66GHz CPU's, RAID 5, 4G RAM.
Dom0 and all DomU's are CentoOS 5  2.6.18-8.1.8.el5xen. Xen version is 3.03.

I've not tried under Xen, but I used to really like the old Cerberustesting suite, available athttp://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5317.
