In the process of upgrading my environment to 4.0 and I'm seeing the same thing..

Hi :) As far as I know, when you start/stop a VM (KVM or OpenVZ) prox is just starting the KVM/OpenVZ process. E.g. /usr/bin/kvm -id 403 -chardev socket,id=qmp,path=/var/run/qemu-server/403.qmp,server,nowait -mon chardev=qmp,mode=control -vnc unix:/var/run/qemu-server/403.vnc,x509,password...

Have a look at man vzdump & check out https://openvz.org/Backup_of_a_running_container_with_vzdump You might have to use the --suspend or --stop option to force a VM shutdown to complete the backup.

You can also check ifconfig and see what interfaces you have.. you will see in my config here I have some VLANed interfaces that are assigned to VMs. root@proxnode1:~# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:26:9e:b5:e1:f0 inet6 addr: fe80::226:9eff:feb5:e1f0/64 Scope:Link...

If you are using OpenVZ container you will have to search around these forums as I believe its been discussed before but is a little different to set up...

If your proxmox node is in a "Trunk mode" switch port you should be able to tag the VLANs within the Network Adaptors. VM > Hardware > VLAN Tag In my setup I have: Proxmox Node into a Trunk Port.. its PVID is 10 here and my node sits on my 10.10.1.*/24 subnet. I have tagged on this port VLAN...

Glad I could help!

Why not do it under the GUI? VM > Hardware > Move > Location: local (I'm assuming) / Format: RAW) You can manually edit your config to ref the raw disk, its located in either /etc/pve/nodes/nodename/qemu-server/*.conf or /etc/vz/conf/

Congrats :) Are you migrating online? I just migrated one one of my VMs from Node1 to Node2 online and the log show: <code> Oct 19 21:47:32 starting migration of VM 401 to node 'proxnode2' (10.10.1.52) Oct 19 21:47:32 copying disk images Oct 19 21:47:32 starting VM 401 on remote node...

From the wiki as this will explain better than I: Main purpose of multipath connectivity is to provide redundant access to the storage devices, i.e to have access to the storage device when one or more of the components in a path fail. Another advantage of multipathing is the increased...

Have you checked out all the different ways in: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migration_of_servers_to_Proxmox_VE Also, if its a fully configured server i'd go for KVM.

Once you have created the VM in Proxmox as stated by symmcom you can add another disk in by going to the VM > Hardware > Add > Hard Drive Then you will ssh into your system and move /path/to/ovh.vmdk to /var/lib/vz/*VMID*/vm-id-disk-number.vmdk and then using the web interface to go VM >...

Christophe, Thank you.. I think i understand it clearer now. Appreciate your time.

OK.. Last night I changed Node2 to use 10.10.142.112 for its SAN IP. It can connect and see the storage array (without having to route anymore) so theoretically I should get the best performance here. On my Node3 i added a new iSCSI target and got it to use *almost* the same details, this...

Is the disk image to this stored locally on the server or across a NFS/SAN? If the disk image is stored external to the server can you try moving it locally?
