Well, from a learning perspective, I'm simply seeing if it can be done. But also, from everything I've been told. Proxmox does not support software raid. But debian does. So I'm looking to learn in a VMware environment to first install debian and than proxmox on top of that. And got curious...

I do a lot of playing and testing with VMWare while traveling on planes, etc for work, and was curious. If I have an existing debian install in a virtual environment. And also have an iso of proxmox. Can you install proxmox onto debian without needing an internet connection to download the...

I'm trying to install proxmox onto a fresh Debian Squeeze in a virtual environment within VMWare. Simply learning and testing at this point, before installing onto my actual physical machine. I ran through the how to in the wiki here...

Thanks, I think I will try again when I get outside of my office. I think I learned its because I'm connecting to the web via a proxy script, and wget isn't seeing that.

I'm trying to install proxmox on a fresh install of Debian Squeeze 64 following this WIKI guide. http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Squeeze But I get the following error when trying to download the key. Any thoughts?

I'm just doing alot of experimenting and learning at this point so unsure if this is feasible or not. Can you install Debian Squeeze into a software Raid 1, and install ProxMox on top of that? Will that retain a software raid 1 install?

Thanks guys. So I should have no limits/concerns then on a very large virtual disk. I believe from a performance standpoint, HW gives better (but maybe not much) performance that SW raid? But I've still always been concerned about hardware raid vs. software raid. Am I correct that with...

That's exactly what I thought, but.......... Is there a maximum size of a Virtual Disk than? My current Raid 5 setup has about 3.5TB in media, and anticipates to grow. I'm unsure where I read it, and if it related to proxmox or another hypervisor that a Virtual Disk shouldn't exceed 2TB?

I understand Proxmox (and most hypervisors) do not support software raid, and I can understand the reasons for that. But I'm unsure of how I should proceed and maybe I'm just confusing myself. BTW, ....everything I am doing is simply for a home server/project and learning experience. I...

Just test it out and it looks like I can accomplish recreating the 4 drive raid array with virtio since it accepts upto 6 HD's from viritio0 to viritio5. But what if you had a 10 disk raid array? It looks like your limited to maximum of 6 disks?

Thank Udo. I will give that a shot tonight. And yes, I am hoping to just re-setup the the software raid inside the VM and not in pve itself. I was reading up on adding physical disks to the VMID.conf file from the WIKI here which shows: ide1: /dev/sdb ide2: /dev/sdc So I take it...

I think I'm getting myself confused with ProxMox and setting up a VM, and not understanding if the below can be done or not. Could someone maybe help out on the proper steps. I currently have a small nasbox running Ubuntu Server installed on a 4GB flash drive. And the system has a 4 disk...

I maybe confused on being able to share a physical disk with VM's, but this is from the WIKI Its reads IF [/FONT][/COLOR]the filesystem is not designed for such scenario, so I took that to me it is possible. But for my needs, I'm looking to move an existing NAS box / file server running...

Actually, I did read you can share the physical disks with other Virtual Machines as long as they share the same file systems. I.e. a VM of Ubuntu Desktop and a VM of Ubuntu server should be able to share the same physical ext4 formatted disks. I also think I should be able to set up a Windows...

I'm just getting started with all this virtualization stuff, but making some progress. I installed ProxMox, and for my first VM installed Ubuntu Server. Now, I'm trying to add a couple of Physical disks to the VM (to use as fileserver). There are drives sdb and sdc, and fdisk shows the...

I'm new to ProxMox and virtualization, so please be kind to a newbie........ I just installed ProxMox on a new build on SUPERMICRO MBD-X9SCM-F-O mother board. I mention the board since it also has its own web monitoring interface. This is also all for home use and testing, and my router is...
