Hi Tom, This seems to be working again since I changed the "size:" value in vzdump.conf to 4096. I'm guessing that's the cause for the fix but I'm still not certain. I'm having trouble understanding how I would go about calculating the proper size value for a specific host. It sounds like...

Re: AW: vzdump.conf tweaking - backups failing Doh! Sorry. root@proxvs1:~# pvdisplay --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sda2 VG Name pve PV Size 1.64 TiB / not usable 4.00 MiB Allocatable yes PE Size 4.00 MiB...

Sorry for the delay -here's the output of pvdisplay: root@proxvs1:~# vgdisplay --- Volume group --- VG Name pve System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 1 Metadata Sequence No 1064 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable...

Hi Tom. The backup finished (and I got an email which is a first). Im out right now but will post pvdisplay as soon as I get back. My version is 2.1. Ive been too chicken to update. :)

Ok thanks Tom. Here is a log from the 2nd: INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 100 101 103 106 104 102 108 109 110 --quiet 1 --mailto obfuscated@nospam.com --mode snapshot --compress lzo --storage proxbackup-smb INFO: Starting Backup of VM 100 (qemu) INFO: status = running INFO: backup...

Hi Tom. Thanks for your help and sorry for not replying sooner - I was looking in the forum for my post and didn't see your reply until I checked my email this morning. In reference to the backup log, which log are you looking for? The one that's created on the destination or somewhere...

Hello, I'm having some trouble with backups hanging. The backups were working brilliantly until a few weeks ago. I've been pouring over forum posts trying to figure out what to do to get things working again but I can't seem to figure it out. Once I do I'd like to put a post together like I did...

Hello and Happy New Year to you all. I'm using ProxMoxVE 2.1 and I'm looking at upgrading physical RAM. I have calculated the amount of RAM assigned to my VM's (all KVM) but I'm having difficulty determining how much RAM is allotted to the host. Is this something that occurs dynamically or is...

Ok - so set hwclock to the time shown in the "Server time" field of the "Time" tab in the ProxMox GUI? Is this something I can do while users are connected or do you think it could cause issues with access to domain resources because of the time change? For instance should I do this late at...

Hi Udo. Thanks for your response! I ran both commands. dpkg-reconfigure tzdata shows the same for both nodes (American) but the output of hwclock is different. The production server is 5 hours ahead of the test server (09:39 PM EST on the production server vs 04:39 PM EST. This seems VERY...

Hello there, First of all - ProxMox rules!!! I'm a huge proponent. I have ProxMox 2.1-1/f9b0f63a installed on two different physical servers. My production server is a Dell PowerEdge R520 and my test environment is a Dell PowerEdge T110II. I have a fully virtualized environment with a...

Hey Peter - I'm kind of a noob at ProxMox myself but, if I can help I want to try. If you're talking about the steps to create a container, here's what I've done to accomplish that task in v2.1: Download a template Select "Server view" in the dropdown in the top-left corner of the...

Hey there, I'm setting up a new ProxMox host and want to serve a samba share from local storage. Then I would like to access that share from Windows VM's on the host. I guess my first question would be, is this inadvisable from either a security or any other perspective? Based purely on gut...

Hey there. I hope this post will help someone. It took me a while to make it happen but when I finally put the steps together it was a piece of cake! Hope you have the same results. I transferred a Windows 2008 R2 VirtualBox VM on a Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit host to a Proxmox VE 1.9...
