    Compiling storage drivers for proxmox ve host

    That be useful! Then we could better leverage some of this off-speed driver and config stuff. Thanks, Andrew.

    Compiling storage drivers for proxmox ve host

    Andrew, Do you think it is safe to assume that only those controllers listed on that page above as supported the Debian Installer will be via-able for install support under the current Proxmox Beta, ie: Driver name Supported Status Cmd tool GUI tool...

    Compiling storage drivers for proxmox ve host

    Thanks. I am after building 100 pretty fast servers, rather than a few very fast ones, hence my focus on value. I guess I am asking this the wrong way, because I think it is easier that it sounds here. I am not looking for any kind of certification or any special testing; I am looking for...

    Compiling storage drivers for proxmox ve host

    I agree that a hardware raid controller is required for a good Proxmox install, especially given the current lack of software raid support. Can anyone post a list of hardware raid cards supported 'out-of-box' by the current beta install disk? That would help those of us who are unsure how to...

    FreeNAS?

    I was thinking that the architecture of Proxmox might make this less critical, but I don't know. I really just want a more sophisticated web front end for exploiting disk management beyond what Proxmox is able to do just now, and thought perhaps this'd be a way to get there, short term. I know...

    FreeNAS?

    Given that it will be a while before any fancy web GUI for complex disk management is available, perhaps an interesting interim step might be a FreeNAS-based Appliance or something similar. Has a strong GUI, and a good track record of managing disk farms. Its FreeBSD-based, not sure how it...

    Still Stuck! I remain stuck :( on the best way to use lower cost 3rd party raid controllers with the current semi-locked Proxmox install process. Any help is appreciated! Thanks! - Michael

    How About HighPoint RocketRAID 2310 PCI Express x4? I am also contemplating this week using a Highpoint card with Proxmox, in my case, the HighPoint RocketRAID 2310 PCI Express x4 (as shown here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816115027 and here...

    (More) Help With Distributing VMs (Planning)

    Ah, Vzdump ! Tom, That lines up with what I could glean from the docs. Thanks! :) But let me probe that vzdump thing a bit, since server cloning is what I am after, that sounds like the key tool. I have already built up a test server from your our Debian Etch template (worked great in 4.01...

    (More) Help With Distributing VMs (Planning)

    What you guys wrote for snesreviews is really helpful, although any time the forum solution is to perhaps use another product, it throws off us newbies! So let me ask my question, and see if you guys think that ProxMox would be a good fit, because it sure looks like a good one to me...
