    [SOLVED] Attach a raw image as a USB disk to the VM

    Hi LnxBil, Thank you for the information. (I did search the forums, but could find it :( ) Anyway, I would like to report that this works for me, with a little modification. Using the line from the website as-is emitted a warning: # qm start 103 Running as unit 103.scope. WARNING: Image...

    [SOLVED] Attach a raw image as a USB disk to the VM

    Hi, Is there a way from the WebGUI (or via editing the config) to attach/create a usb disk to the VM ? That is, the attached raw image file will show up as a USB device from inside the VM. Regards, Shantanu

    Add option to disable ballooning

    Hi, Could you add an option in the WebGUI to explicitly disable ballooning, which would add balloon: 0 in the config file. This is useful when I want to use the virtio-9p filesystem pass-through setting . (virtio-9p fails if ballooning is enabled, which seems to be the default) For now, I am...

    differences between IDE / VIRTIO / SCSI

    Hi, My question is sort of related to this, so here goes. We have a 30 vm (nearly all linux) setup with all of them IDE drives. These machines are always switched on and working (builds). They were created quite some time back. I was thinking of converting the drives to SCSI (or Virtio) to...

    Updating all Proxmox Nodes Simultaneously

    In case you want to save some time, one can rsync the apt cache from the first node onto the next one. The upgrade on the second node will thus not download the data again! I always do this, works great for me! Regards, Shantanu Gadgil

    P2V Linux

    Hi, I have successfully migrated physical machines into ProxmoxVE VMs successfully. They include RHEL4, RHEL5, RHEL6, SLES10 and SLES11. Both 32 and 64 bit. These were done manually by live booting the physical machine and rsyncing the file system into the VM's newly created HDD. The details...

    spiceproxy remote viewer fails in cluster mode

    Hi, When I login via one host IP and start the SPICE console of a VM on another host, it fails with the error "Unable to connect to the graphic server ..." When I login via the machine where the VM actually resides, it works. Regards, Shantanu

    shared virtual disks among different VMs on same host

    Hi, I tried the 'qm' command-line as e100 suggested, but could figure out how to specify the 'already existing' virtual disk file on the command-line. So, I just edited the conf file of the VMs and copy-pasted the ide1 line from the first VM into the other VMs. It was quite simple, though...

    shared virtual disks among different VMs on same host

    I used e100's advice except couldn't set the virtual disk via command-line so I just edited the .conf directly. Couldn't believe it was that simple! :) I copied the 'ide0' line and made it 'ide1' and pointed to the same file in each VM. I do wish there was some straightforward way in the...

    shared virtual disks among different VMs on same host

    Hi, Is it possible to create a shared virtual disk for *data* among VMs to simulate a "shared LUNs" (fiber channel) scenario. Is it possible to do this on a single physical host with just local disk(s) for storage. So, is the following scenario possible? Single machine with a SATA drive of...

    Install Proxmox VE 2.0 Final via PXE?

    Hi, Great work on the 2.0 release. Really slick UI and everything!!! Something I really miss and have been eagerly waiting for is to be able to install from a standard PXE server. Any news/update on whether we can install PVE 2.0 Final using a standard PXE server ? Thanks and Regards, Shantanu
