I noticied that the 4.4 version seems to use all the available swap space. In my 1.x, 2.x, 3.x installations I never had this problem. I can solve it with a "swapoff -a && swapon -a", but I can't understad why this happen and how I can solve it. The host phisycal memory is 32 GB. The total VMs...

I can't understand. What exactly mean "run OpenVZ 3.4 inside a VM on 4.x"? How can do this? N.B.: my real interest is moving some CentOS 5.x containers from 3.x to 4.x. Without convert it to KVM (because they require some hundred GB disk space and previous solutions based on KVM or KVM + NFS...

Can you detail? You mean install a proxmox 3.4 into a KVM virtual inside a 4.x Proxmox? Thanks, P. P.S.: for the original question: I restore the containers using the tricks: pct restore id backup.tar.gz --rootfs local:0 In a storage NOT in lvm-thin format, so I can access the files...

Thanks. Archived ... Searching in old downloads, I had found also olds 1.x images, but just miss any 2.x images; now my "collection" is complete ;-) That is the way I discovered the "problem" ... I copied the original 181.conf At the end, only changed the image file name in .raw and added...

It reports that the image is in raw format. And it is right. Despite the name says it is a qcow2 and in the in the config file it is indicated as qcow2, it is a raw image. Proxmox2 probably don't care of this :-) My main mistake was to believe in what I had found in the config file, and also...

An old Proxmox 2.x server with a Win 2008 VM that works fine from some years had physical problems (Mother Board). Copied VM image to another temporary server (old PC with an old Promox 2.3 installation used for tests), and it works fine. Trying to activate the same image (verified checksum)...

Done some experiments with vzdump/vzrestore & c. OpenVZ CT CentOS-7-x86_64 + VirtualMin Works fine. If I do a vzdump and vzrestore it on the same server or into another, the clone works fine except for apache CGI and FastCGI that don't works. After many investigations I found that in the cloned...

I have read the docs (this and others, not all ;-) ) and done some tests. --suspend doesn't works in this situation --stop works, but I don't like it ;-) vzdump is a nice script that does the work using various technics/tricks. I am asking if there is a way to say it to force the backup without...

Vzdump can't complete the backup of an openvz VM. Ok, the cause is an open console or a midnight panel in the VM three or ... Is there a way/option/parameter/trick/... to force the backup (at my risk)? Thanks, P.

I am not a guru, but know a little of Proxmox and OVH. Proxmox support hardware RAID. It doesn't supply support for software raid. You can install Proxmox to a single disk and next convert it to a RAID software configuration (I did it in 1.x, 2.x and 3.x (more complicated with GPT ...). OVH...

Can you give me some examples or links (possibly related to Proxmox)? Thanks, P

On my Proxmox box I have 2 nics (eth0, eth1) Standard config maps vmbr0 to eth0 as usual. I added vmbr1 and bridged it to eth1. No problem. Now I want to create vmbr2, vmbr3, vmbr4 and have the traffic on the VMs that use these interfaces, go through eth1. Obviously, I have the usual limit...

Tried in the past the turnkey-fileserver template. I am not a OpenVZ guru, but it seems to me that a samba in the host is a simpler and better solution. It works fine and I can export some shares to the VMs via NFS very simply and very efficiently. Considered 16-32 GB RAM. The VM are currently...

Am I the only one with these needs? Thanks, P.

Hi, new Proxmox install; I want use this installation as "all-in-one" server for the LAN infrastructure. So I want use a Proxmox box to run: - a VM mail server (KVM, Debian), (100 GB) - a Win 2003 VM (migration of current physical that host same legacy applications), (60 GB) - a CentOS VM...

:-) I have done the RTFM step before posting :-) In my request I ask for a "trivial" way to do something that, in my mind (may be I am wrong), is relatively simple. From the docs (included the reported link), seems simpler to do this administrative tasks from command line that form the GUI. A...

It is probably obvious and I'm blind, but I don't see a trivial way to define from the GUI, a user who can only manage some VM (start, stop. reboot, open console), and nothing else. :-) Where is the trick? Thanks, P.

So, do you say that generally x64 is better (if there is enough RAM). My standard VMs have 0.5-1 GB (DNS,monitoring, list server, ...), 2 GB (standard httpd, mail proxy), 4 GB (medium httpd +MySQL, ...). How much RAM is the minimun suggested for using x64? In the past I had terrible experiencies...

Do you have any link? Amount of difference in performance (1,10,100%)? CPU/RAM/disks/net? Compatibilty issue using additional software (zend, php modules, ...)? Having no real needs for x64 at the moment, my interest is understand if starting now can be an investment for the future or if I can...

Are there advantage/disadvantages on using 32 o 64 bit guests (CentOS 6.x in my mind at the moment)? Atually my host had 16 GB ram. I don't think I need more than 4 GB ram for a couple of years in my guests, but I am interested in knowing if there are performance difference between 32 and 64...
