    ProxMox inside virtualbox no guest networking

    Hi, I had tried this once, single Proxmox inside my VirtualBox. VB is running on my Windows 7 x64 desktop. Can you enable promiscuous mode for the network card in VirtualBox and try again? Maybe, that can help with the networking ?!? just a thought Regards, Shantanu

    Docker support in Proxmox

    I have been experimenting with nomad+consul to create VMs which are able to create dockers. A two tier architecture; * one set of nomad+consul monitors the VMs ("qm agent NNN network-get-interfaces" as a health check to mark machine is ONLINE) * second set of nomad+consul for the dockers created...

    Shared disk between VM's

    When you share a disk like that, the filesystem should be designed for such a disk sharing; example GFS2, OCFS, CFS (Veritas), etc. For experiments, GFS2 which is part of default CentOS and OCFS which is part of default Oracle Linux could be possible choices. HTH, Shantanu

    [SOLVED] qmrestore doesn't reserve VMID

    FWIW, if anyone stumbles upon this, the clone from existing VMID does indeed block/reserve the new VMID. So, a simple wait-and-retry loop will work. @dietmar can this be considered as a feature request for qmrestore as well? Thanks and Regards, Shantanu

    [SOLVED] qmrestore doesn't reserve VMID

    OK. Understood. :( I am doing a random wait and pgrepping on qmrestore to wait (for now), so that only one qmrestore runs at a time. It works, just seemed as if I was missing something obvious. Thanks, Shantanu

    [SOLVED] howto to uniquely identify a VM

    Hi, Is there a method (like a UUID) which can be associated with a VM to identify it uniquely, besides its VMID. I know that the VMID itself is unique in a cluster, but can I associate meta data (tag?) or something which would indicate the uniqueness of the VM. The scenario I want to guard...

    Where to place qcow2 converted disk in Prox 4.3

    For what I think, you have to have raw images on LVM thin. Also, LVM thin is different than the traditional directory based storage. http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Installation:_Tips_and_Tricks#Optional:_Reverting_Thin-LVM_to_.22old.22_Behavior_of_.2Fvar.2Flib.2Fvz_.28Proxmox_4.2_and_later.29...

    [SOLVED] Restore VM (from qcow2 PVE3 to Upgarded Server PVE4 LVM Thin) very slow

    I too faced lots of issues which seemed to be due to LVM Thin: 1. Slow (reaaallly slow restores) 2. Starting the VM's console would timeout (IO was 8-12%, usually it is under 1%) I quickly gave up on this and would be deleting the LVM Thin and using the "classic LVM". I know LVM Thin is the...

    [SOLVED] Download previous versions of Proxmox VE

    Hi, Could you provide links to the previous versions of Proxmox VE. Using the latest v 4.3, the default lvm-thin configuration is causing a lot of grief. Instead of deleting the LVM thin and recreating a normal LVM, I want to setup a workflow of installing 4.1 (which I think was the last...
