    Server resources

    mmm yes, reading again, that part could be more as you say. But the point is openvz will not get any memory sharing help as kvm does, and the hyervisor needs memory of its own so, tak ealso that into account Marco

    Server resources

    I think Udo means: this current thread is about having only Openvz, so KSM is not involved here. to the OP: int the suggested thread I read "you should leave a couple of GB free for the host system. With OpenVZ, it can be much more." so if your CTs (openvz) concurrently use even less than the...

    good to know, thanks. Why not adding a wiki page for this (if there isn't one for pfsense already)? Marco

    Windows 2003 ported VM from Hyper-V keeps crashing with code 0x3b

    that means that you have commented the line in the .conf? I would try that, too. Of course also because nothing else worked :D on more thing: remember that any change you make to .conf (gui or cli) you MUST stop and start, not reset/restart from gui. Marco

    Windows 2003 ported VM from Hyper-V keeps crashing with code 0x3b

    yes, but I think that is not causing the crash, or you would have noticed... My guess is that other differences could be more involved: - memory: 640 not very high, but I guess you would have spotetd this from logs - scsihw: virtio-scsi-pc search the forums about this and w2k3... or try...

    How is one supposed to backup a proxmox cluster?

    You can use that and/or also use two 1G link bonded (or more) to the storage. And also use different timings. Or, also, backup locally to the nodes, if you have local space, and then use a script to move them wherever when/how you like it. Or, also, use more than one backup storage (which could...

    Windows Update Breaks VM

    You could try to post more details about your troubled vm (conf, logs, etc.) and pve hosts detailed info, at least. As any OS project, it has no guarantee by itself. You can try to debug what is happening by yourself, asking others, and upstream providers too. But is a very difficult job, since...

    How is one supposed to backup a proxmox cluster?

    Hi backup is done by vzdump tool, which has the parameter -bwlimit and global configuration is stored in /etc/vzdump.conf. https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Vzdump_manual afaik (using 1G link instead of 10G will take 10x time, anyway...) Marco

    Hard Disk disappeared, searching log

    Hi, something really weird happened, because vm disks don't disappear in this way, usually. probably, the vm disk storage is involved. You didn't post much detail... Also, as usual, pve packages versions (use "#pveversion -v") could help to spot something... Marco

    Cannot Backup vm on a lvm storage

    citing the http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage_Model wiki page: "LVM: this storage type is only used to store RAW VM disk images, and first needs an iSCSI "base storage" entry defined or local disks prepared as LVM storage." I can't see any place where it says that LVM storage can be used...

    What's wrong with Proxmox ?

    you could try to be sure that the repository are ok, and then try an "apt-get update" from the cli (ssh). but Dietmar (ie: pve devs) would know the best for you, I'm sure. Marco

    What's wrong with Proxmox ?

    I think that is the list of the turnkey templates available in the web gui. the list is update daily. "200 ok" means it worked. I get similar logs, every day, nearly at the same hour. Marco

    What's wrong with Proxmox ?

    I never said that. But saying: it seems you think all the others are mad. Isn't it? I think that someone who can access the server/cluster (or the lan) made some mistake, of which you are currently probably unaware, but you can find which posting configs and command outputs and also looking...

    What's wrong with Proxmox ?

    sorry but are you really thinking proxmox users around the world which are running thousands of cluster are so mad to run such an unstable system, in production? doesn't any other option come to your mind? if the packages are screwed, either it was wrongly installed or something else happened...

    unsupported hardware

    if it happens during post, could it mean you have to upgrade/patch your mb bios? if it happens during linux boot, it could be the kernel you're using? Marco

    Proxmox Backup

    Yes, I agree on small nas "all in one" like synology and similars i have some rack qnap, similar to synology, but used also smaller ones for storage. the smaller units offer iscsi too, but smaller units horsepower is limited, high end rack units have better chips/ram, even xeon cpus and are...

    Proxmox VE Trainings 2014

    Hi, any news about this? I already bought the two available books from symmcomm and others, but free learning materials from the makers could help many more people, perhaps... And it could help you manage basic forum request replying with the usual RTFM :D Marco
