Yep - that's what I would love to do as well. Does anyone happen to know of any thin client's that support the spice protocol?

Oh - that's odd, as I'm using Firefox ...

I'm running the viewer in virt-viewer-x64-0.5.6.msi and it works OK. I did look in the bin directory, and there is a windows-cmdline-wrapper.exe in there. If I run it on it's own, I get an error saying that it has asked the run time to terminate it. You can see where the error is in the command...

I just updated my test system here to try out the Spice stuff, and I'm impressed! It's way better than VNC. I have a few questions - you have to install the virt-viewer (well at least on Windows) and it seems that from the browser, a file is downloaded that must be passed to the viewer on the...

Just to finish this thread, I replaced the disc with an SSD. Here is pveperf now: CPU BOGOMIPS: 55869.44 REGEX/SECOND: 1592584 HD SIZE: 54.88 GB (/dev/mapper/pve-root) BUFFERED READS: 216.36 MB/sec AVERAGE SEEK TIME: 0.14 ms FSYNCS/SECOND: 3762.72 DNS EXT...

I had exactly the same problem. I found a solution - here are my notes: Boot from the Proxmox CD. At the boot prompt type debug. Now you are at a command line. You can also use dd command (it removes the partition table): # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=512 count=1 Just remove MBR, without...

I agree. It's very slow. In answer to to your questions, there have been no modifications whatsoever to the machine BIOS, filesystem or anything else. It's all stock. This morning I installed 2.3 on the same hardware and disk as I have been using for testing all the time. Here are the results...

I changed it to cfq - no difference. Tomorrow I'll install 2.3, copy over my VM's and see what happens.

With all VM's running: pveperf CPU BOGOMIPS: 55872.00 REGEX/SECOND: 1253976 HD SIZE: 57.09 GB (/dev/mapper/pve-root) BUFFERED READS: 73.99 MB/sec AVERAGE SEEK TIME: 63.84 ms FSYNCS/SECOND: 6.68 DNS EXT: 101.36 ms DNS INT: 106.76 ms And with all...

Thanks for the reply. There is no RAID controller. It's just a single SATA drive. The hardware is the same - I haven't changed the server at all. It's a standard Dell R210 II, so maybe it's something in the kernel that's changed with regard to the Dell hardware?

Previously, I had two Windows 7 guests, one Windows XP and one NAS4Free guest. All these were running on a Dell R210, with a single SATA drive for the VM's and operating system, and another SATA drive for storage. With PVE2.3, the performance was very good. VM's would start and stop quickly, and...

Does booting from USB work OK? I don't think Proxmox is optimised for booting from USB, is it? Surely the number of writes to logfiles etc will wear out a USB flash drive pretty quickly - or am I mistaken here?

I added a very small SATA disk to the VM, and it seemed to work for me. All my other disks were IDE.

Only with the assistance of Mr Google and the time and knowledge of the internet community who share their information!

For what it's worth, I installed Iceweasel (Firefox) and Openbox. Openbox does nothing but run Iceweasel on startup. If you run Iceweasel without some window manager, it works, but if you open the java console, you can't switch back to the original window. So all you have to do is log in and run...

Maybe I can explain a little more to possibly circumvent any further "learn the command line" type replies. Proxmox _may_ (depending on the success I have in testing) replace the numerous PC's we supply with a industrial control system. These systems are located all around the world, and are...

I'd like to be able to make the proxmox server completely self contained. That is, have the possibility to run only a web browser on the console for configuration monitoring. No other applications and no window manager. Normally, this would not be used, but for our applications, there may be...

Worked a treat. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a try today. I had a thought though - a description field (like the one for VM's) for the node would probably do what I want. It could be useful for others too.

A little background. After looking at VMWare, Hyper-V and Xen, I have decided that Proxmox is the one that I intend to use. The intended purpose is quite simple. It will consolidate three PC's (two Windows 7 and one XP) into one server. The configurations of the PC's are very constant. The way...
