Hello, I have several nodes, all have 600gb hard drives. After installation from the ISO, my local storage on each node is 94.37 GB according to the proxmox webUI. df -h command shows this for the "/" disk . /dev/dm-0 95G 21G 70G 23% / I'm...

Thanks Dietmar, sorry I should have been more clear. The node is hard down, definitely some hardware problem. I'm just wondering , since it is part of a cluster (but H.A. is not configured), if I can obtain a list of the VM names that are on the down node, since currently I can only see them...

FWIW, its working just fine with ansible just waiting for the VM to come online, then shutting it down via shutdown -h , then using qm start command delegated to proxmox node to power it up again. Only adds ~10 seconds to the playbook run and only needs to happen once so not a big deal ;)

Ah, will take a look. Must have missed that, thanks for the guide though. Was very helpful I had not seen this module, just wrote one with qm commands myself, based on your blog. I just include a shell script in my debian VM template, called by /etc/rc.local , which parses the /proc/cmdline...

Hey folks, I have a proxmox cluster and one node is having a problem, probably hardware related. I can't see which VMs are down as a result, only the numbers, so I don't know if this is an urgent problem for me. Is there a way, from the nodes that are alive, to obtain the friendly VM names...

As it turns out, I needed to *shut down* the VM and not just reboot it , before this change would go into effect. So I guess I will have to program a shutdown and qm start into my ansible playbooks. Hmm.

I have an ansible playbook that clones a debian template, sets some kernel arguments via qm command, boots the VM, and then is supposed to remove the kernel arguments, so they would only be used/seen on first boot. I based my method off of this excellent guide...

It's interesting that LXC aims to provide close to bare-metal performance yet this really does seem to be an issue (real time performance), at least from what you and several others have said (Including my researching Docker). Its too bad too, because I honestly have a legitimate, important use...

LXC containers have obvious benefits - I really especially like that you can supply IP, hostname, root fs, and even SSH key right off the bat, then have basically bare metal performance. But I've now run into at least 2 applications which either need modification or something else to get...

Makes sense.. although your template could have a dynamic script in it also ;) Mostly Im just thinking about apt-get and yum slowness in provisioning a new VM vs a template with packages already installed. But that could be mitigated by a mirror/repo on the LAN of course.

@morph027 Thanks for this. Looks like a reasonable solution. I didn't realize that using 'qm' commands directly was supported. Looks like you can even do qm create/clone, then 'qm set' parmaters such as vlan.

Is anyone on here provisioning and configuring VMs on Proxmox, in a programmatic way? I'm hoping to get something going with vagrant, ansible, etc, and/or perhaps the Proxmox API. I have several proxmox nodes in a cluster. Specifying a KVM template, hardware specifics (disk size, VLAN id etc)...

Hello, I did a sparse rsync copy of a .raw file from an older proxmox cluster to a local new proxmox 4.2 system. I am stumped as to how I can create a new VM with this .raw file. It seems the new system is using lvm-local storage when I create a new VM and I cannot figure out how to copy the...

Yep, I'm using a few LXC machines on Proxmox it is very cool. But What I am asking is if I can also run Docker on the host O.S. (Proxmox). LXC and Docker are both Linux container technologies, but they have different purposes. LXC is usually used for system containers, like a normal VPS, a...

I'm going to find out what happens if I just install Docker on one of my bare-metal proxmox hosts, by adding the Debian Jessie apt repository and just installing it that way.. I know it would be a safer move to just run it in a KVM guest, but bare metal performance would be great to get more...

I was hoping I could do that.. as in just have a "chroot" style environment, just directories of my Linux container systems vs. 'raw' or other format if this is possible. I just didnt see a way to do that yet.. when I create a container a .raw file is created from the stock templates in the...

Hello, I take nightly backup snapshots of my ESXi linux VMs using a script "ghettoVCB" and the backups are on NFS. I would like to import the VMDK disks into Proxmox containers. I would like them to be "thin" if this is possible. Can anyone recommend the steps on the best way to do this...

Security is important. Pehaps iSCSI is the better solution? I would like to also connect some non-blade 1U servers I have to the shared storage .. so although my blade enclosure probably has some unified storage connection, I think something networked may be better for me. Lets say I have a...

Hi folks, Any recommendations for a shared storage unit for a 5 node Proxmox cluster? Mostly Linux machines and pretty low traffic - mostly doing email for small groups and some VoIP. No "big data". Is NFS fast enough? These are blade servers in a dell m1000e enclosure.
