... or when the node admin selects More -> Stop all VMs and Containers? Is it stop or shutdown? I also have networkupstools (NUT) setup. I guess that when a fatal power failure alerts the node to go down, it also automatically brings the KVM boxes down, but how? Via stop or shutdown? Sorry...

Installed older driver, same issue unfortunately. Will keep going to older versions...

Installed SP3; same deal. I'll leave the VM running with the IDE controller I presume...

I used https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/stable-virtio/virtio-win.iso on this VM, as I have done with success in other Windows XP/7 VMs. Like I said, the main difference here is that this XP box is on SP2. I am not aware if SP3 is a requirement. I'll take a VM...

Thank you for all information! :)

Hello all, I salvaged a broken physical system and created first a 4.1 PVE node and then a XP VM in it. For the latter I simply used the existing actual hard disk of the broken system. It booted perfectly from the start, even though no mergeide took place. In fact I expected hell to break...

Thanks, I'll most likely (try to) follow the second approach. Which howto (if any) would you recommend for me to start reading?

Thanks for the info, I'll give GlusterFS a look. I am not looking for real time migrate etc. I want to use these in a scenario whereas a node running 2-3 low-load Windows VMs hardware fails, in which case I would like to be able to start a backup node from a state that was as "near" as...

I want to implement a cluster using low-end hardware. No raid, duplicate PSUs etc. Just 2 PCs, having VT-capable Core I5 cpus. AFAIK, implementing a cluster implies having storage as a separate box. That is, at least two CPU boxes, plus one to host the VM storage of both. Is it possible to...

Thank you for all your comments, I'd be more than happy to install 4.1 then :) @1nerdyguy: you feel me. I also buy capacitors etc from my own pocket to repair from PSUs to motherboards. This is not drama hour though. I understand that a project like this has to be paid. I hope that my own...

Hello all, been using PVE on my government agency. The budget is so tight, that we are using plain hardware in order to install PVE. Thing is, we have been using this great piece of software for free (ie without any subscription). Today, I had to create a new PVE host. So, I was wondering...

Can't really tell, not a Linux expert here. However, the first/data partition seems to be just fine, so perhaps you could delete the swap and the extended partition and do directly a swap partition. Check if the issue persists.

Replying to myself, I took the logical way of backing up the VMs stored in the WD disk to another disk, removed the VMs, removed the VG, PV and /dev/sdb1 and recreated the latter one. This time it was 4k-aligned. Recreated the PV, VG, configured the Vm storage from web admin and restored the...

Hello all, got a rather old community-version PVE system running: # pveversion -v proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 3.4-172 (running kernel: 2.6.32-44-pve) pve-manager: 3.4-13 (running version: 3.4-13/4c745357) pve-kernel-2.6.32-44-pve: 2.6.32-172 pve-kernel-2.6.32-41-pve: 2.6.32-164...

Missed that, thank you :)

Hello Tom and thank you for your very fast response! However, regarding my upgrade question I remained a bit buffled. My sources.list repository is as instructed in the wiki: root@pve-1:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ftp.gr.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib # security updates deb...

Hello all, I've been using pve since 2.x as a free platform and continued doing so. At the moment, I believe I have 3.1 installed: proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 3.1-114 (running kernel: 2.6.32-26-pve) pve-manager: 3.1-21 (running version: 3.1-21/93bf03d4) pve-kernel-2.6.32-26-pve: 2.6.32-114 lvm2...

hmm tried that one as well but it did not work...

Experiencing a similar problem here with a Windows 7 guest. Can you please reply or PM me with the specific loader you had success with?

Thanks again for all this valuable information. Consider thread solved!☺
