    networking question

    I have 3 proxmox hosts and a freenas box, each with 2 nics. Currently, all of my VM's are running off of 1 nic but I'd like to dedicate 1 nic of each promox box to a separate vlan for storage only traffic. I configured one of the nodes and the nas nic to be on a specific vlan (23) at ip 23.5...

    Windows Guest slow network performance

    This is the result: http://d.pr/i/ACAu While it does seem better, I would expect much higher throughput from a VM to VM on the same host.

    Windows Guest slow network performance

    I just installed a new Windows 2k8 Std server on a 3.2 host that already has a 2k8 guest running on it. The new guest is getting horrible network performance, even to the other guest vm on the machine, to the tune of ~200Kbits/sec where as the existing guest is getting ~500Mbit/sec. Both...

    Planning a new server setup with Proxmox

    Restoring Single Files/Directories from backup images

    I have the files that need to be restored from a backup and normally we do two sets of backups, one through Proxmox and one via another program to S3. The S3 backups did not contain the data needed so I'm thinking our only option to restore the directory is in the Proxmox vma backup. My...

    vzdump completion time

    I don't actually have the physical cache turned off. This particular setup doesn't have a RAID controller so it's running off just a single hard drive, crazy I know, working on it. Anyways, the cache I was talking about is the VM HDD cache which is right now, set to no cache. Playing with it...

One has an Adaptec RAID controller with mirrored 500GB and the other just has a single hard drive for the OS and VMs. Both machines have a backup hard drive dedicated to backups only. Server A, with the RAID controller...

    Adaptec 1220SA

    I appreciate the feedback, those LSI cards run about $500 which is just about as much as my client is spending on their server. I'm looking for a inexpensive RAID controller to use for these guys.

    Adaptec 1220SA

    Could someone tell me if this RAID card would work well with Proxmox? Adaptec AAR-1220SA - http://www.adaptec.com/en-us/support/raid/sataii/aar-1220sa/index.html I'm looking at using this for a small client with a Lenovo TS130 Server.

    Secondary HD for Backups

    I realize that this may not be the intended way to use Proxmox but it's what I have to deal with at the moment. We're using Proxmox as a 1:1 virtualization setup for our server. Because I did not realize that bios RAID was not a true RAID and thus unsupported by Proxmox, we're running with just...

    Lenovo TS130 RAID1 Degraded

    So BIOS RAID is considered to be software raid? I never knew that, I figured it was considered hardware raid.

    Lenovo TS130 RAID1 Degraded

    I'm trying to install Proxmox 2.2 on a Lenovo TS130 with hardware RAID1. The array is fine before installation but upon installation and reboot, the array becomes degraded. Has anyone seen this before?
