Hello Proxmox, Hopefully I've posted this in the correct forum. I'm interested in better understanding Open vSwitch within our environment. I'm running a cluster of Proxmox Hosts and will be connecting them to Ceph. All Ceph and Proxmox servers will run Proxmox 4.1 and will be in the same...

Hello fireon and thank you for your replies and interest in helping me in this thread. It's not that I necessarily want to upgrade the firmware on my disks. My WD RE drives are brand new. It's more about planning and being proactive on tasks that I'll need to keep on a schedule perhaps in the...

That's a valid question which I don't have an answer too. But I was on the phone today with Dell for a server we use with Seagate drives and Dell Support was very adamant that I upgrade the firmware on my Seagate disks for stabilty and fixes. I just assumed all disks had this requirement...

Hi All, On this thread mir mentioned he has a Linux utility to help update firmware on Seagate Drives - https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/choose-the-brand-of-hard-drives-enterprise-class.18006/. Is there a similar utility on Western Digital Drives that someone has found? If a utility doesn't...

Excellent! Thank you Dietmar for confirming.

Thank you for the reply Dietmar. Could you clarify something for me please. When you say that HA manager tries to distribute the VMs equally...does this mean by the number of running VM's. So if I have Host #1 that runs 10 VM's, will HA put 5 one Host #2 and 5 on Host #3? Or does it do it by...

Hello Proxmox community, I'm currently running the latest proxmox 4.1 on all my servers. This is my setup: 4 Host Servers each with 48 GB of Ram running all my VM's. 4 Servers running Ceph for storage of all VM's. All 8 servers are clustered. Total amount of Ram used by all VM's is around...

Hello, I'm moving forward with using OMD (based on Nagios and check_mk) to monitor my environment. I've found some plugin information (https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Nagios_check_mk and...

Re: Advice - Open Monitoring Distribution (OMD) - check_mk_agent install on Proxmox H Thanks very much for these replies. I will fire up a test Proxmox to see for myself but I'm very happy to see that 1nerdguy has had succes with installing this on his production proxmox server. I will also...

Hello, We use Proxmox version 3.4-6 (standalone). I'm considering using Open Monitoring Distribution (OMD) for monitoring our various hardware/Operating Systems in our office. A blurb on OMD in case you haven't heard of it: Open Monitoring Distribution (OMD) is a self-contained bundle that...

Thanks Wolfgang for the confirmation. I thought this was the answer but nice to make sure. Appreciate your help.

Hello, I'm looking at my NAS where I store my scheduled proxmox backups I see log files in some cases dating back to 2013 with a name like - vzdump-qemu-100-2014_01_10-01_30_02.log. I can see log files that correspond to my recent backups. It would appear that if I set the number of backups I...

For anyone else reading this post, here's the answer on how I successfully upgraded our Proxmox Server to 3.4. Thanks goes to Symmcom Support on their assistance with providing the necessary steps on how to safely upgrade this server. apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade are the correct...

Hello, I have a proxmox server running 3.1-3 that I'm finally ready to upgrade. Based on the experience I had with our production server upgrade and the forum posts I see here..what are the proper steps I should take to ensure the upgrade goes smoothly? As I understand it...there are...

Hello All, I wanted to provide comment for the Proxmox Forum on Paid Support and the experience I've had in case anyone new to Proxmox is wondering whether or not to pay for Proxmox support. I fully support the open source model Proxmox has provided for us all. Proxmox provides a fantastic...

Hi All, Sorry for not responding sooner to update the forum on my issue and subsequent fix. In the end I was not successful in repairing Grub on my Server. Try as I might nothing was working. I had taken a backup of all my VM's prior to the upgrade so a re-install was the fastest option...

Much appreciated Mir...I'll post back with results. Thank you.

Hello, I upgraded my Proxmox from 3.1 to 3.4. During the upgrade I was asked to re-install grub and pick one. Stupid me didn't and said no. Then when I rebooted my Proxmox is now broken most likely due to Grub. So I've loaded up through my IPMI the Proxmox 3.2 .iso and I've been able to get...

Thanks for the comments...I will consider using Vlans now that you've explained this to me for our small network. I'm still getting up to speed on how Ceph works...for now I'll spin up some VM's on my Proxmox Host and mimic a ceph cluster. Would it be possible to have two Proxmox VM's running...

Hello Nethfel, I appreciate you replying to my questions. What drives are you using in your Ceph Cluster? Are they all SSD or do you have SATA for your OSD's? If SATA what make have you decided upon? I should have mentioned that my 3 Ceph Servers do have 4 Nics in them so I will be using...
