Don't have a second KVM guest on here, but I'll get one started on install. It's a VETH network on the OpenVZ.

I'm getting this now to, but only for one host. If I migrate the VM to a different host, NoVNC works great.

One VM is a Ubuntu 14.04 KVM box, with virtio nic. The other one is a Ubuntu 12.04 OpenVZ instance. I've tried Iperf, SCP, you name it, all slow.

I'm on a Microserver with 1 nic, all hooked into the same bridge. I transfer a lot of files from VM to VM, for various reasons. However, by the speeds I'm getting (29 MB/s for large ISOs), I'm assuming this is all going out the bridge and then coming back in the bridge to the other VM. Is...

Proxmox is Debian 7 now, so if it works with 7, you should be good to go. I've had good luck with last generation SuperMicro and Intel boards, like the Intel S1200KP and the like. But make sure you check things, like the NICS, for compatibility. That's the homework you need to do with a whitebox...

I've looked into using the NUC's before, and actually tried it with a version2 , but it wasn't worth much in my opinion. The processors didn't have the power I was looking for, and I needed more than 2 NIC's per host. I ended up building mini ITX builds which, while taking up more space, gave me...

Many stand alone desktops have a hard time gaming at that resolution, let alone when piping it through virtualization. You might be shooting for the moon a bit here. I'm sure it's "possible", if you're willing throw oodles of cash at it to have designated video cards per VM, plus the oodles of...

Forgive me, but isn't this sorta recreating the wheel here? Raid1 would do this for you easily, since it is sorta what it was designed for. But that's just me. Try LVM mirroring. It's a raid1 option built in LVM. I've never used it, but this seems to give a rough walk through. Otherwise, i...

I'm assuming you don't have backups? If you did, just restore them. If not, you can try something like TestDisk and see if it will bring them back. I've had so-so luck with this. Follow this guide to give you an idea. http://www.linux.org/threads/undelete-files-on-linux-systems.4316/

Run the VMware Physical to virtual converter against your VM. Best bet, usually.

Nope. You can specify drives as L2Arch in ZFS, allowing them to serve as a cache in front of the other drives. These will autopopulate based on your usage. No mirroring these really, since it's just a cache and will repopulate if you need to swap out a drive. I'd just specify the disks as...

Well, you're golden then for equipment. I'd do the following: Server1: Fast Storage 14 Samsung SSD: Storage Array, Raidz2 (with SSD, you don't need the increase reads from raid10) 1 Samsung SSD Hot Spare 1 Crucial SSD - Zil log USB Raid1 for OS Server 2 : Slower Storage 12 2TB RAID10 2...

Good read on it. Personally, I like the safety of mirrors and increased speeds of Raid10. But yeah, Raid6 tends to be a good trade off

Nope, we're suggesting the following: 3 SSDs: 2 for L2Arch, 1 for ZIl log. 2 USB 3.0 drives, for OS Samsung Evo's will work for this, I'm just partial to the Intels as I've never had a problem with them. A 256gb is way overkill for a Zil drive, but you've got it already, so it'll work. with...

I'll take a look for the link to Joyents, I received them from a Joyent member in their IRC. If I find an updated version, I'll post here. You're missing 2 *really* big parts of ZFS in your hardware there. You need you're L2Arch as well as your ram. The log cache drive you have will help, but...

You set the Raid card to JBOD, or IT mode if you're on an LSI. You don't want hardware raid of any form in front of ZFS, as it handles that stuff itself. Repeat: Hardware Raid + ZFS = No No no . I currently use a "raid10" kind of setup for my ZFS pools. ZFS calls it Striped Mirrored Vdev...

NTP is the answer to this. Set you're PDC to pull it's time from a reliable NTP server, and then you're member servers should pull from the PDC, according to their own W32TM service setup. I've been doing it this way for years, worked flawlessly. Don't trust the local batteries, time shift...

What kind of network do you have setup? Even though backup is set to not use up all the network, if you're on an old 10/100 or something, I could see it having issues.

Never use a raid controller, and then put ZFS on top of it. ZFS does it's own version of "Raid", and needs direct access to the disks to do so correctly. Flash your card over to IT mode, or if that's not an option, make each disk it's own Raid0 array, and then build zfs on top of those into a...

Yeah, thats what I was thinking. I don't see the usefulness, as you mentioned. So I'll probably look at repurposing a machine into a NFS share host, and attach the storage to that and share it out. NFS server shouldn't need too much power I'd think, i.e. a Xeon E3-1230 with 16gb of Ram and 4...
