I have (currently) two unclustered hosts running PVE 2.3-13. Is it possible to manage them both from the same browser window under the same Datacenter heading or do I need to have two separate browser windows open, one for each host? NBD, just curious... Garth

I just converted two UBS 12.04 KVM hosts to PVE 2.1 with latest patches. All was going well until I created a two-node cluster (no HA configured) and then the NFS shares went inactive on the first node in the cluster. I didn't have to add NFS to the second node. They just showed up there when it...

Got it! I had to move the existing files under the right subdirs in each store. Now all is working. I'm back! :-) Garth

Greetings, it's been awhile. I currently run two UBS Precise KVM servers with both using a NFS server for stores, including QCOW2 images and various ISO files. Among others, there is a W2k3 VM running virtio drivers for disk and network. I've been reading the wiki about moving from KVM back to...

I'm going to start from scratch and do it again. I did everything in that doc but it didn't show up as available in the ADD Storage pulldown until I just happened to look at it again. I added it as a directory and it worked but that's not what I want to end up with. Thanx for the responses, Garth

I have a new Dell 710 with two RAID stacks. The first is mirrored 300GB spindles that PVE installs on which has the vg name of "pve". The second is a 5TB RAID5 stack split into two 2TB and one 1TB partitions. These three partitions are then grouped with LVM into a single vg of 5TB called...

Let me rephrase to a more reasonable question. What I am looking for are real-world experiences of running Windows VMs on kvm; how many, how big, how busy. Do you overcommit memory? CPUs? Disk space? I intend to do some serious testing but some initial advice would be welcome. Thanx, Garth

All, I work for a company that develops and sells Windows-based software. I currently run an ESXi v4 box that is a dual quad-core Xeon with 32GB and a few TBs of DAS. It is currently running a collection of Windows Server 2003 and 2008, both 32 and 64 bit, a large number of XP VMs, and a fair...

I kind of figured that was the case but wasn't sure. Thanx, Garth

Is there ever a time when KVM is preferred over OpenVZ when either is an option? Just curious... Garth

Sounds good. Thanx, Garth

Running 1.5 24 and I see the option to select Sockets and Cores when building a KVM VM. I have a dual Quad Core box so would it be better to select two sockets with one core each or one socket with two cores? This would be for Ubuntu 8.04 server. Thanx, Garth

When I try to create a new VM, be it VZ or KVM, I don't see any place in the setup screen that allows me to select the store I wish to use. Have I missed something in the docs and, if so, can you point me in the right direction? Thanx, Garth

What I'm doing is messing around where I shouldn't be. :-) That said, after migrating a linux KVM, it wouldn't start stating that it was locked(migration) even tho the migration completed with good results and the VM only showed up on the box it was migrated to. So then I physically deleted the...

Newly built 1.5 18 clustered with older 1.3 box. Migrated Linux KVM and all seemed to go well. VM wouldn't start with locked message in logs. Restarted but no help. Searched forum and wiki but no clear answer. VM was not absolutely necessary so I physically deleted it and rebooted. VM still...
