@mbaldini thanks I had something along those lines in mind. I've seen references to using perhaps OpenVPN on the windows server VMs, if you believe something else is better please feel free to elaborate.

Thank you for the information provided. @NewDude I presume the solution you're describing is running inside a VM, like Macrium. I'll check into that. Do you recall which methods are available for sending data off-system? Windows SMB/NFS/FTP? @fireon This works on the hypervisor level if I...

I'm considering using proxmox on 2-3 totally different sites. Details: These sites do not belong to the same organization, but management (including backup) has been delegated to a small (two person) firm. PVE boxes on each site are connected to the net using either ADSL or VDSL links...

Sorry for delaying to get back to you. I had a hunch that something in the middle was killing traffic. Since this murder of sorts was assymetric, ie more traffic in the direction from VM to lan seemed to have a problem, I thought that I had to check the lan switch. Specifically, there was a...

This is driving me crazy. I have installed a new PVE installation (4.something). Simple stuff: single pve node (no cluster, nothing advanced) with a single XP VM. Details Host has a single eth0 network adapter. Host has as a single vmbr0 interface Host does not communicate with the internet...

Ok, this is driving me crazy. Now the system behaves as bad as it did with virtio. But I did have excellent boot times with ide! Will keep testing, perhaps I'll be able to find something...

NVM, yes the service is needed; it provides info on what the really used memory by the VM is...

I've seen references to at least a balloon driver as well as to a balloon service. Usually, a balloon device does appear on systems. I don't recall if that is done when the VM is specified with variable memory instead of fixed. In any case, the balloon driver from the virtio tools seems to be...

Still shouldn't virtio writethrough outperform ide writethrough? And, as for 0.1.102, I did not use that because I saw a lot of comments regarding bug fixes and enhancement on the windows 2k12 driver. I don't think that I will see any change though, it's just inexplicable for me.

I set up a VM for 2k12r2. The disk is a sparse raw file, converted from a .vhdx snapshot taken with disk2vhd. The configuration of the system, with the disk connected to ide0 was as follows: agent: 1 balloon: 2048 boot: cd bootdisk: ide0 cores: 2 hotplug: usb ide0...

Glad it was solved, please set the title to SOLVED. And do paste here what prompted you to remove the cpuunits from the configuration.

Under /var/log/messages you should find which command is used to move the raw to the qcow file and paste it here. Another approach: 1) keep only the original VM-DATA:103/vm-103-disk-1.raw as boot disk 2) Create a new qcow disk of the same size on another virtio controller If the system boots...

You're awesome, thanks, just what I wanted to find! :)

Can you post your VM config (qm config vmid from a shell) before and after the changes? A newbie here, but just wondering if I can help.

Thanks for the reply mate! Isn't this going to hurt performance a lot? I know, I was mainly asking for a best practice, considering what I have in hand (just a simple RAID-1 setup with 2 disks). Yes, I've done that (even though I must say that on my internal testing I did not have any...

Hello all, I've got a live 2012R2 server, with no Hyper-V functionality enabled. I'm considering doing a P2V of this system, after taking into account https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migration_of_servers_to_Proxmox_VE as well as the wiki Proxmox best practices for 2012R2. I do have some questions...

Thanks!

This sounds like a newbie question and, well, indeed it is :) Basically, I am trying to figure out how do I "update" a Debian container. If it were a KVM installation, I'd do the usual change of /etc/apt/sources and then apt-get update/dist-upgrade etc. I don't know what's the right thing to do...

Hello all, I have a couple of Debian installations that I have to provide to users elsewhere. These boxes host a back-end and a web front-end. The apps of these boxes have to reconfigured (which is not my problem) and security to these boxes has to be tight (which is). A specific policy...

Perfect, just what I needed! :)
