You can set the vlan tag outside of the VM when you create the vNIC for the virtual machine. My guess is that if you do not specify a tag then the VM will be able to access the whole trunk and you will be able to tag inside of the vm onto all of them VLAN's. This is exactly what you need yes...

Hi, You are thinking about this wrong. With Open vSwitch, you create a single bridge onto your bond. You then bridge your VM NIC's onto this bridge and specifiy the VLAN tag when you set up the vNIC. You could create multiple vNIC's and put each of them on a different VLAN... Or you might be...

Sure, here is the interface config file from one of my hosts: # network interface settings allow-vmbr0 mgmtvlan10 iface mgmtvlan10 inet static address 10.89.7.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 10.89.7.254 ovs_type OVSIntPort ovs_bridge vmbr0 ovs_options tag=10 auto lo...

Good to see you got it working. May I suggest you do some research on the Linux IPTables firewall in general as it helps to have an understanding of it before wildly playing with the rules in proxmox. Also as others have said.... You need to work with destination ports since these are the...

Since OpenvSwitch was introduced I would use it all the time instead of the native linux model. The easiest way to get it working is to build your proxmox hosts and get them on a network using the simple standard linux networking model. Then using the proxmox GUI, delete all the Linux network...

I am running 3.4 and have a HP P2000 G3 SAN which presents a number of LUNS over 10Gbit iSCSI to the proxmox hosts. On the hosts I added the iSCSI target then created a multi path device for each LUN (since I have 4 paths to the SAN per host) and then created an LVM group on each. The storage is...

I run a 16 node proxmox cluster with iSCSI as the storage backend exclusively. I can do online migrations as well.

I have a number of MS SQL and MySQL servers running on my proxmox cluster. Since I am using the proxmox backup feature, I also had to deal with consistent state DB backups. In the end, since I have the storage space available, I just run a native backup or dump of the database inside the VM so...

You use MPIO like we have mentioned above. Make sure your proxmox host can also reach your storage from the other interface as well an then configure an Multi path device as detailed in the wiki.

There is more than enough documentation on how to create a proxmox cluster, infact its step by step. What you need to decide is what type of storage you want to use for storage of VM disks so that both nodes are able to access the same VM disks should a node fail. You have a wide array of...

Yes you need shared storage. Either a SAN type set up or DRBD type distributed storage. May I suggest you look at clustering and shared storage HA set ups in general before jumping in at the deep end?

Yes there is 2. But these will probably be a bit out of date by now since the Proxmox developers are constantly adding new features. http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/18975-Mastering-Proxmox-a-book-about-Proxmox-VE-is-finally-available...

I will try to test this, but what version of fenc_drac5 is included with proxmox? Is it the newest build with the plug parameter? Also... I could just wait until 4.0 comes out so I can use watchdog fencing instead like VMWare.

If you can do it via USB then it sounds like proxmox was having trouble accessing the CD drive via the controller your server uses.

The host gets fenced (shutdown) not the vm. So yes your host experiencing failure will be hard shutdown by the fencing device (drac) and VM's managed by the HA service will be restarted on another host.

Cool, I might give it a go. So is it known that memory hotplug doesn't work in the 2.6 kernel?

You shouldn't use network load balancing with iSCSI. Instead you should use iSCSI's own multi pathing (MPIO) where by the iSCSI initiator on the hosts discovers multiple paths to the SAN if they are available. There is a rough guide available on here that I think has been linked to in the...

Is there somewhere we can submit it as a feature request? I think this would really bring it closer to being a drop in replacement for other hypervisors.

Many people do not realise just how secure the windows ntlm2 auth actually is. Providing you use a good password and don't have a ton of other ports / exploitable services open then there is no problem having RDP access enabled externally. Many many hosting providers do this already, its no...

Excellent nice one :-)
