Hi All, I have already worked out the issue, but thought I would post in case anyone else has this issue as I didn't see any similar post. I was just trying to resize a disk (nice feature) on a VM in proxmox 2.3. The disk is qcow format. I was getting this error: qmp command 'block_resize'...

The fenc device works .. I can use it to power up and down the machine and check status from cli. How long should it take to realise its offline?

Hi, I ran a test and It didnt seem to auto fence a machine when I powered it down. Hence didnt start it on the 2nd machine. If I manually fence the primary server then the 2nd one does take over correctly so its just a fencing issue.. any ideas? config:

Thanks for the prompt reply

Hi, I setup a HA cluster from reading: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/High_Availability_Cluster etc. I have a 3 host setup running 2.1. DRDB is on 2 of the servers mirroring a VMs disk. I have set that VM up as a cluster managed machine, but it seems to try to bring the machine up on the 3rd...

Hi, I have a similar issue. I checked the setting though and its already set to 0. Setting it to a high value solves the problem, but setting it to 0 does not allow unlimited for me. I have 2 node cluster ver 2.1-1 edit.. also FYI, the VM im backing up is a windows server. I had backed up...

Oh, so sales were not telling me the truth I guess. They told me before I purchased it that I would get priority service with a community subscription. There are also no additional links or anything on my control panel.. just as a note. It is effectivly only a donation isnt it and gives you...

Hi Tom, I have the community support package (forum only). Do I need to link this in some way to my post/account on forum ?

nope, its still not fixed. I cant re create the cluster. :(

Think I worked it out and also replied to another thread. See my solution here: http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/9567-help-emergency?p=54069#post54069 still left wondering if support subscription makes any difference and if so how ??

Hi, I had similar and think I worked it out.. You need to start the cluster file system in Local mode. First stop it.. # /etc/init.d/pve-cluster stop then start in Local mode # /usr/bin/pmxcfs -l then remove (or backup etc) your cluster.conf # mv /etc/pve/cluster.conf ~/ Then stop and...

btw, I have purchased support subscription.. how do i link this to my forum account ??

Hi, I had a 2 host cluster setup and working. I wanted to change the cluster to use my LAN IPs (was using my WAN nic I think). Long story short, I thought it would be a good idea to delete the cluster and start again.. but it went wrong and now im stuck. I went to host1 and deleted host2. I...

Hi Thanks, I dont have quorum issues and I have done the howto on setting the cluster to only expect 1 vote (as described http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Two-Node_High_Availability_Cluster). I can access the cluster but just cant offline transfer that machine, which for my purpose makes it no use...

Thanks, Im working on getting Fencing setup for our servers but may not be possible for all. Are there any options for manually failing over a server if you dont have the technology for fencing? It sounds simple in my head, but I appreciate things are usually not as simple as they seem. Thanks
