    Problem with HA & DRBD

    I would not recommend HA with just 2 nodes.Try to disable HA to keep things simple. If drbd is correctly configured in dual primary mode you should not loose infirmation as drbd sync data on both nodes in real time.So something is wrong there. Also I would recommend using separate network...

    Problem with HA & DRBD

    hello, Red icon on cluster nodes usually show cluster communication issue but you must provide contents of syslog for more info. DRBD status shows that you have connectivity issues between nodes or you have a split brain situation which you must manually resolve using the apropriate drbdadm...

    Nesting Virtualization Status

    I've also tried with both 2.6.x and 3.10 kernel. I managed to have some success with 3.10 which was the only correctly passing vmx to the guest vm (by selecting "cpu host" as vm cpu and "kvm-nested 1" on /etc/modules). Although I only managed to get only proxmox virtualized as a guest...

    Some Windows guests hanging every night

    hello I am also using DRBD but in dual primary mode. Your setup looks a bit strange.Seems that you want to have the benefits of DRBD (real time replication) but using a non clustered filesysten like XFS on top of it. Of course you will answer, that's why I use it in primary/secondary mode, to...

    GlusteFS + qcow2 + Live Migration AND GlusterFS question about connection interrupt

    Re: GlusteFS + qcow2 + Live Migration AND GlusterFS question about connection interru Each one has pros and cons. I would prefer DRBD because it's faster than Gluster and more mature (long time tested). Cons are that it does not scale so well. It would be better if you follow Glusterfs or DRBD...

    Windows 2012 idle CPU usage

    You mean by adding this in vm.conf? args: string Note: this option is for experts only. It allows you to pass arbitrary arguments to kvm, for example: args: -no-reboot -no-hpet

    setup HA - needed steps

    HA is heavily dependant on fencing so make sure you test that very well before proceeding to production: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Fencing Also as far as I know PDUs are the recommended way to go instead of ipmi.

    drbd and lvm - only qemu images? no backup, no iso ? why ?

    Each storage system has it's pros and cons. I didn't say that glusterfs is perfect.I mentioned it as a second option to achieve your goals. Personally I am using two node drbd cluster for vms (no HA) and a NAS (nfs server) for backups. I can live migrate vms with drbd (dual primary mode) and put...

    drbd and lvm - only qemu images? no backup, no iso ? why ?

    of course not...ext4 is not considered a clustered filesystem. If you do it then your vms will get corrupted since ext4 is not allowed to be mounted from both nodes at the same time. If you really need qcow2 and it's snapshot capability then try glusterfs instead of drbd.

    drbd and lvm - only qemu images? no backup, no iso ? why ?

    You can do it only by storing vms directly on lvm volume (without filesystem). qcow2 and other filebased vm disk formats are not allowed in this setup. Your backups must be stored on separate storage for example NFS. To acomplish this configuration follow this guide carefully...

    How to enter safe mode in windows 2003 f8 does not work

    Does it work with other vms? Did you focus with your mouse on novnc screen prior pressing f8? The last thing i can think is that MBR is corrupted on this particular vm thats why it does not give you the options.
