    But is this expected or it is an exception? Should the wiki section be updated at least to add this procedure? Marco

    Proxmox 4.0 questions

    Hi, I am not an expert but: even if it works, apart from the obvious overhead of having 1 VM into a virtual hypervisor running into a physical hypervisor, You will have to manage those VMs with ESXi tools, even if you LOVE proxmox... including HA and backups so I really can't guess what are...

    How to use iSCSI Backend on Proxmox VE

    Hi, I never had troubles with that but I also never used freebsd (but I will have to, just to have a systemd alternative...), so I can't speak for that side. But I assume your pve hosts have permissions on the iSCSI LUN. Have you followed this...

    isn't it only related to the storage format? qcow2 should work, others not, afaik. Marco

    Howto Change virtual size of a qcow2 Image

    well you could use pve "live storage migration" to convert the qcow2 to raw with no downtime, then stop the vm, shrink that raw file, restart the vm using that raw file and then again use pve "live storage migration" to convert the raw to qcow2 with no downtime... Marco

    Backup methods for Servers and Users

    sorry can you point out where I wrote "on the same server"? it's not about the destination host/folder, choose the place you want: it's about the method... Perhaps is this: I said "regular OS full/diff/incremental backups inside the VM" ? but I meant backup tools run inside the vm, so they can...

    Howto Change virtual size of a qcow2 Image

    well of course most people wish to grow disks usually. but also you said "I have a qcow2 Image with virtual size 600GB. Inside i have Windowspartition with 150GB. Now i have to change the virtual size to something near 150GB." so, the qcow2 file could be much less of the virtual size, so it...

    Backup methods for Servers and Users

    well, you said and I answered about that. afaik: "apt-get update" updates the local DB of updated for the apt-get system "apt-get upgrade" upgrades all installed packages that have new versions, and also their dependencies if needed if you wish (eg) to upgrade just one package, you can...

    Acess has ssh problem

    ??? how can raid change a folder name, I can't guess for sure... but it may be me. and sorry, but about proxmox to be suited... if your raid controller is good and healthy, every OS running over it will be reliable. proxmox ve runs a redhat (stable) derived kernel on a debian (stable) derived...

    Acess has ssh problem

    do you know dietmar is the main proxmox developer, do you? :D and did you read this http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Raid_controller ? and http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Software_RAID but if you open a thread about a folder, don't hijack it yourself talking about raid, it won't help you and others if...

    Backup methods for Servers and Users

    you could use something like a usb drive, and disconnect it after the backup completes. doing "Update" lets apt-get pick latest versions, after. But if you "update" ubuntu, why be worried about your "pve version" ? pve should be able to connect to a NFS server without additional packages...

    Backup methods for Servers and Users

    the pve backup system needs to read and write in that folder. it has to keep the specified "Minimum" number of old copies there, so it needs read and write: if the new backup succeeds, it deletes the oldest one, and so on. and thus, it can always write (and delete) automatically there. but after...

    Storage is not online (500)

    well, I would try to see what's different from other nodes. as last resort, remove the storage from proxmox, reboot (even all nodes), and then add it back again. hav you read this post for some possible hints? http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/11121-NFS-Shares-storage-is-not-online-(500) Marco

    Backup methods for Servers and Users

    As RobFantini says, a "nfs server" means that on your storage machine (tough a pc is usually not much redundated and safe enough, but would work) you need to install a piece of software acting as nfs server (any linux would do, your choice is ok) it is not sufficient to say "a shared folder"...

    Backup methods for Servers and Users

    sorry, what you mean about "the data" and "the database"? it's just to make clearer what you wish to achieve. afaik, on pve: - all nodes in cluster share the same "config" and "db". So, should a node need to be reinstalled, it will get all its configs/from other nodes in the cluster, once it...
