Your instance types, networking environment, hypervisor type and version
722 722 
may all affect what kind of parameters should be used on your cluster.

For example kvm instances are by default configured to use a host


  		





  725
  
  
    
kernel, and to be reached via serial console, which works nice for Linux


  		





  726
  
  
    
paravirtualized instances. If you want fully virtualized instances you


  		





  727
  
  
    
may want to handle their kernel inside the instance, and to use VNC.

  Some versions of KVM have a bug that will make an instance hang when


  		





  
  732
  
    
  configured to use the serial console (which is the default) unless a


  		





  
  733
  
    
  connection is made to it within about 2 seconds of the instance's


  		





  
  734
  
    
  startup. For such case it's recommended to disable the


  		





  
  735
  
    
  ``serial_console`` option.
