hi,

proxperf results are ok. what vmware software do you use?

for analysis I need as described the corresponding syslog file (see /var/log/syslog.x ), or if you prefer we can do a SSH login - just send your IP and the login credentials to support@proxmox.com (also describe the time when the smtp has the problem) - make sure that your firewall allow ssh access for our IP 213.129.239.114
 
I am using the vmware ESx 3.5.
what happen is that system hang up i cant access to the proxmox server via ssh or http. to wake the system up i must do a restart.
i look in the messages and syslog and i didn't find the problem.

Hi again,

I just heard that there are some issues with kernel 2.6.22 and esx 3/3.5, you can downgrade the kernel to 2.6.18 to work around this:

HowTo: Downgrade your VMware Virtual Appliance from Kernel 2.6.22 to 2.6.18:

There are some issues between VMware and Linux Kernel 2.6.22 - if you see such problems on your environment you can downgrade to Kernel 2.6.18.


1. Download the Kernel 2.6.18 and the vmware-tools for Kernel 2.6.18:

> wget http://www.proxmox.com/cms_proxmox/cms/upload/kernel/proxmox-kernel_2.6.18-3_i386.deb
> wget http://www.proxmox.com/cms_proxmox/cms/upload/misc/proxmox-vmware-tools_2.6.18-3_all.deb

2.Remove vmware-tools:

> dpkg -r proxmox-vmware-tools

3. Install Kernel 2.6.18:

> dpkg -i proxmox-kernel_2.6.18-3_i386.deb

4. Reboot

(to activate the new kernel)

5. optional: Install vmware-tools package:

> dpkg -i proxmox-vmware-tools_2.6.18-3_all.deb

6. Final reboot

Check if all services are running, test mail flow, etc.
