Hello Unni, As a newbie myself I cannot help you w your blank screen issue. But when it comes to VM vs CT it seems that CT performs (slightly) better for at least the following reasons: - only application is loaded in CT, no OS (i.e. Linux) is loaded because its already running "under the hood"...

On the other hand, storage overhead for an LVM VG (volume group) might be much lower initially (say M as the overhead percentage for a single PV, with M <<1.0, that is, very or quite low). However, as I understood it, LVM meta data is duplicated to every PV in the VG and M will increase for...

Let's now turn from RAID to LVM: When I recently tried to install PVE 3.x I was unhappily surprised to see my carefully prepared partitioning and formatting scheme to be messed up. Instead of complaining I started reading on LVM (from which I knew nothing). I concluded that adding LVM to...

First of all: thumbs up for Dominic for writing the PVE-on-software-RAID and for Tom to add a Wiki page on this. When reading the English translation of the HowTo (I can read German but English is second nature :-) it occured to me that: - activating PVE on sw RAID is not an easy task; - it...

Bonding continued ... When using bonding for bandwidth reasons I guess Pirateghost is right, for you might want (or need) to set up channel interfaces (multiple NIC/link interfaces that are controlled by special link protocoles like LACP). For the latter you need intelligent (managed) switches...

2) Bonding I would consider part of a L2 (OSI layer 2) solution. Such solution allows a single (virtual) MAC address to be shared between multiple NICs. If bonding were to be used for availability then I agree w Dietmar that using 4 NICs is overkill. But to get more bandwidth 4 NICs could be...

The above only works for incoming sessions. If the server/host needs to use multiple NICS for initiation of sessions from its own side then maybe NAT overload would be needed (a technique that allows multiple NICS (not necessarily on the same server) share a single IP address for outgoing...

Hi Rob, Possible solutions depend on what you want to achieve. Some ideas on this: 1) host name load balancing: if you want to make your (web) service highly available or increase its nwk througput, then you can give each of your NICS its own IP address (not even necessarily in the same...

Brad, As a newbie to ProxMox I'm afraid I cannot be of anymore help to you. But concerning the RGManager issue: are you talking IP multicast here?! Clever that you found the problem. I recall loosing my IPTV signal once when connecting my provider router TV port to a newly created VLAN meant...

And some more: File systems: since I want to integrate my real environment w my virtual environment I will use cifs/smb for my Windows clients and probably nfs for my ProxMox nodes, Linux clients (real and virtual) and nfs for rsync backups. I can't advise you on VM backups. I will have to...

Sorry I was not able to finish my reply earlier, here it comes: Since you only have one node you might consider sw RAID instead of hw RAID. At the cost of a small (?) performance penalty you'll be able to recreate your "software RAID controller" after it crashed. Having said this I will not...

Hello Ipallard, As a ProxMox newbie myself I cannot advise you. But I can share some thoughts w u with respect to your three key elements: - data reliability and integrity: IMO these elements refer to the protection from tampering of your data by someone. Protective measures for this may...

Hi Brad, It might not be of much help but a couple of hours ago I stumbled over this page: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Migration It contains some syntaxs examples as well as known problems. Steijn

Hi Decibel83, As a network guy this problem puzzles me. The first thing that comes up with me is internal FWs on the real(?) hosts. By default Win7 and 8 will not respond to ping. But then you say CT0 does get response. So just to make sure: 0) did you have to reconfigure FWs (firewalls) to...

Hello Vincent, As a newbie I would not know if there is an IPv4 HowTo, let alone an IPv6 HowTo. Such a HowTo might be quite hefty since there is many options for connecting VMs to the real nwk. Just think of bridging or routing, TUN vs TAP interfaces, vSwitches, using virtualized real NICs vs...

Hello community, Here's my third post on this forum. Last year I spent very little time on building my two ProxMox servers for sad reasons, but I made some progress, still. I gained some more experience on Linux (including making NSF shares with my Netgear NAS, VLAN trunking on my NICs - got...

Fozzieb, I am sorry to hear that you didn't get the card running so far. Maybe you could try changing some settings in the (on card) BIOS as I did with my Marvell?! Like Tom says, it's not a hardware RAID adapter. But when I read about this, I figured I for its interesting price I could do...

Hi Fozzieb, I didn't buy the Adaptec card in the end (or so far), because I changed focus from expanding my exisitng server to building a second one. Reason being that when I read about ProxMox clustering I really wanted to experiment with that as well. Building the second server took me quite...
