    Install problem with Proxmox 2.1

    My apologies....seems I had a bad image of the install. I've downloaded the image again and this time confirmed the checksum. I'm now past the reboot problem I had and I'm installing Proxmox. Thank you.

    Install problem with Proxmox 2.1

    I pressed the Enter key and an Installer screen briefly shows, press F2 for verbose mode. My CD then automatically ejects and my computer automatically reboots. I had thought that maybe something has to be typed at the Boot prompt to make the install work. If press Enter is the answer, and...

    Install problem with Proxmox 2.1

    I've burned the .iso to a CD and put the CD into my computer. I can see the Proxmox spash screen that says to press enter to start the install. I can see a Boot: prompt as well. But I can't boot into the Install? I'm assuming it's because of hardware problems...but in case it isn't, do I...

    How would I install Proxmox on a new Server with 3 Raid Arrays of local storage?

    Hello Rob...thank you for the advice. We are buying a support contract from Proxmox to assist with our setup. I just wanted to clear up some questions first on this forum in hopes that I won't buy a support contract and then find out Proxmox can't do what we need. I'm very happy to save money...

    How would I install Proxmox on a new Server with 3 Raid Arrays of local storage?

    Thank you for the suggestion of this Book. I will definitely look at buying that! If I do this correctly, my array drive sizes will be: /dev/sda - 600 GB (Raid 1) /dev/sdb - 1200 GB (Raid 10) /dev/sdc - 600 GB (Raid 1) All disks are 15K SAS. My plan is to run 10-15 VM's on this Host...

    How would I install Proxmox on a new Server with 3 Raid Arrays of local storage?

    Thank you for the replies...that make sense. So once Proxmox is installed, would I be able to create datastores on each array? While using VMware Server, I created my SQL Server (Windows 2008) VM for the C: drive on the first Raid Array, my D: drive for the Database on my second Raid array and...

    should we use an NFS share or run our VMs from our Host server

    Thank you for the reply. The Server we are buying is our second server. We already own a Server with 3 Raid Arrays's and 4 Nics. My plan is to use Link Aggregation on both Servers, install a couple of managed switches and setup LAG on the switches as well. Would this still result in slower...

    should we use an NFS share or run our VMs from our Host server

    Looking for advice from the community for us since we are first time Proxmox users. We can buy an Ubuntu 12.04 server from ZAreason with either 3 raid arrays to run all VMs from the host or a server again from ZAreason with 1 raid array where we'll buy a Qnap NAS (10 drives in raid 6) so we can...
