    Test HA on 2 server proxmox on VirtualBox

    for virtualbox fencing, this might work https://code.google.com/p/fencevbox/ or you can run a virtual proxmox cluster in proxmox and use the fence_pve device, which has a man page.

    Needs for HA system

    The tricky part is between the fail and failover. when a node is down, the other nodes dont know if it just hung, or something else happend. if they decide to failover, and the "down" nodes was just hung up for a bit, you'll suddenly have to virtual machines (two instances of the "same" one)...

    sub forum for scripting/developing proxmox?

    Should we have a separate forum for scripting/developing proxmox? splitting off the networking/firewall one seemed to go well.

    api changes mac address unessescarily

    changing the bridge of an interface, or even setting the interface with an equal setting, seems to create a new one. it changes the mac address unless you explicitly set that to be the same. root@proxmox1:~# pvesh get /nodes/proxmox1/qemu/100/config | grep net2 "net2" ...

    IP of the VM or VZ on Datacerver config

    if the VM is using an image accessable from the host you can mount it like this, qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 -P 1 vm-100-disk-1.qcow2 mount /dev/nbd0 /some/mount/point then, when your script is done changing its network config, have it unmount and release the nbd device, umount...

    necessary to encrypt data between 2 hosts?

    when in doubt, run wireshark or tcpdump on that network and see for yourself. securing layer 2 (where the switches and bridges are) is a broad topic. in this case, i would make a bridge just for those two nodes to communicate and not let anything else on it. its the virtual equivalent of a...

    pinning HA migrations to specific hosts

    i found failover domains with google. heres the licensing overview. its pretty clear that you can only move virtual instances to physical nodes with enough licenses. still need to work out the details. ive done openstack and it was much easier than this figuring out this licensing nonsense...

    Virtual SAN

    I would make a 2 node ceph cluster and add a third node just to be a monitor. the 3rd monitor doesnt have to be much, just reasonably reliable. its only there for quorum. set replica size to 2 for now. you can change it later.

    it said there were no results and asked me to make the page. the howto page didnt have failover either. is there another term?

    [SOLVED] invisible bridge

    it let me do that, but after rebooting, vmbr1 didnt exist. i had to give it an ip address just to get it to stay.

    pinning HA migrations to specific hosts

    So windows server is licensed specifically to physical hosts. It seems (im not a lawyer), that to run windows server in an HA environment, you actually need to license windows to all physical hosts. since wed rather only pay double than a whole set of licenses for each physical node, is there a...

    [SOLVED] invisible bridge

    can you make a vmbr on a bond with no ip address? i tried, but the host only creates the bond, not the bridge. (ifconfig could not find it) tried adding a guest but that failed saying vmbr1 doesnt exist. added an address and it worked. was hoping to keep the bridge invisible on the network.

    Virtual SAN

    setting up is not hard if you happen to use ansible. inktank,the makers of ceph, maintain a nice set of roles and playbooks for it. its worth diving into some theory, but it mostly just works. to add it to your proxmox cluster, you copy one file, /etc/ceph/ceph.client.admin.keyring to...
