From my findings it is a problem w KVM and Win7/Win 2008. Maybe tough timing in the drivers or such. I found a lot of USB devices not working in Win7/Win2008 but they did work propperly in Win XP. As far as i know there is no fix. Regards, Holger

Yes, for sure. If you grant me an editor's login... Regards Holger

OK, solution is in the message (as usually). "open /dev/kvm: Is a directory" I named a lvm-volume group as "kvm" which for obvious reasons should be avoided. Maybe a little reminder in the wiki would help... Best regards, Holger

Hi Tom, no bios update on my side. It is a new machine, i test installed debian and proxmox last week and everything was fine, i created vm's and they did run fine with KVM. Then I decided to do a clean new install from scratch because the machine has to go to customer on friday. I reformated...

I did a fresh install of debian5/proxmox on a Fujitsu TX200 w. Xeon E5620 and found KVM is gone (on the previous install everything was fine): open /dev/kvm: Is a directory Could not initialize KVM, will disable KVM support I tried kernel 2.6.32 and 2.6.35 with no success. Here are versions...

I found some vm's are using more threads than expected: PID USER PRI NI VIRT RES SHR S CPU% MEM% TIME+ Command 2741 root 20 0 930M 710M 2432 R 71.6 3.5 12:54.27 /usr/bin/kvm -monitor unix:/var/run/qemu-server/110.mon,server,nowait -vnc...

Hi Tom, there is nothing newer in the repo. My guess is that there has not been done a proper deinstallation of vmware tools. Using ssh is good enough for the moment. I just wanted to make sure our infrastructure shuts down when the solar flare hits earth tomorrow :eek: Best regards, Holgi

Hi Tom, thank you for your reply, the ubuntu machine has apci installed but does not respond propperly for unknown reason. I now send the halt command via ssh... The windows server had the vmware tools already installed despite my statement from above. After removing the vmware files it...

I am aware this is a more exotic problem but i have two machines (one win2003, one ubu 8.04) which where migrated from vmware server a long time ago. Both had vmware tools installed (now deactivated) and both do not react to "qm shutdown". Has anybody had such an issue and eventually a...

OK, I was misleaded by "qm status" which shows a state of "running" for a suspended machine. Which IMHO is wrong and should be corrected if possible. The vm's DO go to suspend mode... So my question is now: Will a suspended state behave well after shutdown and restart of the host? Will it...

Hi all, what exactly should be the effect of using "qm suspend <vmid>"? What kind of suspend mode should the vm run into? I tried the command on some vm (win or lin) with no effect. They run happily ever after... My goal is to send some machines to a defined state which do not react to...

Hi Udo, on this specific server: Plain Debian w. Proxmox and sshd running for remote access. I checked the server today and it seems that after setting swappyness to zero it behaves like it should w. very little swapping. It might have been the case that this extensive buffering occured...

Hi Udo, yes i speak about memory of the host. all VMs together leave enough memory for the host system and some gigs of buffer. So there would be no need to swap except linux allways wants to... For example: I have on real quick machine with fast raid, 12GB memory and one single VM running...

I found an odd situation where ProxMox swapps allmost all VMs out to disk while copying some files. And i can not find an explanation. In detail: I copy some files(about 8G) from within a VM (Debian, ISCSI-Disk via VIRTIO ) via Samba-Share to an external machine. So it is only reading from...

Hi all, i found a backup job hanging for about 4 days and now i wonder what will be the proper way to kill it. It is in snapshot mode so i need to delete the snapshot propperly. Here is what happens according to ps: 3363 ? Ss 0:03 /usr/sbin/cron 20301 ? S 0:00 \_...

*** Ok forget all about my post. I'm running kernel 2.6.32 and as i understand, there is KSm not enabled... *** While following your thread I checked my own installation and found ksm not running at all. There is no /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/ dir and therefore /etc/init.d/ksmtuned is not starting (the...

For your migration problem: You might try OpenGates from here: https://www.pinguin.lu/index.php It might solve that problem... Regards Holgi

Check carefully if you do have duplicate MAC I once duplicated vm's with the build in backup/restore mechanism, which leads to exact copies including duplicate MAC adresses. To figure this out took me half a day... Did you set MAC within Windows? Is that vm a clone and the original Windows...

After all this (faulty) behaviour was caused by a test script I once (no idea for what reason) did put in rc.local. It deactivated hte iscsi daemon, activated the lv groups and started the iscsi daemon ... which leads straight away into this error. Strange enough I 'deactivated' that piece of...

Investigating further: The volume group seems to be ok, i found an error while starting the ISCSI target: [ 3874.325758] iSCSI Enterprise Target Software - version 1.4.19 [ 3874.326966] iscsi_trgt: Registered io type fileio [ 3874.326973] iscsi_trgt: Registered io type blockio [ 3874.326978]...
