    Thank you. That helps, and restarting pvestatd helped. (actuallly it had died, apparently).

    Console suddenly no longer showing VE names (only numbers) ?

    It's actually a standalone server, not a cluster. I will try restarting, but I would also like to know what causes this so it can be avoided in future.

    Console suddenly no longer showing VE names (only numbers) ?

    Hello, My PVE Server Console suddenly lost all VE names, showing only numbers, regardless of which view (Server or Folder). Everything looked ok, I went and had supper, and when I came back, the VE names were no longer shown in the list of VEs, only numbers. If I click on a specific VE, I can...

    Install Problem: "Unable to create volume group at /usr/bin/proxmoxinstall line 534"

    We are getting this message when trying to install PVE 1.5 on a machine where the install worked once already. Any idea what causes it? That would help us troubleshoot it. First we thought it was a bad disk and swapped disks, but the next disk had the same problem. Then we thought of...

    Novel Failover Idea?

    I hope this is a novel idea and that it is feasible: If I have two nodes (node1 and node2) with a DRBD shared storage between them, could I copy /etc/qemu-server on each server to /shared_storage/etc/qemu-server-nodeX and then replace the original directory on each node with a symlink to the...

    Multiple Networks/NICs ?

    For the external IF, with a public IP address, can I give the KVM guest the same IP Address as the corresponding Bridge on the host? If not, is there a way to connect the KVM guest to an external IP address without assigning another one in the same subnet to the bridge on the host? They are in...

    Multiple Networks/NICs ?

    Yes, that was the first thing I looked at. So I added a section for each of vmbr1-3 to /etc/network/interfaces. Then I rebooted the machine, and when it was back up, my vmbr1-3 blocks were gone, and instead there was a line for each ethernet card there, which hadn't been there before: iface...

    Multiple Networks/NICs ?

    Hello, the virtual machines I need to run on my proxmox are attached to multiple networks: (a) A firewall appliance which is attached to the WAN router and the LAN (b) An Asterisk server attched to (another) WAN router, LAN, and a special VoIP LAN The host machine has four NICs, one of which...

    Static IP Address for Bridged OpenVZ VMs?

    Really? So far, after creating an OpenVZ VM with bridged network I have simply gone to a ssh session on the PVE server and typed, vzctl set VMID --ipadd 192.168.0.xxx --save before starting the VM, and this seems to work just fine. It seems that if the GUI provided an input field for the IP...

    Static IP Address for Bridged OpenVZ VMs?

    I have been wondering about the fact that when one selects "Bridged" for the network of a new OpenVZ virtual machine, there is no option to specify an IP address in the GUI screen. Is the assumption that all virtual machines will get their IP information via DHCP? If so, it would be nice if...

    Proxmox installation onto a usb hard drive

    I fixed my /dev/sda MBR, so all is well on that front. As for the PVE on the external USB, here is the approach I am trying: i booted the notebook into Ubuntu, installed lvm and kpvm, and mounted pve-root and pve-data under /mnt/pve-root and /mnt/pve-data, respectively. Mounted another...

    Proxmox installation onto a usb hard drive

    I have exactly the same problem when I installed to a 500GB external USB drive. Doesn't find its root partition via the parameter /dev/mapper/pve-root. Is there some other way to tell it (in Grub's menu.lst) which device is root? The USB drive is /dev/sdb. Unfortunately, it also re-wrote the...

    VNC Console for the Proxmox Server (Host)?

    I'll give you one example, and then I consider that particular discussion closed (at least, I won't reply any longer) because I don't think it's helping anything or going anywhere. I do part-time tech support at an international K-12 school, together with one fulltime guy. We are rarely at...

    VNC Console for the Proxmox Server (Host)?

    We could debate this forever. It's obviously not as far out as you make it out to be or Tom would not have said that they thought about it. And I can think of situations where this would be useful that do not involve "some random system out there". I have a dedicated server with a German...

    Additional storage

    Actually just tried this and it works. You have to also unmount the device mounted on /var/lib/vz by default after copying the data to your external disk. And make sure you stop all the VMs before copying and changing the mounts or you will run into some snags.

    Additional storage

    I suppose if all VMs are stored in /var/lib/vz, and you had a separate hard disk or partition for the purpose of storing the VMs, you could just mount that disk or partition as /var/lib/vz instead of as /data -- having first mounted it somewhere else and copied the original contents of...

    VNC Console for the Proxmox Server (Host)?

    Mangoo: There is of course absolutely nothing wrong with ssh access. But just as it is convenient to have the Java/VNC console for the virtual machines, it would be convenient to have the Java/VNC console for the server. Think of a situation where you are in front of some PC which has a browser...

    Additional storage

    I suppose by "do a custom configuration" you mean go into the installed Proxmox server, add your storage, and then mount it where PVE expects to find its local storage?
