The kernel pve-kernel-3.10.0-1-pve (3.10.0-5) boots fine with the ARC-1214 controller. I need to do more tests if anything is still stable. I will come back to report.

@dietmar: To help testing, should I install this kernel (link above) or the 3.10 (as mentioned here: http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/17306-New-3-10-0-Kernel) on an old areca to help testing old/new driver? Should I try the 3.10 kernel on the new system too (as a standard kernel)?

Just an update for reference. So far the new kernel seems to work fine. I will deploy the new kernel to another system with an older ARC-1231ML controller in 1-2 days to check if the new Areca driver will cause any trouble on these controller. Expect a status report on monday or tuesday.

Is there a time frame when I can expect a new (even beta) image with this driver included?

Yes, this kernel works with my ARC-1224 raid controller. Thank you very much for your help and giving hints how to create the iso image.

Using something else to bootstrap proxmox isn't that easy either since there seems no existing linux distribution that includes a suitable driver. But I just finished to install centos 6.5 with a suitable driver provided by areca. I hope within the next 60 minutes I get proxmox to boot from the...

I must miss something else. I even tried to create an iso without mkzftree and burned that to a dvd-rw but it will stuck at the beginning. Is there any information / script that describes how the proxmox iso image is created?

I tried to recreate the proxmox boot CD since the current sysrecue CD didn't recognize the Areca ARC-12x$ raid controller too. So I can't even clone proxmox from a working setup. To recreate the proxmox ISO I've done this: But till yet I didn't succeed to boot the newly created image. It will...

I just try to rebuild the proxmox iso but my iso images is much bigger than expected (I removed the old kernel already). What parameters or script do you use to build the ISO image? I can just install the kernel since I can't see any raid volume with the old iso. Maybe I could try to restore a...

Just looking at the kernel sources and found that there's already support to included new areca drivers. I've reenabled the Makefile commands and try to compile a kernel. Maybe this will work right out of the box. Just looking (a few minutes) at the developer documentation there seems to be no...

Wow that's fast, I didn't even finished to clone the proxmox kernel via git so far ;) mir is correct the driver is located at http://www.areca.us/support/s_linux/driver/rhel/6_4.zip And the new driver is needed for this cards: http://www.areca.com.tw/products/sas3g_internal.htm

I just tried to install the latest proxmox 3.1 ISO but the kernels fails to detect my ARC-1224 controller. Looking at the source of the proxmox kernel it seems there is arcmsr.1.20.0X.15-110330.zip included but this release is missing support for the ARC-12x4 controller. Any change that the...

Hello Dietmar, just to make sure. I can't backup a VM without a local disc without the error message "empty device list"? I could just a a litte (empty) local disc but I just want to make sure there is no other way. The possibility to add an ISO to a backup is indeed almost never needed. I was...

I'm running Proxmox 3.1 and recently added a new VM with an empty device list. The VM just boots an ISO image (kind of special firewall) and has no local disk attached. This works pretty well but the daily backup complains about an "empty device list". I could remove the VM at all from the...

+1 for dietmar idea. Seems simply enough to understand and is useful too. Just another idea. I've done some tests that abuses some of our VM. I would like to revert to a state before the tests and made an extra backup. But I didn't find a way to "preserve" such an important backup or mark it...

With KVM you can add the vid/tag to a network while configuring the VM. The VM has no knowledge about VLAN in this case. I want the same when I use OpenVZ. But I miss the feature to set the vid/tag while configuring network on a vz container. The only way to achive this right now is to create a...

Just a comment, I also tried to find the vma spec and followed the dead link. Maybe it's simply missing.

Thanks Udo, the qm rescan is exactly what I needed.

After upgrading my first node to proxmox 2.3 I would like to start using the new snapshot feature. As far as I understand I need to convert the disk files to qcow2 format. Basiclly following the http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Resizing_disks#Optionally_convert_VMDK_images_to_RAW_or_QCOW2 should work...

+1 for this suggestion. It would be really nice to get anything else than Java to access the console.
