Hi, I installed proxmox 1.5 and downloaded the template for centos 4.0 When I created a VE with veth, I don't see /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 So how do I assign an IP. There is no file called ifcfg-eth0

Yes, I realize the mistake of using vmware based storage to test the speed out. You are right UDO. I just tried it today and it worked!!!!!! Please let me know if what I did was what you meant. First, I added the ISCSI target in the storage section. At this point, you cannot determine the size...

Re: vzdump of KVM in snapshot issue-took 30 minutes for 18 GB disk Yes, I realize the limitations on a VMWARE based SAN storage, so I have installed openfiler on a good hardware with 4 GB ram and 1 TB HDD. I also tried using vzdump on the local hard disk space. I created vzdump.conf and just...

Thanks for your quick reply macday, Since it is an NFS share, it must be a basic ext2/3 file system without LVM, correct? If that is the case, the switch --snapshot will not work. So are you doing the vzdump using --suspend? If so how long does the VM get out of commission? Typically how long...

adoII, I am facing the same issue. I was wondering, if instead of using vzdump for backups, would it be a good idea to to take snapshots at the datastore itself with mutiple restore points? For example, I am using openfiler as a datastore with isci, and if I did snapshots to the volumes on...

How do you manage your vm backups? Are you using vzdump? Where are you storing your backups? What switches are you using for vzdump command? How long does it take for you to take backups of all your VM?

Hi UDO, Dont get me wrong. I love promox so much that I want to decommission all the VMs running on vmware and bring them all on to Proxmox. I was just evaluating the ease of operation when creating a KVM image on an isci storage. Another hitch that I faced (Which I have posted on another...

Since the vzdump may take a long time for a VM having large disk size, I was thinking if there was an alternative for vzdump. Here is my question. If I create snapshot schedules on the datastore itself, with multiple restore points, would it be viable to select any restore points from the...

Re: vzdump of KVM in snapshot issue-took 30 minutes for 18 GB disk Here is the output of the vzdump

Re: vzdump of KVM in snapshot issue-took 30 minutes for 18 GB disk I had created a test VM of openfiler storage on vmware

Hi Udo, The only difference is, in vmware, the logical volumes are autometically created by vmware when you assign a VM with a certain portion of the disk space from the volume group. In proxmox, we are expected to assign the logical volume on the remote datastore for each vm. That does not seem...

Re: vzdump of KVM in snapshot issue-took 30 minutes for 18 GB disk HI gkovacs, even 30 MB/s would take a long time (194 Minutes) to backup a 350GB disk. That is too long. Image having 3 or 4 servers with large disks would take forever to backup. dietmar, I have the test storage (Openfiler)...

Hi Udo, I am using Openfiler as the storage device. I am using LVM Here is the output of fdisk -l vcp_ai, You are right about VM taking up the entire isci Target. So is there a way to assign only a portion of the isci volume to the VM, like we do it in vmware?

Re: vzdump of KVM in snapshot issue-took 30 minutes for 18 GB disk I Installed the new version of vzdump, still no joy. It still takes 30 minutes for 18GB. I included the --size 4096, --ionice 2, still it takes 30 minutes. Even when I am backing up on local storage. I tried both locations /...

vzdump of KVM in snapshot issue-took 30 minutes for 18 GB disk I created a windows 2000 server vm on proxmox. WHen I did a vzdump using snapshot option, I lost connection to the server. I could not even ping the server while the vzdump job was going on. Is this normal? What should I do to...

My output is this. kvm1:/# pvdisplay /dev/sda2 --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sda2 VG Name pve PV Size 148.51 GB / not usable 2.09 MB Allocatable yes PE Size (KByte) 4096 Total PE 38018 Free PE...

My concern was that the VM takes the entire VG created on iscsi. Is it possible to allocate a portion of the VG (On Iscsi initiator) to the VM, like it does on VMWARE?

Hi, I am using openfiler for the iscsi source. When I select the iscsi target for Proxmox, it does not give me the capacity etc. NFS works fine, but iscsi does not show any capacity. WHen I create a new KVM machine, and for storage, it selects the entire iscsi target disk. How do I resolve this...

Thanks

Installed Proxmox 1.5. I am trying to migrate a windows 2003 physical server to proxmox with self image. 1. Install SelfImage on the physical Windows machine 2. Execute the mergeide.reg 3. Create an new KVM container with a suitable disk size. 4. SSH to the Proxmox VE host exec qemu-nbd -t...
