I think we're talking about 2 different things. Let me try again. 3 Hosts, 1 storage node mounted over NFS. All currently have a 10.1.x.x /24e address. All hosts have 4 nics, bonded using LACP, and attached to vmbr0. The cluster config and storage also are mounted through this. I'm wanting...

I would love to do this, but due to internal politics and an overbearing Network Admin, I can't touch Vlans. is there any other way?

Probably a dumb question, but I figured I'd ask anyways. I'd like to seperate my management network, and separate my storage network, away from the LAN my VM's are using. What is the suggested method of doing this? Currently (and stupidly, I'll admit) I have one vmbr0 with all of my nics...

Fantastic. Thanks for this!

I'd be interested in that. I've been doing what you say currently, but I want to be able to like change the hostname and such afterwards, to keep my OCD in check.

I've been using the built in templating for Windows machines for ages, and love it. However, I'd like to learn how to do it for the Linux based distros as well. Could someone point me in the right direction for an idiots setup guide? I've done research into oem-installs on Ubuntu, which seems...

Sadly, it's not a Proxmox problem, but a Windows one. Regardless of what we do, as long as Windows knows it has X memory available, it's gonna grab X memory. Makes over provisioning Windows guests difficult.

That's how Windows works. It'll grab all the Ram you have allocated to it, so the Hypervisor will show up as 100% used. It then uses some of it for cache, some for page file, etc. Annoying, yes, but not horrible. I've learned to ignore the Proxmox report for Windows ram usage, and now just use...

The correct answer is to update to a modern version of Proxmox, where this is known to work.

Is there a way to upgrade from 3.4 to 4.x beta2? Looks like my issues with beta1 have been ironed out, and I'd like to kick the tires on my testing boxen without a fresh reinstall. How is ZFS not an option? It's become a stable, mature file system that does a hell of a job.

If I can read that, correctly, you want to access the hard drive file of a Vm to get the files off it. It's actually pretty simple. You just mount the file like you would anything else. Further instructions are here...

I've always just made a bridge with just that nic in it, and assign that to the VM.

Did you create /disk2 , as it states in step 4? By the error you're getting, I'm assuming you don't have the FSTAB config setup correctly. Double check all of that, else the mount command will fail.

Only time I've seen a time-out error with NFS is where this was existing network difficulties, or a misconfiguration. Is it possible to hook directly to the machine and work on the local console, or else get into it via IPMI or something? Take the network out of the equation.

I'm looking to replicate the ESXI setup of the internal switch, where VM's can talk to eachother directly over the bus instead of going out to the switch and then back. Can this be accomplished with OpenVswitch? That way, my webhost can talk to my mysql server directly, while both of them have...

This has been the way it is forever, and I see tons of people confused by it. Linux memory management is weird. I get around it by having a monitoring solution, Nagios in my case, watch my machines and report the usage. Changing the way it is in the Proxmox screen could be a negative thing. I...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the user-customizable solution to this problem simply using templates? Generic ones even, if that's the case?

Yep, you need the service to manage the ballooning in Windows, linux has it already. Instructions on the wiki: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Dynamic_Memory_Management#Enable_Auto-Ballooning_on_Windows_2008r2 Please note, I've found it to be a bit CPU hungry at times, so keep an eye.

Did you also install the balloon service? That's needed for Windows to manage it.

Few questions: 1. What kid of hardware are these nodes? 200 users w/ 3 VM's a piece could get..well, rough. 2. What kind of storage do you have backing these? 3. Is there a reason you can't simply give the users the IP addresses of their VM's, and have them access them through whatever is...
