    Windows 2008 sp2: Bluescreen

    What windows drivers do you use? How do you connect to drive and network? We had a Win2008 Server also showing blue screens from time to time. We went away from virtio lan and io back to IDE and E1000 network. The server is stable now... Regards, Holger * This should have been going to...

    KVM Threads consume whole phys. CPU

    Hi Beta, KSM might be a trace, once I disabled it due to extended cpu load. After updating Proxmox it seems to be back. So once again I put it back in its box so lets see what happens now. Thanks for the hint, Holger

    KVM Threads consume whole phys. CPU

    Since a week or so i notice that single kvm threads consume a lot of cpu usage - up to one physical cpu load - constantly. The guest inside the kvm is idle. After reboot of the vm sometimes everything seems to be ok. But after a while another vm shows the same behaviour. Linux and Windows guest...

    Proxmox configuration problem

    It is very difficult to understand what you want because you do not use any punctuation and miss some words. At least that is what I think. If I get you right you search for a way to set the IP for vm's in the GUI of Proxmox? That is not possible. You always set the IP in the vm. If you want...

    Proxmox configuration problem

    Still problems? Check hardware manager in XP. Does it find a network card? Which one did u choose while creating the vm? rtl8139 should be recognised out of the box, for e1000 and virtio you need driver software (as always with windows) . Regards, Holger

    CPU-Usage on kvm-guest in PVE1.9

    top is not very specific IMHO. Try atop (patches not needed) on both the host and vm. Sometimes htop is not bad either. Regards, holger

    Can someone instal proxmox on my actual centos server?

    Hello Transworld, please let me throw in my oppinion: After reading through all of this thread i come to the conclusion that you lack some experience with linux systems in general. This is not desireable if you take into consideration the almost doubled complexity of one or multiple virtualized...

    pveca -m : nothing happens ?

    Do you think the ProxMox guys are so evil? ;) You can safely remove the cluster relationship from either machine without touching any vm. I did it quite often until i understood clustering. Regards, Holger

    How to pass removable USB or eSata devices from host to KVM

    What is your target client OS? You can pass USB devices to vm adding them manually to the vm's config file (in /etc/quemu-server/). Check man qm for syntax. Will NOT work for Win7 and Windows2008 clients (or newer, i guess). Regards, Holger

    Windows 2008r2 2k8r2 udp

    I totally agree to softlion, same problems here w. virtio lan drivers and Win2008 (lost connections). Had no problems w. microsoft e1000 drivrs so far. One thing differs: On one machine (HP Server w hw raid) I had problems w. virtio disk drivers (vm rebooted once a week) so i switched back to...

    DenyHosts on VM's too ?

    vm's dont benefit from firewall settings of the host. So you have to secure them separately. Regards, Holger

    add a physical drive as a drive in virtual machine

    What about backup of physical disk? This seems to be an attractive option for some scenarios which do not involve migrating. How is vzdump behaving? Will it dump the disk? Can the disk be excluded the usual way? Regards, Holger

    add a physical drive as a drive in virtual machine

    Is this confirmed as working/good practice? If yes, it should go to the wiki (I would do so :o)! Regards, Holger

    Multiple HDDs and Formatting

    No need to format. Just attach the LVM group to proxmox via gui, it will build logical volumes for your vm's in there automatically when you create a vm (and they will be formated by the guest system). Regards, Holger

    KVM - Can't use USB-device on guest system after reboot

    As i said in an other thread: the same devices not working in Win2008 did do well in WinXP and Linux so I think it is a problem in the usb subsystem of the new windowses. Regards, Holger
