    Slow Web Interface Performance

    Hi, I've moved my Proxmox 1.7 server cluster from my home office to a data center, and now the web interface responds very slowly. Now my face looks like this: :mad: Everything else seems to run quickly: SSH, the VNC terminals, virtual machine performance seems fine. Things that have...

    Proxmox on Sata Flash device

    I'm thinking about installing Proxmox on a sata flash device like this one: http://www.amazon.com/7-pin-Flash-Drive-Module-Type-1/dp/B003C50AEQ The advantages are fast read, reliability, frees up extra drive space in the front of the case for storage drives and low energy consumption. I'm...

    Hardware recommendations/recipes

    I'm putting together hardware for my production cluster. I've been looking at a Supermicro Twin^2 which is a barebones server that puts four servers in one 2U case sharing one redundant PS. It seems good, except for the Intel ICH10R fakeraid, which I doubt is going to run well under Proxmox...

    Proxmox and UPS: will guests shutdown cleanly?

    When I attach a UPS to my Proxmox server are there any special considerations to setting it up. I'm thinking that when the UPS signals the server to shutdown, should I also be sending a signal to each guest OS to shutdown cleanly?

    Injecting IDE driver on Windows 2003 guest

    I used dd to create a raw copy of Windows 2003 server. I did run the ide reg file but when I open it in Proxmox VE I'm getting the dreaded BSOD: STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF789EA94,0xC0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000) I tried using Acronis TrueImage to inject the HAL drivers, but it didn't work. I'm...

    Windows 2003 Guest best practices

    What are the best practices for a Windows 2003 guest? I've been googling for a while now and found a lot of contradictory information. Please give me your opinion and the benefit of your experience. Of course one of the great things about Windows 2003 is that once you activate your license...

    Copying the tail end of a drive using dd

    I'm trying to work out a method of using cygwin dd and shadow copy to create an image of a live 2003 server for p2v conversion. Shadow copy only gives us partition data, so the image isn't bootable. So my idea is this: 1) Use dd to copy the first 32k of the actual boot disk. 2) Use dd to copy...

    Measuring performance of virtual disks under Windows 2003

    I've been getting some strange results when I run benchmarks on one of my Windows 2003 virtual machines. I'm seeing throughput of 350 MB/s on a virtual disk. Only about 260 MB/s faster than the real (host) disk speed. I've used hdparm -t under Cygwin and HD Tune Pro, and I'm getting similar...

    vmware-vdiskmanager: any way to install without installing VMware Server?

    I've currently installed VMware Server on a laptop, so I copy the disk image to a USB drive, convert the image, then copy the new image to the Proxmox VE server. I tried just pulling the .exe off my install, but it does depend on some libraries, so it's not too portable. VMware Server has a...

    Working with iso images and virtual cdrom

    I uploaded the virtio iso, but I can't seem to get it mounted on my Windows 2003 guest. I tried modifying the cdrom device via the web interface, but it didn't seem to update in windows. Then I rebooted the virtual machine, and it doesn't come up as it's trying to boot the cd. I have the boot...
