Wow! Thanks for the heads up redmop...I'm glad I'm able to review the backblaze findings before putting a significant investment into drives that may fail quickly on us. So what are others recommending as best drives for the price and warranty period availabe? I see the WD WD1002F9YZ offer a...

Hello udo, Thank you for the reply. I will ensure that when I add into this cluster one of my two Host Nodes I will have that one empty before joining the cluster. My hope is to move all VM's to one of my standalone Proxmox Servers leaving the other empty. Then I will create a cluster with...

Hello, We have two standalone Proxmox Servers with local storage to run our VM's. I currently do nightly backups to our local NAS for recovery. This obviously has lots of holes if we lose a server and need to rebuild from a backup. I'm looking to improve our situation but cost is a limiting...

Hello, We are considering using symmcom for Proxmox support (found them through the Proxmox website under resellers). Any comments or reviews of using them for support from this community? Thank you.

Thanks very much for the replies. Good to know that it wasn't just me that had this problem. I'll download another flavour of Mint that isn't so video intensive. Thanks.

Hello,I'm running Proxmox 3.1 (all updates applied). I've installed LInux Mint Cinnamon but upon restarting the VM and viewing the VM from the console, I am presented with the following message:"Cinnamon is currently running without video hardware acceleration and, as a result, you may observe...

Hello, I'm testing the use of Raspberry Pi Thin Clients (they can't PXE boot) using a project from http://rpitc.blogspot.ca. It's a debian based system that has SPICE GTK+ 0.20 Client (virt-viewer 0.5.7) installed on it. So if I change my video in my KVM VM on Proxmox to allow Spice and...

Hello, I've added two more Nics to my Proxmox Server. While I'm at it I thought I would make some other improvements to our network. We use a NAS Storage Device (T5R Imation) and this is connected to our Proxmox Servers using NFS. I've bonded the Nics (802.3ad) on the NAS and our Dell...

Thank you for the advice Dragoon. I unfortunately don't have a test environment to use to set up a cluster and test. Does Proxmox allow me to install Proxmox in a KVM? That way I could spin up two Proxmox KVM's and test setting up a cluster between them. Once I'm comfortable with how to do it...

Hello Dragoon, Thank you for the reply. I have heard of two node clusters but I wasn't aware that having one would mean each Hosts Webpage would still be available. I re-read the following wiki: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_VE_2.0_Cluster. Are your suggesting I use this setup for my...

Hello, To preface, the reason I'm looking into this option is because we don't have a third server available to properly setup quorum, we are very small office and don't require HA. I'm also a little worried about clustering since with clustering there is only one web interface. If I lose one...

I've got it working now. The only thing I noticed differently from the steps I did to what Martin put on the wiki was how I was starting the service. Once I did: service stor_agent start I was then allowed to connect to our service from our windows client. Thanks for your assistance with...

Hello, Here are the steps I took to install the storage manager version 7.31: wget http://download.adaptec.com/raid/storage_manager/asm_linux_x64_v7_31_18856.tgz tar zxf asm_linux_x64_v7_31_18856.tgz cd manager apt-get install alien dpkg-dev debhelper build-essential libstdc++5 alien...

Thank you Raymond for your reply. Our Powerconnect Dell Switch does have LAG support. I've made the necessary changes to the ports on our switches so that the two nics on our proxmox server can now be put into 802.3ad mode. Thank you.

I can confirm that the script goes to 3.1. I was pleasantly surprised when after the script pveversion showed 3.1. Great work on making the upgrade so simple for us! Thanks.

Thanks Tom, But how do I check to make sure what I've installed is working? I've installed the Windows Client on a Windows 2008 VM and I've tried to connect to our Proxmox Host where I've installed the agent and it cannot connect? The only message I get is "Unable to connect to the remote...

Hello Tom, Okay, so to sum up what I need to do, I take the rpm file and use Alien to convert it to a deb file. I then use the Proxmox Wiki for Storman to install it to my server. But there is an unresolved dependency as per the link you gave. Do you know where in /var/lib/dpkg/status I...

Hello Tom, We have an Adaptec RAID 51645. Thank you.

Thank you Dietmar for your assistance. I've successfully updated both my Host servers now.

Hello, I've just upgraded my Proxmox Server to 3.1 We have an Adapatec Raid Card in our Server and I'd like to monitor it using the Adaptec Manager from Windows GUI Client. I know I need to install the Adaptec Storage Manager Agent. This post...
