Ultimately, I'm think Jinjer is looking for the same answer I am.. I have several ProxMox machines already in a cluster, and currently each is running with independent drives, I'm trying to find the best solution to the long migration times (took me almost 14 hours to migrate a machine the other...

Just a quick question, what is the best/proper way to configure your iSCSI targets, should I do a single iSCSI target and create all of the VM's on it, or should I do a seperate iSCSI target/map for each VM? And why... ;) I'm thinking I should create a new volume/map/target for each VM...

All of the drives are on the raid card. The first drive (drive #0) on the raid card is setup as a pass-thru drive formatted & installed with the OS. The bios is set to boot off of the raid card. The raid card is set to boot off the first drive. Everything works fine if I don't have a...

I'm talking about the physical hardware node, and that is what has the RAID in it. It doesn't matter what operating system I install on it, if the data raid is partitioned - it won't boot. If I go into the RAID manager and re-init, re-create the partition I can boot fine again. As soon as I...

Yes, the page is just a MediaWiki "Special Page" that is an index of all known pages, so it will automatically update itself as pages are added. Yes, it is - and that's GREAT if you know how to do it, or what "Special Pages" means... Since most of us (I assume) are NOT MediaWiki...

I just created a simple page called 'Help' that will give you a link to an index of all of the pages on the Wiki. To use it, go to the wiki HERE, type "help" in the search box on the left hand side of the Wiki and press enter or click Go. I don't know about you, but I found this very...

I'm hoping someone here might have the answer to this problem, it's been driving me nuts for a week now. I have an Adaptec 5805z controller card installed in a machine, the machine has 1 x 120GB 7,200 RPM SATA2 7 x 500GB 7,200 RPM SATA2 I have drive #0 setup as a "Volume" for my boot...

Nobody knows of a good way to test HD performance? Preferrably local or NAS drives...

Can anyone explain why pveperf, hdparm, and bonnie all show a significant improvement in throughput under a container vs. the host? For example, I am seeing... Host PVEPerf Buf. Reads @ 87.84 MB/sec, Guests from 186-346 MB/sec Host hdParm Buf. Reads @ 87.60 MB/sec, Guests from 278-367...

What's the status on this? Has it made it into production yet?

How do you implement KSM? I've checked my default install of the latest ProxMox build and it doesn't seem to be enabled in the kernel. Is there something that supports OpenVZ -AND- KVM w/KSM? And it's not so much an issue of overcommitting (which I am doing with OpenVZ because it never gets...

Yes, it's is encouraged to do as JustaGuy says and leave ProxMox a virgin install (or as close as possible) and run any and all additional services in a VM.

I like how Tom dodged the actual question of "Which is best?", however I bet I can read his mind! Tom will say "What is best is different for everybody!". I would like to know the answer to this question as well, but unfortunately I know it's not that simple and Tom is correct.

Did you check the drive with smartmontools to see if there were any S.M.A.R.T. hiccups? Did you have any warning messages in your kernel log?

So are we saying that OpenVZ itself isn't a viable option? We've been running it because we have 8GB of RAM and a bunch of servers (MySQL, Apache, etc) that take advantage of the shared RAM space. To the best of my knowledge, KVM needs to hard-chop the RAM and it can't expand/detract...

What features (other than snapshot, and growing disk space) does qcow2 have? I checked Wikipedia but it wasn't very helpful..

We had a server crash recently (power supply died, turns out we were running 150 watt power supplies in our 3U rackmount servers and they just couldn't keep up with 6 hard drives, raid card, etc... Surprised it worked at all! LOL!).... Anyways, we've been having some big problems keeping up...

I'm looking for a nice, elegant solution to (what I think) is a typical data center problem. I'm looking to setup something like the following: 2 OpenFiler boxes with 8 x SATA drives each on 5805z controllers in RAID config (RAID-6? or large RAID-10 probably). These will be the /var/lib/vz...

Looks like you had much better fsyncs/second with 2.6.32 than with 2.6.18 though, or are my eyes failing me...

Ok, I have a couple Intel ET NIC's on order, but in the meantime I downloaded the latest ethernet drivers from Realtek, compiled, installed, and forced the update to initramfs. So far, everything is working great (not only did my kernel panics seem to go away, but our throughput is even...
