Just one node with several virtual machine running on local disks. The linux system have suddenly lost write access to /dev/mapper/pve-root. I have tried to remount it into rw state but I can't. The drive /dev/mapped/pve-data and the lvm partitions are working as normal. Would be nice if...

I have lately experienced that my root filesystem on Proxmox 2.3 have been locked. I like to reboot the server but want to backup the vm's before the reboot just in case anything goes wrong. This is not possible because vzdump needs write access to root drive. Is it possible to solve this in...

I agree. This is a much needed option. Consider this scenario: I backup all my virtual machines and the backup is about 500 GB every day. And I also want to transport the copy on a encrypted external drive to bring all data out of the house for security reasons. The copy job takes several hours...

Okay. Thank you! Then why not recommend it in the Proxmox wiki for Windows 2008? )-|algeir

Have two questions: 1) I have been running VIRTIO storage drivers on Windows 2008 R2 now for a long time and never experienced anything wrong with it. Have anyone experienced any problems with VIRTIO drivers on Windows 2008 R2 quests? In the wiki - Windows 2008 quest best practices - it's...

I understand now. Thank you for the help! )-|algeir

So correct me if I wrong: The backup option uses the vzdump command and archive the vm to a file the same way Proxmox 1.x did (?). The snapshot option I'm a bit unsure of. What happens when I choose snapshot. Is the snapshot saved in an external file so I can restore it later the same way as...

Can someone explain to me the difference between snapshot or backup choice in the 2.x gui. What is really happening in the background when I run these functions? )-|algeir

Missing the bnx2x 6.0 firmware: /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1-6.0.34.0.fw /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e1h-6.0.34.0.fw /lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-6.0.34.0.fw -Halgeir

Thank you! Had a look inside and found that it didn't include the bnx2 6.0 update. Or am I wrong?

Is the bnx 2 firmware included in Promox VE 1.8 for kernel 2.6.32 / 2.6.35? :)-|algeir

Great I'm look forward to this. So far I have been careful not to upgrade a setup which work. Hope this release will address some problems related to incompability with some HP DL 380 G6 servers but that is another issue not related to this thread. But one thing you do is to provide a virtual...

Good idea! I will prepare something for the wiki. :)-|algeir

I'm missing the option about using Vmware MIgration Tool in the guide. When I wanted to migrate a server from installation on a HP RAID1/5 disk system to kvm I tried everything. The windows server would not boot at all. Nothing worked. Finally I used Vmware Migration Tool to convert the server...

Sorry about the late reply. Have been a bit occupied lately. Have you solved the problem? If not give me an email address and I can send the drivers to you.

No, it's not a typo. I have it here. :)-|algeir

Om not only running OpenVz but I can still help out. 1. No. On a HP Proliant DL380 G6 server I had to upgrade the firmware by using the latest firmware bootcd. Afterwards Promox started with no problems. I still have some issues if I install the HP Debian Tool. So I don't use it now. Now the...

Yes, that was the problem. I have solved it now. But should the vzdump command hang when it runs out of disk space? I would be better if it reported "out of diskspace" and the abort the backupprocess?

You have to commit the snapshot to one vmdk image first. I Googled this thread: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/81123 Afterwards use the qemu-img command to convert the vmdk file to a qcow2/raw file. The syntax of the qemu-img convert: qemu-img convert vmwareimage.vmdk -O qcow2...

Today I experienced that the vzdump process hanged. I used the backup stop option. Had to kill the vzdump process, unlock and start the virtual machine to get everything up in the morning. Is it possible to have a timeout option which can terminate the backup if it's not completed after x hours?
