Hello, Any plans to add monthly backups to the backup interface?

Hi, Most of the ones listed on this page are outdated Raid controllers. https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Raid_controller Searching some these on the list are coming up with no longer in stock or discontinued by the manufacturers. Do you have an updated list of recommended Raid controllers to get...

Like you I used ESXi but for the last 3 years I have replaced ESXi for the Proxmox hypervisor. I have used IPcop and Pfsense with success on Proxmox. You will have to do some command line editing to setup the bridge for Pfsense, which is easy to do. This tutorial helped me set it up...

Just switch from the default display setting to standard vga to get it to boot up just fine. I have also tried using spice and it works equally well.

Hello all, I have just installed the latest version of Proxmox 3. pveversion -v pve-manager: 3.1-3 (running version: 3.1-3/dc0e9b0e) pve-kernel-2.6.32-23-pve: 2.6.32-109 lvm2: 2.02.98-pve4 clvm: 2.02.98-pve4 corosync-pve: 1.4.5-1 openais-pve: 1.1.4-3 libqb0: 0.11.1-2 redhat-cluster-pve...

Hello, My Proxmox host crash while in the process of backing up KVM virtual machines. Attached is the screenshot of the error I got on the console. I was using lzop for the scheduled backup. I have changed that to gzip and the schedule ran last night without locking up the host. What could...

When you're logged in via putty type cd /. Which takes you to root dir, from there you can use the commands i posted earlier.

Welcome to Linux! You could login via shell by clicking shell right next to restart, shutdown from the proxmox web gui. From there you can go into the directory you created when you setup your backup storage. Delete the backups you don't need to reclaim some HD space. You can also type at...

After installing an HD Pull out bay to hold a 2TB HD for backups on Promox host node A. I added this under storage to be used only for backups. I also enabled shared for this backup storage. I have two promox host nodes, both are clustered without using HA. From the web gui expanding proxmox...

Hello, Currently when I create a new virtual machine on Proxmox 2.3, I also have to add the new virtual machine into the backup schedule I have created. It would be nice during the virtual machine creation to add another step where it prompts you if you want to add the virtual machine you're...

I only have two Proxmox nodes at the moment which I want to join as a cluster. I have no plans of using HA, just want to be able to manage both Proxmox nodes using one web interface and do live migration. I have upgraded both nodes to the latest versions as shown here as you can see the only...

Hi Martin, Same as with me a trip to Germany is not feasible due to budget constraints. But if you can offer video tutorials similar to what trainsignal.com or lynda.com does, I know for a fact I can have my work place pay for it.

Hi Chris, could you send your vps website so i can check out your plans? Joe

Hi everyone, For the past week or so I have been testing out different VPS providers. I find most of the providers either use Open VZ or Xen. From all of the providers I considered using a VPS from none offered KVM, which I would have preferred to use. Are there any out there? I love Proxmox...

Try this link it shows how to convert different image formats. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/QEMU/Images#Converting_image_formats

I believe you could only do snapshots if you're using a qcow2 disk.

I know Tom mentioned if you see a message "INFO: ERROR: incomplete read detected" => that points to a full snapshot. But I also knew I had enough free space on the local storage as well as the backup storage. Through trial and error I was able to make my backups work consistently...

Now that you have your backup hd mounted go in there and try to run the command http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Qmrestore_manual qmrestore --storage (name of LVM container) raid1data vzdump-qemu-555.tgz 500 (500 is the example ID to register the vm)

I was testing different settings to resolve my backup failures with a large vm. I tried changing it to use gzip from lzo to see if it succeeds this too failed. I was able to finally make the backup work after I changed the setting in vzdump.conf to use size: 2048. The backup took an hour to...

During a scheduled backup the backup succeeds to backup all of the virtual machines but it causes one virtual machine to crash. This virtual machine is an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server, the data size for this vm which gets backup amounts to 132 GB. I could not even stop or shutdown the vm through the...
