I know this is an old post... but has any consideration been put in to LXD? Probably is not viable for immediate adoption as it was only just released, but sometime in the future it may. The key being that it builds on top of LXC and offers live migration...
I have set this up on a couple of servers, but this one is giving me trouble, I am trying to figure out if the hardware is just not going to let it happen, or do I just need to tweek my config a bit more.
I am trying to pass through a 32 bit PCI card, have tried a couple of different random...
I guess this is more for posterity and reference as I didnt find much on it here...
Main questions- is this sane? am i missing anything?
Currently I have a RAW LVM storage media (block devices), on local volume group called VMStor1, and wish to move to a normal ext3 formatted array mounted at...
Re: pve 3 fails qm VMID set ide0 dev to add complete disk to vm
Thanks Dietmar - that worked, one last question, since i was able to mount a usb to my VM, is there a way to make it hotpluggable to the VM and send mount/unmount commands to it so that it can be cleanly removed without a VM...
Re: pve 3 fails qm VMID set ide0 dev to add complete disk to vm
replying to myself, it appears that I have narrowed this down to not being stored on ext3, although I am not sure how this matters if the it is being presented as a passthrough device. My USB drive is partitioned as:
sdc1: ext4...
Re: pve 3 fails qm VMID set ide0 dev to add complete disk to vm
Actually this appears to be an issue with adding any drive type, including qcows, adding virtio2 in the config below causes the vm to error on starting:
boot: ccn
bootdisk: virtio1
cores: 6
ide2...
Running pveversion pve-manager/3.0/0428106c
I have a 4tb USB3 drive attached to my server, and I wish to add the 2nd partition to a windows vm, but get errors when using qm set, or assigning it in the vm config, I have tried both ide0, and sata0, the entire dev, or just the partition, setting...
I guess from recent info on the wiki that qcow now being the default makes it the best format??
I am going to make a LVM volume, format it ext3 just like the default pve setup, and store my qcows on that.
In the past I have known that block devices on LVM are best, but I read a while back that qcow drivers have improved performance - so these days, what is the storage model sweet spot for features/performance.
Already familiar with this:

I am trying to make sure my system is easily restorable should something break the proxmox host os.
My VMs are stored on separate storage from the pve OS.
I have 3rd storage location for backups
I have rsync'd /etc and /var to my backup storage after stopping all of the pve services i could...
Try a different USB device - is a flash drive. I had the same issue with 1 western digital passport, and I think it is failing, because access times were very high on a normal PC, sometimes it would take 10-20 seconds to show the list of files. I tried another 500gb and 3tb drive, and both...
I am trying to use various usb drives as a backup destination, anything from a 16 gb sandisk usb flash to a 2tb drive will not detect properly, I have used 5 different devices with complete failure to show a device in /dev, does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong?
I am seeing an...
I am trying to add a local directory for backups called /backup
I run mkdir /backup
then when i try to add the dir in the gui I get this error:
create storage failed: got lock request timeout (500)
any ideas?
I am getting a Dell R710, just trying to work out the storage:
6x 300gb 10k 6gb/s SAS in RAID6
PVE installed on a single 60gb SSD (wish i could run it on SD card;), plugged in to motherboard, not RAID card, clone it off for backup.
This way I can use raw LVM backing on the RAID array, and wont...
i see ;)
I am looking in /etc/pve/qemu-server/vmid.conf
and just append args: -no-hpet -no-kvm-pit-reinjection at the bottom
seems to have put my clock back to normal now.
