    Test HA on 2 server proxmox on VirtualBox

    hi! I'm not sure but that page says "We will use HP's iLO for this example.", and then uses fence_ilo. so it could be that it expects your server to be HP with "ilo" (http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/servers/ilo/) to work. maybe you can use no fence device at all just for virtual clusters...

    Windows QEmu Guest Agent...

    unfortunately, pve devs can't keep a todo list available and updated, so noone else can see what is in the works and its status or not. probably they expect everyone to follow the developer ML to see what's happening... yes, there's http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Roadmap but take a loot at it now...

    Proxmox not recognized RAID x hardware, in a SUPERMICRO server SBB X-E5-2620V3

    when this happens, usually the mb is provinding fake/sw raid. can you point us to a web page with the specs of the MB, so to check? if this is the case, you can - add hw raid controllers - install wheezy with mdraid and then pve on top (unsupported solutions but could work for you) - use the...

    BACKUP vm unable to boot with another proxmox server

    Hi, most likely the conf is referring to some unavailable resource. you can - post the vm .conf file here so others can spot possible problems there - try to start the vm from the node command line, like #qm start <VMID> you should get an error message where you should see reported problems...

    Conversion of vmdk to qcow2. Is this correct?

    if it is working, it's ok. you could also use the original vmdk, in proxmox. create an empty vmdk disk from pve web gui (eg: 1GB) then replace that vmdk with your vmdk, with the same name eg vm-108-disk-1.vmdk the different speed could be related to many other factors: - virtual hardware, -...

    The difference between Quorum and fencing

    fencing is a complex topic, but you should refer to, at least: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/High_Availability_Cluster http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Fencing I only have used a simple non HA cluster... Marco

    Conversion of vmdk to qcow2. Is this correct?

    hi, it seems ok but why you ask? is it not working? if your vm in pve already runs with the vmdk disk, you can also use the "move disk" option, after selecting that vmdk in vm hardware list. move disk allows you to convert it to other formats without special knowledge. just a few clicks. see...

    The difference between Quorum and fencing

    afaik, in simple words: quorum is a rule to guarantee a coherent cluster status by multiple nodes (ie: majority of nodes see the same resources and can communicate properly) fencing is an isolation method for isolate failing cluster nodes to prevent problems when/if they come back (ie: if a vm...

    best way to backup whole node "system" partitions (boot and lvm)?

    ? afaik, pve backup works for vm/ct only, not for itself (the hypervisor node)... but maybe I am missing something...? that could well be, I was so tired today :D Marco

    best way to backup whole node "system" partitions (boot and lvm)?

    HI, I would like to be able to restore a pve node exactly how it is now, taking a full backup (boot and lvm partitions), to an external nas space. I would prefer a simple way, like booting from sysresccd or another live cd. I know a few methods (partimage, fsarchiver, dd..) that are easy to...

    Are there repositories for older versions available somewhere?

    I have subscriptions, and could need to upgrade my 3.1 nodes to 3.3 before 3.4. That linkasks me authentication, I don't know which though... What should I do? Is there any wiki page about this? Thanks! Marco

    HA with this hardware

    no, it is just 2node setup that need a third to have quorum if 1 node fails. more than half of the hosts must be online and communicating in order to provide service so, your quorum must be > (more than) expected votes each node (or quorum disk) tipically counts 1, so quorum is (nodes/2). if...
