    Windows 2008 R2 can no longer install from DVD?

    I'm on an unscheduled visit at our branch today.... The drives in both servers are fine (and only a few months old) - faulty drives produce random I/O errors (already had some of them..). As on BOTH servers with ANY DVD I get I/O errors + "attempt to access beyond end of device" EXACTLY...

    Windows 2008 R2 can no longer install from DVD?

    No, the DVDs are all fine - as said, I can reproduce it here on another proxmox system: Both DVDs I tried here (Windows 7 + Windows 2008) can't install on the proxmox host Both DVDs can't be accessed beyond 1073741312 bytes on the proxmox host (which causes dd to abort after 1073741312 bytes...

    Windows 2008 R2 can no longer install from DVD?

    1. Physical DVD doesn't work - setup asks for cdrom-drivers (link in first post) 2. download of the image takes >7h because of the very slow internet connection (we are still waiting for the fiberglass cable to be installed by the local ISP) 3.dd was tried to create an iso image because...

    Windows 2008 R2 can no longer install from DVD?

    I know it should work - I installed Windows 2008 R2 with this very disc in october last year on this system ;) As I also have to install a Windows 7 VM I got somebody at the branch to change the disc at the server. Well, Win7 also refuses to install with the very same error... Win7 has been...

    Windows 2008 R2 can no longer install from DVD?

    I just ran into this problem on a server at our branch: http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/5565-quot-Missing-CD-DVD-driver-quot-when-installing-Windows-Server-2008-R2 Weird thing though: I'm using the same original DVD from which I installed another VM just a few months ago on the very same...

    Windows 2008 SP1 guest crashes -> corosync/TOTEM failures in hosts syslog

    I've already tried tablet=0. The problem seems to be the USB HASP-Key we need at this VM. When unplugging it, CPU-Load drops immediately <10%, plugging it back in and after ~30mins the interrupts are skyrocketing and the system becomes unresponsive again. After being sick the last week, I'll...

    Windows 2008 SP1 guest crashes -> corosync/TOTEM failures in hosts syslog

    Thanks for this post - Although Windows again did refuse to update the driver, you led me to the right direction: With one disk attached via VirtIO Device remove the VirtIO SCSI CONTROLLER instead of the disk drive(s) from hardware maganer. Remove old drivers manually Rescan hardware (or...

    Windows 2008 SP1 guest crashes -> corosync/TOTEM failures in hosts syslog

    Small Update: Since last Weeks updates I'm having trouble with high CPU-Load (Interrupts) on the Guest, Causing 50-70% Load and making the MSSQL Database utterly slow. I traced it down to the storage drivers - so i will try change to latest virtio-SCSI Drivers today. Regarding the virtio...

    Windows 2008 SP1 guest crashes -> corosync/TOTEM failures in hosts syslog

    The proxmox system along with all guests and drivers is updated every monday (the only day I can shutdown the system in the evening if necessary). virtio drivers were taken from the fedora page (linked from linux-kvm.org). I have found 3 versions of the .iso in the images directory, so at least...

    Windows 2008 SP1 guest crashes -> corosync/TOTEM failures in hosts syslog

    I changed the HDD-Images to raw, which brought a small performance increase, but still random crashes on higher loads. After connecting them via IDE to the VM not a single crash since then. So virtio seems to be the problem... Changing the virtio network-device back to e1000 decreased the...

    3w-sas driver 3.26.02?

    Due to disk performance problems on a new system with 3ware 9750-8i card I recognized proxmox is using the 3.26.00 version of this driver with no explicit support for the 9750. The debian 2.6.32 kernel already ships with the 3.26.02 version with support for this card. Would it be safe to use...

    BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 67s! [ifenslave:1964]

    Maybe you should have a look on your kernel modules/drivers? I only know this problem from my desktop machine at home with debian sqeeze + nvidia drivers. After wakeup from suspend i get a "GPU has fallen off the bus", followed by periodic "BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s!" but sometimes...

    Windows-Share to OpenVZ Container - auto-(re)mount?

    My (temporary) solution is now as follows: the host checks if the mounted directory is empty or not, tries to remount it when empty and tells the VM its status by writing into a status file within the root-space of the container. This file is analyzed by the backup-script running on the...

    Windows-Share to OpenVZ Container - auto-(re)mount?

    I want to add MSSQL-Backups from a Windows machine to our external backup routines. As planned Windows-tasks and automated tools proved to be utterly unreliable even for just simple copy-jobs to an network-drive, it should be managed completely from the debian-machine which is also rotating...

    8GB RAM missing?

    I'll check that. I remember having troubles with a BIOS-Update on that system (always crashed right after POST-screen and system freezed after ~30secs when in BIOS), so i never touched it again after finally getting it downgraded back to the previous version. Must have been about mid-2011, but i...

    While investigating some other problem i just found these entries in dmesg: BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009cc00 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000009cc00 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000000d2000 - 00000000000d4000 (reserved) BIOS-e820...

    [solved] Multiple VLANs for OpenVZ Container?

    Re: Multiple VLANs for OpenVZ Container? Here's how i solved it (there seems to be a bug when using venet and veth devices together within different VLANs!?) - VLAN1 = "standard" LAN for all clients and services - VALN2 = IP-cam VLAN, encapsulated from the rest of the network At the switch...

    Windows 2008 SP1 guest crashes -> corosync/TOTEM failures in hosts syslog

    One of our Windows 2008 SP1 (64bit) servers is crashing occasionally under heavy Load. It just happened again while compressing an old database-backup (~5GB) on the guest. The (useless...) Windows-"Log" records 2 failures AFTER the Crash-Time logged by EventLog ("system has been rebooted at...
