    Storing Virtual Disks/Containers not on the root drive - HowTO Guide

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you follow these instructions you won't be able to snapshot backup your LVM's because you've allocated the whole disk to the volume group...

    Win2k extremely slow after migration from vmware

    I, by no means, am an expert nor do I claim to be (I don't even play one on T.V. :)... However, for anyone to be of any use to you, you need to go into a little more detail about what you consider "slow"... Do you have actual before/after benchmarks to share? What part of the server is slow...

    Largest Proxmox Install?

    Well, we certainly aren't the largest, but we are running 4 hosts with approximately 50 VM's total - all live, all production. Our main machine is a Dell 1950 with 2 x Quad Core processors , 16GB RAM, and 4 x 15K RPM SAS Drives in RAID-5 setup. The other 3 machines are Quad-Core Q9550's with...

    ProxMox v1.5 with Gluster storage system

    I am currently facing two problems with my ProxMox installation... I currently have 4 machines running ProxMox with approximately 50 or so VM's... Each host is configured with 2 drives, 1 for /var/lib/vz and the other for /backup. #1 - I only have enough hard drive space in each host to save...

    Disk space differences?

    On a similar note, I had a container that says (in proxmox) that it takes up 24GB of disk space (the allocated space is 128GB), yes when I ran the vzdump it reached over 150GB before I stopped it (I couldn't wait any longer, I had to bring the machines back up)... Any ideas?

    Disk space differences?

    As I mentioned in one of my other posts, I am currently migrating from ProxMox v1.1 to v1.5... During this process, I noticed something strange.. I've only had a chance to move 1 VM so far so I can't say if it is consistent, but the one I did move took up 121GB on ProxMox v1.1 and only 70GB on...

    Upgrading ProxMox v1.1 to v1.5 doesn't work....

    I understand that, that's why I asked if the upgrade I outlined above would work... Here it is again in perhaps simpler terms... 1. Disassociate the cluster back into separate servers (how do I do this?) 2. Shutdown all of the virtual machines 3. Use vzdump to backup all of the containers to...

    Upgrading ProxMox v1.1 to v1.5 doesn't work....

    I was under the impression that going from v1.1 to v1.4 wouldn't work using apt-get because too many things have changed (and hence why the scripts were written to help facilitate those changes). Ok, so will my migration work that I've outlined above?

    Upgrading ProxMox v1.1 to v1.5 doesn't work....

    I tried following the upgrade instructions listed here http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Downloads, but this step is failing: wget http://pve.proxmox.com/debian/dists/lenny/pve-upgrade-1.1-to-1.4 Which is obviously the main part... How can I upgrade from v1.1 to v1.4? I am running in a clustered...

    Kernel modules inside a container

    Are kernel modules available inside a container? I am trying to setup MediaProxy which requires iptables and iptable_nat to be loaded, but the default virtual installation of debian 5.0 (downloaded from your site) doesn't contain the kernel module utilities. I installed the utilities with...

    source for pve-kvm.deb

    You are assuming that they wish to run Mac OSX on non-apple hardware, in which case you would be correct - however, linux runs on Mac hardware as well... Taken from http://d4wiki.goddamm.it/index.php/Howto:_Mac_OSX_on_KVM "While the EULA clearly states, that running Mac OS X only once and only...

    PVE not displaying the full hostname?

    Right, which is great if you know that 208234 is a web server and 199128 is a dns server and 204152 is your database server for customer X... I manage hundreds of servers, yes - I have a list of domain names to container ID's, it's just very inconvenient... Certainly you could make something...

    PVE not displaying the full hostname?

    Certainly I can't be the only person running into this. I have several OpenVZ containers running (www.website1.com, www.website2.com, etc) and on the OpenVZ screen all I see for the hostname is the 'www' part, is there some way to enable PVE to display the whole name? It makes it very...
