Hi everybody, we got a backup job which could not finish (disk full). The perlscript stayed pending (shouldn't we have a timeout here?). Furthermore other sheduled jobs got started cueing up with no chance to ever get processed. In my oppinion there should be a mechanism (semaphore or similar)...

Hi all,i know, software raid is not supported but maybe someone has an idea on how to solve this: I have a fresh install of prxmox on a HP Proliant ML110 G7 with data (LVM) on a Raid1 located on two SSD Samsung 840Pro 512G. Everything seemed fine after creating md0 on /dev/sdb and /dev/sdd but...

We try to get a ONLINE (brand name) Zinto A 800 running with Proxmox host. - Software installs ok. - Webserver and Management environment is up. - Power-on/off events are detected by software. - Mail is sent out. BUT it does not trigger shut down. Support says 'Proxmox not supported...' What...

Hi everybody, we still have some machines running smoothly on 1.9 but this can not last forever. How is the recomended way to go to 3.0? vzdump and qmrestore? Will the new system still read the old backup format? Regards Holger

We are observing a strange behaviour on a HP Server which is newly installed w Proxmox 2.3-13: After installing (installation works fine) windows 7 machines they do not boot. After bios messages they stop at 'booting from harddisk'. We tried different iso files ( which all worked good on a...

Hi all, during a desaster recovery test run I noticed that the acronis rescue boot iso does not boot up. It is needed to play backups back into the vm so it is vital that this works. In an old environment running ProxMox 1.9 it boots up propperly. In 2.2 it starts the acronis boot loader then...

Since a week or so i notice that single kvm threads consume a lot of cpu usage - up to one physical cpu load - constantly. The guest inside the kvm is idle. After reboot of the vm sometimes everything seems to be ok. But after a while another vm shows the same behaviour. Linux and Windows guest...

I did a fresh install of debian5/proxmox on a Fujitsu TX200 w. Xeon E5620 and found KVM is gone (on the previous install everything was fine): open /dev/kvm: Is a directory Could not initialize KVM, will disable KVM support I tried kernel 2.6.32 and 2.6.35 with no success. Here are versions...

I found some vm's are using more threads than expected: PID USER PRI NI VIRT RES SHR S CPU% MEM% TIME+ Command 2741 root 20 0 930M 710M 2432 R 71.6 3.5 12:54.27 /usr/bin/kvm -monitor unix:/var/run/qemu-server/110.mon,server,nowait -vnc...

I am aware this is a more exotic problem but i have two machines (one win2003, one ubu 8.04) which where migrated from vmware server a long time ago. Both had vmware tools installed (now deactivated) and both do not react to "qm shutdown". Has anybody had such an issue and eventually a...

Hi all, what exactly should be the effect of using "qm suspend <vmid>"? What kind of suspend mode should the vm run into? I tried the command on some vm (win or lin) with no effect. They run happily ever after... My goal is to send some machines to a defined state which do not react to...

I found an odd situation where ProxMox swapps allmost all VMs out to disk while copying some files. And i can not find an explanation. In detail: I copy some files(about 8G) from within a VM (Debian, ISCSI-Disk via VIRTIO ) via Samba-Share to an external machine. So it is only reading from...

Hi all, i found a backup job hanging for about 4 days and now i wonder what will be the proper way to kill it. It is in snapshot mode so i need to delete the snapshot propperly. Here is what happens according to ps: 3363 ? Ss 0:03 /usr/sbin/cron 20301 ? S 0:00 \_...

After reboot of ISCSI target Proxmox servers can not connect to the lvm volumes any more. ISCSI target itself is connected and active but when I try to activate the LVM it fails with : Fehler: command '/sbin/vgchange -aly pve01' failed with exit code 5 No errors on the ISCSI target, logical...

Is there any posibility to achieve something like linked clones realised w VMware? I need to virtualize a couple of client machines which should be more or less identical. So it would be nice to have something like a basic image and overlays on file system basis for each machine. Any...

Hello, i am searching for kernel headers for compiling some modules. Kernel is: pve-manager: 1.5-8 (pve-manager/1.5/4674) running kernel: 2.6.24-9-pve pve-kernel-2.6.24-9-pve: 2.6.24-18 but # aptitude install pve-headers-2.6.24.18-9-pve doesnt work. What is the appropriate approach? Thank...

I have 2 Clusterservers up and running with drbd and such. Migrating VMs offline is working slowly: rsync is copying the complete file though it is already available via drbd. when i try to migrate online it fails with: Can't find anything in the docu. Any clue?
