Quite impressive, although I must say that I do not understand how that is possible, does pve take a snapshot of some sort immediately after the VM is powered down and before powering it up? Furthermore, in the stop case, perhaps /var/log/syslog must be corrected: Feb 28 09:48:53 INFO...

Thanks for the details and clarifications! Tom, could you have a quick peek at http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/17938-Bug-or-feature-During-backup-with-stop-VM-wakes-up? Somehwhat related to the last questions regarding vzdump -stop ...

In http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore the following is mentioned: Does this mean that after bringing the system down, it is booted almost immediately after (and, as a result, it is alive when the backup is underway)? That would explain what I was experiencing above, that is the...

Fresh pve 3.1 installation here: ~# pveversion -v 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: 2.02.98-pve4 clvm: 2.02.98-pve4 corosync-pve: 1.4.5-1 openais-pve: 1.1.4-3...

Actually one more question, now that I've managed to shutdown my win7 vm successfully: the backup options offered are stop, suspend and snapshot. What does the "stop" option do to bring the system down? Shutdown or power off?

Somehow it works right now. It's a pity that I do not know what exactly fixed things here... For the record, I changed all the following: * make sure that in power options, pressing the power button shuts down the system * Disable the 'Shutdown Event Tracker'. This setting in Group Policy. If...

Unfortunately, I do not understand what Tom implies. The bottomline is that I'll follow your advice for the backups: use KVM snapshots to do them without stopping the system. Which leaves one final problem. Shutting down the guest, in the case of a power failure. ATM, I have nut installed on...

TBH, I do not how to go about this. This is a Windows VM fresh install, on a fresh install of PVE 3.1. Followed the settings wizard closely. I just elected to use virtio, as outlined in your windows 7 best practices wiki page. I did search the forum, but found nothing conclusive. Just some...

That's exactly my idea, till I find a way to force a shutdown. I'd prefer to have the safest way to backup. That is, with the VM turned off. For some reason, even today backing up a live file system gives me the chills :) What does the snapshot you are referring to utilize? LVM2 snapshot?

I have created a Windows 7 32-bit VM, under proxmox 3.1: ~# pveversion -v 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: 2.02.98-pve4 clvm: 2.02.98-pve4 corosync-pve: 1.4.5-1...

My rather limited previous message with proxmox 2.x suggested there were issues with clean shutdowns of Windows guests. At the time I was experimenting with XP, but right now with a Win7 guest on PVE 3.1, I am still unable to do a shutdown; it simply does not work. Furthermore, doing a stop from...

(bump) Anyone?

I am utilizing pve 3.1 as a host, with a single WIndows 7 32-bit VM. This VM is running 24/7 as an antivirus console, so uptime is of paramount importance. The disk storage is a 60Gb raw file on an LVM2 partition. We are considering methods to backup this thing in a most reliable way...

On spot, I had this test machine running Windows 7 32-bit, on a latest proxmox. The host hardware is nothing special, I was mainly evaluating proxmox usage. Everything was fine, till the moment I tried to use a windows activator on the VM. Bang, that was it. Any idea on how to recover it? I can...

I initially deployed proxmox 2.x on one system. Not server grade, an Asus P5G41T-M LX2/GB/LPT motherboard hosting an Intel E6500. Upgraded BIOS to latest version, enabled Intel virtualization in BIOS, thrown in and enabled a couple of VMs (XPs) and been running happily after. Then I wanted to...

Re: Disk errors found: How can I move the entire Proxmox installation to another disk System back in its place, everything working beautifully! I have already added to my agenda moving my ESXi production VMs to proxmox! :) Case solved!

Re: Disk errors found: How can I move the entire Proxmox installation to another disk Okay, some more questions. I used vzdump to take a backup of my xp KVM-type vm (had ID 100), to another disk. Reinstalled pve to a fresh disk and I am about to restore the VM. My question is, do I have to...
