Proxmox VE 3.2 released!

martin · Mar 10, 2014

We just released Proxmox VE 3.2, introducing great new features! More SPICE with spiceterm, Ceph Server integration, Open vSwitch and more!
Together with this release, we started publishing a new series of short video tutorials, e.g. "What´s new in Proxmox VE 3.2!".

A big Thank-you to our active community for all feedback, testing, bug reporting and patch submissions.

Congratulations!
Thanks for another pve release, packed with lots of new features, fixes, improvements.
And thanks for the new videos, too, they're always welcome

even if we'll miss martins voice a bit :-D

[edit]
I just noted in http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Downloads that
"Update a running Proxmox Virtual Environment 3.x to latest 3.1" uses the same exact instructions/repos/targets as the new
"Update a running Proxmox Virtual Environment 3.x to latest 3.2"

so, as happened before the intermediate releases are no more obtainable, perhaps?

pve 2.1/2.2 at the time got then specific repositories targets,
but now 3.2 and 3.1 (perhaps even 3.0) use the same I guess: if this is true, should the wiki page be updated (or specific targets set?)

Can a VM live migrate from 3.1 to 3.2 or does it require a full reboot?

My question also.

Additionally, Is the CEPH in Proxmox 100% unmodified and Proxmox just uses the API of CEPH? or CEPH is modified in some way to make it work with Proxmox?

l.ansaloni · Mar 10, 2014

Many many thanks!
I read in the release notes:
- Improved live backup
I would like to know what are the improvements.
Thank you,
Lorenzo

So unless we have a license, we can't update?

You can update to PVE 3.2 use repo "pve-no-subscription"

hmm. really don't like the idea of using the testing repo for my servers. my wife will kill me if the servers crash out during the day leaving her with no internet or without plex/dns/automated backups/etc.

**edit**

Thanks for poking me with a derp stick. I realized that I didn't have any PVE repos which meant I was not getting any updates from PVE at all....

Can Proxmox CEPH handle multiple cluster on same hardware? For example, in my existing CEPH node i have mix of SSD and HDD for 2 tier data storage. Both type of OSDs are on 2 separate CEPH cluster on same hardware.

No, only one cluster.

Congratulations Martin and team of developers, excellent and very professional work !!!.

Let me to do three questions to administrator project PVE:

1- In the Roadmap of PVE 3.2, I read: "Ceph Server (Technology Preview)" and "Open vSwitch support (Technology Preview)", also in the wiki of SPICE say "Proxmox VE 3.1 introduced Spice as a technology preview.", then do not you think that these features should be out of use in production environments?, ie out of this release?
(Although for me are excellent features when ready for use in production environments).

2- If Open vSwitch is as Technology Preview on PVE 3.2, should I be careful some things specially?

3- In PVE 3.1 and old versions, bonding balance-alb don't work correctly, inclusive with a Switch unmanaged (i believe that is a bug of Kernel), with Open vSwitch i will have the same problem?

In anyway I am very pleased with this product...

Best regards
Cesar

Hi,

Finally a great alternative for vnc that dose not support fullscreen SPICE,

I tried the folowing

on the VM, I switched ti Spice Monitor and installed the spice-guest-tools-0.74.exe, on Windows XP. ==> OK

On my computer, I installed the folowing virt-viewer-x64.msi (Win 7 64) ==> OK

I tried to open the console using Spice console on Chorme (and IE) it download a .VV file containg passwords, certificate, proxy etc....

unable to use that VV file with the remote viewer "C:\Program Files\VirtViewer\bin\remote-viewer.exe"

any help on this.

Regards
Mhamed

do not use this package on XP as the included virtio drivers are not working on XP. Seems you do not use virtio block harddisk as this would lead to a BSOD.
on XP, you need to install the needed drivers manually.

==>Not as simple as you think

on link provided on your wiki, i should go here :

http://www.spice-space.org/download.html

there is two options

Windows guest tools - spice-guest-tools-0.74.exe
This installer contains some optional drivers and services that can be installed in Windows guest to improve SPICE performance and integration. This includes the qxl video driver and the SPICE guest agent (for copy and paste, automatic resolution switching, ...) you seem to say I should Use the ones below, ok
Windows QXL driver
This is not needed if you are using the Windows guest tools installer above. this work absolutly fine
Windows SPICE agent
This is not needed if you are using the Windows guest tools installer above. this only contain the source code, vdagent-win-0.7.2.tar.xz is unusable on windows as it is

that's it: you just have to make the browser, whatever you use, open that vv file with virt-viewer (much like it opens pdf files with acrobat reader & such)
just keep in mind that .vv files can be opened in virt-viewer for a limited time, since they expire after 30 seconds (for security reasons, I guess).

I did that update last night on a new install of PVE from this weekend, using pve-no-subscription. Everything updated except for librados2-perl and pve-manager. I was really looking forward to seeing if I would have better luck with SPICE after the update, but without the updated pve-manager installing, I do not get the new SPICE entry under the Datacenter "options" tab.

PVE still shows as running this version: 3.1-21/93bf03d4

Any suggestions? Server has been fully rebooted twice since the updates. Still no luck.

Thanks!

Andrew
