    Proxmox configuration and backup

    I am slowly recovering from an OVH dedicated server that didn't boot any more. I took the opportunity to upgrade from 4 to 5 and from dir to lvm-thin storage but it was a lot of pain and down-time. Fortunately and although I have a couple of production-grade apps running on it, it is only for...

    Proxmox VE 5 kernel update at OVH

    I am using Webmin and didn't notice that in the list of packages to update there was at the same time the Proxmox kernel. I had unchecked the OVH one so that my host has just been upgraded to pve-kernel-4.15 as you can see below. Thx # pveversion -v proxmox-ve: 5.3-1 (running kernel...

    Proxmox VE 5 kernel update at OVH

    I guess not as I am also getting kernel updates from the Proxmox source. I assume that I can just comment out the entry in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ovhkernel.list ? I just reinstalled Debian and Proxmox 5 on a server that has been running since 2013... It was the first time that I was getting...

    Proxmox VE 5 kernel update at OVH

    I would like to know if I can safely upgrade the kernel of my Debian stretch machine @ OVH. They are proposing the following kernel update : amd64 Linux kernel, version 4.9.150-xxxx-std-ipv6-64. Thanks in advance. Marc

    Proxmox VE 5 at OVH using fail-over IPs

    After many hours of tweaking, I finally found a configuration that works. I found it quite difficult to progress as network related knowledge is quite specific. I mean that, unless you studied networking, it is fairly difficult to apply the experience gained in another domain to networking. I...

    Proxmox VE 5 at OVH using fail-over IPs

    I finally solved it on my own. I know there are plenty of people out there who know how to do it but if only one is lost like I was over the last week, here is my configuration. auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eno1 inet static address 94.xxx.xxx.223 netmask...

    Proxmox VE 5 at OVH using fail-over IPs

    I have been forced to reinstall Proxmox on my dedicated server at OVH last week and took the opportunity to migrate from 4.4 to 5. Note that I install Proxmox on top of Debian 9.4. Windows VM, private IP, NAT/PAT works fine. Debian LXC container, fail-over IP, doesn't work (I can't get it to...

    PAT and containers with 2 net adapters

    Hello everybody, I have a Debian 9 container with 2 IPs, one public (eth0) and one private (172.16.0.106 eth1). I have configured iptables to forward port 10622 on the Proxmox host to port 22 on the container. No luck, the connection fails. I can SSH the public IP and do a tcpdump while I...

    CAcert server certificate with Proxmox v4

    Hi, first a quick commercial question. I'd like to buy a subscription but don't know how many CPUs my dedicated server has. Here is what I read on the summary of the proxmox home page. CPU(s) 8 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1245 V2 @ 3.40GHz (1 Socket) Is it 1 CPU with 8 cores or 8 CPUs ? Now...

    Bridge+NAT : masquerade works but not as I would like

    The culprit seems to be . I do not know where it comes from (I may have copied and pasted it from the OVH tutorial indeed). Thanks for your help and time. Marc

    Bridge+NAT : masquerade works but not as I would like

    Excellent. I commented out and it worked. The first script was added to debug : it writes the date and the argument (the name of the interface) to a text file. The second one was added automatically by the GUI when creating the interface. I am not sure which one causes the problem but I...

    Bridge+NAT : masquerade works but not as I would like

    Hi, I have been struggling to get NAT working for a container with only partial success : it works when I run the command from a shell but does not work when I set it up in /etc/network/interfaces. The host runs debian 8 and proxmox 4.4.12 (upgraded from v3, itself upgraded from v2). So, as...

    NFS performance

    Done on all nodes but one (IBM Thinkpad from 2005 that does not support MTU > 1490). Meanwhile, I have managed to use LVM on an iSCSI target. This way I can use lvm-cache to improve performance when the VM is loaded. Thanks.

    NFS performance

    Hi Hec, I first need to mention that this setup is my playground : I do not use it for work. I found the performance to be poor as I was trying to restore a back-up to an NFS share on my WD Ex2 NAS. In the meantime I found that NFS is not well suited for hosting a file used as a raw device...

    Multicast question

    Hi, I have been struggling to put two hosts (one is an IBM Thinkpad T520, the other an Intel NUC) into the same cluster without success. On a debian 8 + Proxmox 4 machine, when I run # corosync-cmapctl -g totem.interface.0.mcastaddr I get Failed to initialize the cmap API. Error CS_ERR_LIBRARY...

    NFS performance

    Hi, I have created a NFS share that hosts a couple of VMs but I would like to increase the network performance by caching data on my internal SSD. CacheFS caches whole files and does not support files larger than 2G... Not suitable for VMs. If I could map a file on my NFS share to a block...

    /var/lib/vz replication using drbd

    Hi, I've been trying to setup replication between two cheap PCs (proxmox2 and proxmox3) using drbd : Proxmox2 mounts resource data2 (/dev/drbd2) as primary at /var/lib/vz has resource data3 (/dev/drbd3) as secondary Proxmox3 mounts resource data3 (/dev/drbd3) as primary at /var/lib/vz has...
