Yeah it's a production cluster with 4 nodes running 1.9. We are awaiting new HP servers along with a HP SAN. We will build the new cluster with 2.x and migrate the VMs to the new cluster. We are actually testing 2.x in our labs with old equipments. But until then, the production servers are...

Hello, The server went down again.... with the same output in the logs. It's an Adaptec 6504 on a SuperMicro board (almost new with dual X5672 proc). I did a firmware update a few months ago on the raid card, I will check tomorrow if any other updates are available for the card and the mb...

Any plan to write a wiki about best practices for upgrading a production cluster/server from 1.9.x 2.x when it's gonna be stable ?

So there's no way to upgrade a cluster, let say 5 nodes running 1.9.x to 2.x ?

OH one question guys, when Proxmox 2.x will become stable, it will be possible to upgrade from 1.9.x to 2.x with minimum downtime ?

OK guys, here is the final setup : 1x HP StorageWorks SAN Smart Array P2000 G3 FC/iSCSI w/ 12x300GB SAS 15K SSF 1x HP Proliant DL385 G7 Server 2x Opteron 6238 w/ 24GB RAM & HDD (+ our currents SuperMicro nodes (4x)) 2x Cisco Switch WS-C2960S-24TS-L (4x SFP) + APC UPS/PDU Kit All of this for...

Read the very first post of this thread, it's for VPS hosting (KVM), everything is explained. :)

For my situation, buy is a must, for sure! We are a startup and can't afford stress and long downtime if something happen. From this, we have Dell, HP, Supermicro, QNAP... what else ? Things to consider, need fiber channel and IO performance is a must!

Hello, We have 30K$ budget to expand a current setup and I'm looking for advices about the storage. Right now we have 4 servers working as a promox VE 1.9.x cluster with the following specs : 1U SuperMicro Barebone Dual Intel Xeon X5672 Processors 48GB RAM 4 X 320GB 15K Adaptec 6504 Raid-10...

Bump, I'm interested about the same setup, right now we use 4 nodes and all VMs are located on each node's local filesystem. I have a budget of 20,000$ to expand our setup and I would like to move ALL vm's on a NAS or SAN. In bref, I what CPU/RAM processing by the nodes and external storage for...
