    No Email Notification if Backup fails?

    G'day I guess backup was performed to the mountpoint instead. Does the log file report success? Sorry your log example is not clear. To monitor NFS mounted you can use monitoring tools like nagios, own writen scripts or nfswatch for more advanced. Also you can modify your own pre-processing...

    Need help with system specification

    It's up to you and depends on your architecture. Shared storage is such an easy thing to implement. Why not to do that? At least for manual migration, maintenance or load balancing.You can implement HA just for web servers using heartbeat, haproxy or nginx. HA in Proxmox can be done easily for...

    Need help with system specification

    Hi. Dell sounds pretty good.I've done a couple of installations on Dell 720xd (where xd means extra disk space, you have more HDD bays). Confirmed working DRAC7 for HA for both fence_idrac and fence_drac5 modules. I found three servers is minimum if you plan to have database cluster or ceph...

    Install proxmox 3.3 IBM BLADE problem

    You can workaround it by installing Debian first and then Proxmox packages following this guide https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_WheezyPlease note Debian is still unable to boot UEFI with enabled "secure boot". You must switch off "secure boot" in BIOS.

    Hardening proxmox security best practises.

    Hi,Security is a tricky thing. You will never achieve 100%. So just do reasonable and adequate measures.At the moment it's better to hide hypervisor nodes behind the firewall. Use long passwords etc. I don't think installing extra packages helps that much but might frustrate the hypervisor OS...

    Moving snapshot

    Sounds like "live migration" for me.

    Proxmox 3.2 GIGABYTE H77M-D3H - No network connection

    ~# lspci -knn ## shows you your devices versus kernel modules (drivers) in useDoes dmesg show anything about missing firmware files? The driver is loaded but it can’t maybe initialise the device without firmware which may not be installed because it is non-free.

    Server Slow down...

    Could be anything.1) ~# top ## run to watch processes behavior; use other tools to monitor what's happening (vmstat, dstat etc.)2) Try to separate WebUI access from other network traffic. eg. connect laptop directly and disconnect server from other networks.3) Check log files for any suspicious...

    No web and bigger problems I think. [SOLVED]

    Re: No web and bigger problems I think. Hi, Please check if pveproxy is listening: ~# netstat -paten | grep 8006 From outside: ~$ ping proxmox-2.xxx.com Match ip and make sure it is not firewalled. ~# iptables -L -n Try: /usr/bin/pveversion -v

    need solution - to have both harddrives to have proxmox install and rsync data

    I am not quite experienced with LVM but the guides I found on Internet describing terrible things: basically to delete pv and re-create with brand new name. Too hard mate.

    need solution - to have both harddrives to have proxmox install and rsync data

    For GPT partitions you should use sgdisk: sgdisk -R /dev/sdb /dev/sda ## copy partitions from sda to sbd sgdisk -G /dev/sdb ## assign new random UUID to the new disk sgdisk --randomize-guids --move-second-header /dev/sdb Check what you've got after all: # parted -s /dev/sda print # parted -s...

    need solution - to have both harddrives to have proxmox install and rsync data

    It was my mistake suggesting you to filter lvm. Forget it.Nope.If you filter LVM members, disks or partitions you will not be able to access them globally.

    Some advice on new cluster install

    What about networking? You need to think about how many NIC adaptors. 1Gb/10Gb/InfiniteBand? Switches, teaming, redundancy. Would you mind to setup HA by any chance? In that case what hardware you think to setup fencing? DRAC, APC, Switch?

    Anyone know how long does restore of lvm snapshot take? for eg. 80gb data

    ~10-20 min. Depends on your hardware, compression, data. (eg. Dual core cpu, 4G ram, SATA6) I presume you've made gziped backup of the lvm disk image slice. Is that correct? So restoring vm from backup file then will be ordinary procedure.

    Proxmox and Service Networking

    Hi, At first I'll recommend to remove all iptables firewall rules from /etc/network/interfaces. Please keep your configuration simple (KISS principal) And you will always stay happy. Bad idea to keep everything in one place. It affects things it should not. For now you can configure your...
