    VLAN 1 NIC for VMs and administration

    You didn't set up the bond0.99 vlan interface. You should have something like: auto bond0.99 iface bond0.99 manual before bridging.. if you issue: ifconfig bond0.99 does it show anything now?

    Help to set starting swap memory

    I think is better to use correct swap allocation inside the VM instead of allocation swap for the host. For example I have 96G of ram and I allocated only 10G of swap.. I have allocated to the VMs right now about 64GB and ksm sharing already kicked in..

    Fastest IO possible ( RAID or SAN)

    The disks are the weakest link in the chain. So what really matters is what disks are behind any setup. If you'll move from SSD drives to SAS drives even if you use RAID10 your performance will decrease. There are tools online that can help you calculate IOPS performance in various raid setups.

    Proxmox + VM iSCSI vs local storage

    Of course.. in your vm conf you can do something like: ide2: /dev/dm-x ( path for the raid-5 ) or virtiox if it is supported..

    SPICE: new Windows Guest Tools - 0.74

    I already use those since they were launched and have no problems on W7-x64 guest. It actually improved the performance of the guest ( I had some apps with some dynamic graphs that made the console unusable and the reported cpu usage from kvm being very high, although the guest didn't report the...

    Backup serialization and rotation

    Thank you Dietmar for your reply, splitting the job in 2 makes sense in my case and it seems the script will do exactly what I needed. Symmcom, you are right that's something I could do, however I only have a server available with 6 hdd slots and they are all occupied for this backup purpose so...

    Backup serialization and rotation

    I run this 2-node HA cluster and I have set up a backup job for all the VMs across the 2 nodes ( I run 4 VMs on one-node and 4 on the other in the normal state of the cluster ). The backup is done over the same NFS share mounted on both nodes ( attached via the gui ). What I have seen is the...

    Backup Size

    I guess you could observe if the backup size increases and the disk usage inside the VM doesn't then you could zero again..

    Auto Scalability

    For memory you can use virtio-balloon. If you configure memory with automatic allocation within a range and you have virtio balloon driver installed in the guest VM it just works.
