You do have to login to the iscsi target on all nodes in the cluster. However, you just need to do the pvcreate and vgcreate on a single node. That, I believe, writes the physical and volume group information to the disks. Then, since all nodes should be logged in to that iscsi target, all...

We have a Windows 2003 VM on which we were running a 3 hour long process. Leaving the console for awhile and then coming back to the console showed that the process basically paused or slept...Coming back on the console made it start running again. In the Event Viewer I see 'viostor' warnings...

I used vzdump to backup a VM with 2 disks. The disks were on separate storage ID's. Is it possible to use qmrestore to restore the 2 disks back to 2 separate storage ID's?

OK. I've upgraded one of my servers to proxmox-ve-2.6.32. plaid:~# pveversion -v pve-manager: 1.5-10 (pve-manager/1.5/4822) running kernel: 2.6.32-2-pve proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 1.5-7 pve-kernel-2.6.32-1-pve: 2.6.32-4 pve-kernel-2.6.32-2-pve: 2.6.32-7 pve-kernel-2.6.18-2-pve: 2.6.18-5 qemu-server...

Is this the correct process for upgrading: apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get install proxmox-ve-2.6.32 apt-get install kvm

Thanks. Here it is: plaid:/etc/qemu-server# pveversion -v pve-manager: 1.5-8 (pve-manager/1.5/4674) running kernel: 2.6.32-1-pve proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 1.5-4 pve-kernel-2.6.32-1-pve: 2.6.32-4 pve-kernel-2.6.18-2-pve: 2.6.18-5 qemu-server: 1.1-11 pve-firmware: 1.0-3 libpve-storage-perl: 1.0-10...

I started an SMP server from scratch. I'm still getting kernel Oopses. Here is what I am getting: <snip> kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/highmem_32.c:45! invalid opcode: 0000 [#6] SMP last sysfs file: /sys/devices/virtio-pci/virtio1/block/vda/uevent Modules linked in: <snip> Here is the config...

Thank you. kpartx from that thread did the trick.

My disks are LVM over iscsi. How can I mount a VM partition on a physical host? For example, I have a volume Group named BAK_VGPLUM. It is a logical volume on it called plumolddisk.../dev/BAK_VGPLUM/plumolddisk. If I do cfdisk /dev/BAK_VGPLUM/plumolddisk it shows the partitions created in...

I setup test cases for each and eliminated all the variables. It doesn't seem to matter where the disk is located (iscsi or local). Disk bus type doesn't matter. Kernel version doesn't matter. Many different kernel settings tried didn't make a difference. A system update did not resolve the...

Distrib - Gentoo Kernel version - sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.32-r7 Sockets: 1 Cores: 4 Memory: 2048 Disk backend: Virtio, iscsi over multipath (different "cache=xxxx" settings don't appear to make a difference) Ethernet: Virtio Triggering the bug - I've caused the kernel to panic in several...

The VM uses the latest 2.6.32 kernel. I've been doing more testing using dbench and rsync. It seems that any time I have more than 1 socket or more than 1 core selected for the VM, I can get it to crash. The only configuration that has not had a kernel panic so far is 1-core/1-socket with a...

Well...maybe not. The "buggy MP table" messages are gone now...but I still get the random freezes when there is heavy disk/proc activity on the VM.

I was able to get it working without the 'noapic' boot option. I had to enable Power Management support and ACPI Support in the kernel.

A few more pieces of information: * When using a uniprocessor kernel, the "buggy MP table" errors go away and the system does not appear to freeze. * Many sites I have found suggest it is 'bios' related. * There were several suggestions to add the boot flags 'nolapic' and/or 'noapic'...
