Hi everyone, I plan to buy IBM servers due to the on-site support services (it has to be IBM). I check with them and they said not tested proxmox from their end. Just need to make sure it does work. Can this work with Proxmox 3.0/3.1 DRBD? Any help? Primary Server x3650-M4 (7915-C4A)...

got it :) thanks so much

noted and thanks :)

When I create a new VM in Proxmox 2.3-13, I can't see any options whether it's KVM or LVM? Did I miss out anything or is my proxmox outdated? Any help? Thanks.

Thanks Udo again. Few more questions. a. When you say this You can easy expand the disk with pve and after that expand the disk (lvm-storage) inside the VM Is this something that can be done on proxmox interface? Or do I have to do it command line? I assume this. Now I have a server at...

Hi Udo, Thanks for the tips :) Just to clarify further. a. When you say 1 node? Do you mean 1 physical server? b. When you say with pve, always on active-active drbd over 2 nodes. I assume you mean 2 servers. Thus, server 1's proxmox running - VM1 start, VM2 start (active 1) server 2's...

My server has the LSI hardware raid controller. Does that mean I will have problems using Proxmox 3? If I don't use vzdump, will it has issue with the LSI raid controller? Lastly, I never use vzdump before for Proxmox v2. What's the benefits and is it the only way to backup?

Hi everyone, Someone told me that instead of having 1 VM with Ubuntu LVM inside He recomends to have this instead as it will be more suitable for recovery & expansion. No LVM at OS level 1 VM but breaks down into 4 virtual disks. /home -> 1 virtual disk /var -> 1 virtual disk and 2 more...

Hi everyone, I am getting new servers soon and wondering whether I should install the proxmox 2x version of can I go with 3.0. Is 3.0 stable especially DRBD related? Read some posts and seem people are having problems with 3.0. Any help? Thanks.

Hi everyone, Earlier I had a discussion with a friend and suggested to use this setup for Proxmox DRBD. Server 1 (active) -> Server 2 (passive) -> Server 3 (passive) Each server will have 2 VMs. - App Server VM - DB VM Therefore, Server 1's proxmox running - VM1 Start, VM2 Start Server 2's...

hi everyone, like to check. currently i am using proxmox 1.9 and it works fine. however, i like to know whether the v2.1 is stable for production to install on my new server? any help? thanks.

noted and thanks.

sigh, my sonicwall blocks me for downloading zentyal zip file, sorry not sure what's the file format, will check with my network guys and check out the format. actually i am thinking to install openstack and they recommend i use kvm as the hypervisor. Can i install openstack on top of proxmox? Hmm?

so can i use kvm images to proxmox? example like this zentyal kvm image? http://sourceforge.net/projects/zentyal/files/zentyal-2.2-2-kvm-img.zip/download actually is proxmox really stable? But when I shared to vmware folks they lol. hmm... can proxmox even compete with vmware esxi?

Hi everyone, Sorry i have a noob question. Is KVM same thing with Proxmox? I can't find much comparisons online between KVM vs Proxmox, unlike KVM vs Xen? I am planning to install KVM as they claimed it's faster than Xen. But I read about Proxmox and it seems related to KVM, which confused...
