    What's the difference between a Virtual Appliance and a VE running the same thing?

    I am just curious, no details on the Wiki. Please pardon my ignorance on the new virtualization technologies. Just trying to understand/absorb as much as I can.

    Tips/ideas for securing Proxmox VE?

    As you may be aware when you leave a computer connected to the internet there is always a risk that a hacker might want to break into your system. So I wanted to ask for ideas or tips that I can implement to make my environment more secure (Proxmox VE). I am running a vanilla Proxmox install...

    Limiting a KVM (Windows) or Virtual Machine CPU resources

    Hmm, I will research this further. Can you please point me in the direction where proxmox VE saves the "init" values for KVM/OpenVZ virtual machines? Let's say I saw a line to start the VE in the OpenVZ forums and it seems to work, is there any way to hard-code it into Proxmox so every time I...

    Limiting a KVM (Windows) or Virtual Machine CPU resources

    Is it possible to limit how many Mhz we give to a VM/KVM? I believe its possible since HyperVM seems to do it they use OpenVZ

    Linux KVM/Proxmox or Hyper-v

    Do PM. Though if I were to do it in my office where other people are more "windows" people, I would chose vmware just for the fact that the other tech that works there doesn't want to deal with unix in any kind of way. I think vmware ESX should give you USB support since its more "pro", but...

    Limiting a KVM (Windows) or Virtual Machine CPU resources

    Interesting, all 4 VMs are doing the same thing and it seems like KVM pairs them up to "share" memory? (I still have a little of SWAP usage)

    Limiting a KVM (Windows) or Virtual Machine CPU resources

    Thanks. I am trying this theory out, but so far my CPU load is 100% (for this Quad core). Keep in mind all settings are CPUS = 1 on all 4 VMs. See attached

    Limiting network speed/transfer rate on virtual interface?

    Hello I am curious to know if I can impose limits on network speeds/transfer rates for KVM and OpenVZ virtual machines. I believe its possible with OpenVZ but I am not entirely sure about KVM or if it may work with Proxmox openvz. Thanks in advance

    How to clone a KVM (Windows) Virtual Machine?

    Hi is it possible to clone an existing KVM (with Windows), to another one on the same server with a different name? Lets say VM1 exists already, I want to clone VM1 and name it VM2. I assume I can create a blank VM2 shut it down and copy the virtual disk file into the VM2 and when I boot it...

    CPU questions

    Hi, I was just searching for the answers to my question and I found this thread. Hopefully you don't mind me bumping it. So CPU Units is just a value that is taken into consideration when having multiple VMs? So say I have 5 VMs using CPUs =1 core, and different CPU Units values: VM 1 = 8...

    Limiting a KVM (Windows) or Virtual Machine CPU resources

    Understood, however I want to limit that single CPU I gave the Guest OS. Possible? I thought thats what CPU units where for. What are CPU Units?

    Linux KVM/Proxmox or Hyper-v

    I say go with: - whatever you like - whatever your hardware supports / anything within your limits - depends on your needs Personally, on my test bench vmware ESX (the trial), Microsoft Hyper-V server, vmware ESXi none of them worked or supported my network card. After some research I got...

    Limiting a KVM (Windows) or Virtual Machine CPU resources

    Hello guys I was able to setup Windows Server 2003 without a hitch on my Q6600 Core2. I am able to assign it RAM / Disk space so I know it won't go over that. Now, I installed Prime95 an utility used by Overclockers to do iterations and max out memory/cpu to proof test the ability to...
