    [solved] Multiple VLANs for OpenVZ Container?

    I need to seperate our surveillance cameras from the rest of our LAN, so i chose to do it by VLANs. The switch (cisco) supports VLANs; Camera ports are configured as tagged VLAN 2 ports, the LAG for the 4 Proxmox-Server NICs is untagged member of VLAN1 and VLAN2. What changes have to be made to...

    usb redirection initiated by Windows VM?

    We are using an HASP licence dongle within a Windows 2008 SP2 (not R2!) VM. The USB-Device is redirected to the VM at startup via "usb0: host=0529:0001" in /etc/pve/nodes/<node>/<VMID>.conf, which works (device is redirected to the VM), but Windows always needs an extra invitation by re-adding...

    8GB RAM missing?

    I just recognized our proxmox system isn't using the full ammount of RAM anymore... Unfortunately i can't tell since when this problem is persistent (how often do you check if you have "lost" RAM?...), i just recognized our Windows machine (MSSQL server) being utterly slow and having really poor...

    thoughts about HA / clustering...

    Terminal access would be my first choice, but due to bad experiences with terminal server applications ~15 years ago, my boss is completely inaccessible to everything that even sounds alike... I'm still working on this as it also would end the endless fixing of user-related "nothing-problems"...

    thoughts about HA / clustering...

    I also thought about running the VM host in a datacenter - i already have several VPS at hosteurope and used one for a VPN-test with another test-machine in branch B (which is the slowest) to test VPN speed in several directions. I managed to reduce latency by ~30% compared to the current...

    thoughts about HA / clustering...

    I'm quite stuck on working out a solution for a network/server-setup i support since a few months... We have 3 branches connected via VPN (branch A DSL 6000, branch B&C DSL3000). The connection has quite long latencies, so i'd like to minimize traffic from client applications over this...

    migration of opensuse 10.3 machine

    I'm back at the office and just started a new try from scratch (transferred the PM to VM via clonezilla). after editing the menu.lst, re-installing grub at the MBR of the virtual disk i get a working grub which boots up suse 10.3. The fstab has been edited to /dev/sd* i boot up suse, but it...

    migration of opensuse 10.3 machine

    I have to migrate an open suse 10.3 machine i don't have root access to. It runs a small remote application used on 3 clients within our network. We've already discussed the virtualization with the company that set up the machine - from the licensing side there's no limitation whether it's...

    problems with usb_add

    "qm set <VMID> -usb0 host=0529:0001" or "usb_add host:xxxx:xxxx" added to the /etc/pve/nodes/.../<vmid>.conf doesn't work to add the HASP at startup. I still have to add it via usb_add in the qm monitor. is there any config file/script executed at vm startup besides the above mentioned one?

    problems with usb_add

    I executed the command via the monitor within the webinterface - the config file in /etc/pve/nodes/.. doesn't contain the usb_add entry and this morning the USB dongle wasn't attached to the VM after restarting the VM... I modified the .conf manually, i'll give it a try this evening as soon as...

    problems with usb_add

    Is there any way to do this on startup of the vm? The <vmid>.conf files in /etc/qemu-server seem to be removed in 2.0 or are they still processed when present?

    Local migration of Win2k8 Server? Just a few questions.

    Of course the raid 0 would have been only temporary during the migration. as soon as the system is running, all 4 disks will be back in raid-10. This is just ment as a fallback if everything would went wrong and migration would take too long, so i can have the original system back up running for...

    Local migration of Win2k8 Server? Just a few questions.

    Hello, I'm about to virtualize a Win2k8 (32bit) Standard server running on an ACER Altos G540 M2 (8 cores, 32G RAM). Don't ask about this configuration - it was not my fault ;) ANyhow - the database server (MSSQL) is painfully slow, especially because of the RAM limitation of the OS...
