KVM with Proxmox 3.3

[schannall]

Hello,
is it possible to get KVM running with Proxmox 3.3? I recently installed 3 nodes with proxmox 3.3 and tried to upgrade one node to support KVM.

Installed via APT:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  ipxe-qemu kvm libbluetooth3 libbrlapi0.5 libiscsi1 libspice-server1
  libusbredirparser0 libvdeplug2 qemu-keymaps qemu-kvm qemu-utils seabios
  sharutils vgabios

After a reboot the webinterface is not reachable anymore. The server is online and reachable via SSH (even CephFS still works).
Does anyone have an Idea how to get KVM running? Thank you in advance.

Hi,
if your server (CPU+Bios) support hardware virtualization, you can use kvm directly after installing PVE.

The package is qemu-kvm:

dpkg -l | grep qemu-kvm
ii  pve-qemu-kvm                     2.1-9                         amd64        Full virtualization on x86 hardware

post the output of 'pveversion -v' and compare your packages with the list from here:

If I just install that Package:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 qemu-kvm : Depends: libspice-server1 (>= 0.11.0)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

That's why I installed so many packages. The system is up to the latest patches.
The system supports HW Virt, but it's not activated in the bios:

root@proxmox02:~# dmesg | grep kvm
kvm: disabled by bios

Thank you for your support!

Still the Webinterface is not reachable; connecdtion times out or when I try to log on via another Cluster node it says "connection refused (595)".

(Re)starting pve-manager does not solve this.

I'm searching for the issue here; if I find it I will post it.

Hi,
Thanks for you help:

root@proxmox01:~# pveversion -v
-bash: pveversion: command not found
root@proxmox01:~# pve
pvecm         pve-firewall  pvefw-logger  pvesm         pveum
root@proxmox01:~# apt-get install pveversion

Searching a little in my logs:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  proxmox-ve-2.6.32 pve-libspice-server1 pve-manager pve-qemu-kvm
  qemu-server spiceterm

Reinstalling those does not work as I dont have a subscription (it's just a Testenvoirenment). So I got to reinstall the server; thanks for your help!

Hi,
should also work without subscription!


But in this case is an new installation perhaps the safer/faster way - depends on your linux knowledge.
