    High memory usage & NFS slowness

    Ok, i was able to do it, thanks! I have now eth0 - vmbr0 with my external IP and eth1 with a 10.11.0.X IP in each server. Cluster use the external IP to connect, but i would like to create the cluster using the 10.11.0.X IP in order to get faster live migrations ( as its a 1Ge only for this...

    High memory usage & NFS slowness

    Hello, Yes, nics are fully supported. I'm seeing memory usage in proxmox ( vm details ), and in a top. Since i'm only in tests, its a normal server c2d, with a 500gb drive. However if i copy a file from the nfs box to the proxmox host its much more faster. Regarding the nic configuration...

    Cluster with two computers having two network cards each

    hello, i configured a san with open-e, and then created a volume group. However, proxmox only detect the lun if the volume is created as a block-io, and not as file-io. However open-e, recommends this to be created as file-io. Also, when i create as block-io, it will use the whole space of the...

    Cluster with two computers having two network cards each

    I will have vms with about 300gb, and may need to do live migrations. Atm in my servers, i have eth0 for internet access, and eth1 to a backend network ( other switch etc ). If i make live migrations using the same nic as vms are connected to internet it will take years, no? Maybe i'm in a big...

    Cluster with two computers having two network cards each

    Moving from dedicated. openVZ, KVM or stick with dedicated?

    Ok, i have setup a few kvm vm's. openvz will not be an option since i need to add r1soft cdp installed, and openvz doesnt support it. I will need to install it per vm and kvm is the only option. What worries me is the IO problem, as i cannot add sites and have slowness compared to dedicated...

    Cluster with two computers having two network cards each

    Hello, Maybe i didnt explain well. I will access proxmox/vms eith vmbr0/eth0, but i want cluster communication to use eth1. Atm i have a switch where eth1 port on servers connect to make backups, so would be much faster than using eth0 ( that have internet traffic ). The idea is to separate it...
