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
