You got it right! /etc/resolv.conf was pointing to the old virtualized router.... root@proxmox:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf search localdomain nameserver 192.168.0.100 Once I changed it to the new pfsense router's LAN IP, apt-0get worked! Damn, I didnt think changing network configuration would be...

Hello hodo Based on your reply and the suggested content for /etc/network/interfaces, I have made a few modifications to match my user case and needs. Namely, I have added another bridge block for the second ethernet port to be used as a separate route to my router. The file now looks like...

OK I just managed to make the webUI accessible once again by commenting out everything in /etc/networking/interfaces except the eth0 block. Now the file looks like: # network interface settings auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.5...

Hello, I am migrating from a virtualized pfsense router running as a KVM machine in PVE, to a hardware one, and so far, I managed to build the real one and its working fine. Next step is to reconfigure the networking stack in PVE node. I want the following setup, but somehow all I managed to...

Thanks Wolfgang for replying and specifying this is not good practice. Weird because on the freenas forums, they are all for it... I guess between virtualization and storage things are significantly different. For now I will leave the PVE server as-is. Its been running 24/7 for 385 days now...

Hello fellow PVE users. I am wondering if there is a way to throttle back CPU speed or set CPU power states to save energy in PVE? My PVE server has the following hardware config: Supermicro H8DCL-iF (dual socket C32 motherboard) 2x Opteron 4334 6 core CPU 4x8GB DDR3-1600 ECC RAM 4x Hitachi...

Hello LnxBil, sorry for the late reply, I got busy and couldnt try to troubleshoot this tiny VM not being used too often (its a PXE boot server so...) I followed the instructions on RedHat's website to reset root's password with the "init=/bin/bash" trick as you suggested, it worked flawlessly...

Hello, I started hardening my centos servers (running as KVM, not containers) by disabling SSH access for root, and creating a dummy user for SSH only which will be the only user that will be able to SSH. I did not create a home folder for this user thinking it would be more "secure". That...

We need a bit more details to help you. For example, are you setup like me? In my case, the modem is most likely to blame... Since I replaced it with another model, I haven't had this occurrence once, at least that I can tell.

Dear Proxmox users, I am investigating an issue with my internet connection where it seems to randomly drop for no apparent reasons, and comes back on its own after a few minutes. During that time, the local network seems to work fine, but nothing is going or coming from the outside...

OK managed to recreate the startup script from Debian's wikis and the powerout/onbatt/offbatt.. scripts from other sources. All is working well now.

Exactly as I suspected I managed to really screw up... After trying to compile from sources, I abandonned because it was complaining that there was some missing libraries (mainly libGD). After retrying with barely any options in ./configure, it finally compiled but upon execution, it was...

Considering I dont have any experience with Debian and backporting, and the criticallity of this proxmox node, I think I will pass for now and maybe try in a dummy proxmox install (a test VM). After all its not only installing the package files but there are other dependencies and I am not...

Very good idea, but its not working and I dont know why... I followed the instructions of the Debian wiki on how to backport packages from one Debian release to another: 1. Created "nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list" with this line in it: deb http://http.debian.net/debian...

Hello, I am running a Proxmox VE node for a SoHo application and I recently purchased a Smart UPS from APC (Model SMT750RM2U) which seems to use MODBUS (RS232) instead of the former simpler protocol. As a result, apcupsd that is available for proxmox (from repo: deb...

100000% agreed. Just today I had a major power outage and the server didnt shutdown clean. Thanks to whatever, it seems as if I didnt lose anything but still, a APC UPS being connected to the node would be better managed by an interface extension in PVE... Freenas has the possibility to...

hello mir, thanks for replying! No I did not look at current vCPU and RAM usage from within the current Centos server to "size" the future VM's except for the ubuntu VM because it is already standalone.... For the database server, 32 GB would be used for the InnoDB buffer to increase the...

Re: Update PVE fails - Release file is expired? Case closed! firewall issues... Sorry

Hello I am currently using proxmox VE 3.3 to virtualize some machines on a SOHO server. While all is currently running OK, I am left with some problems that I have a hard time to solve. For example, one of the VM is a Centos server which basically runs everything. When something crashes...

Hello, I went ahead and manually ran a fetch for updates from the WebGUI and it quickly aborted saying starting apt-get update Hit http://security.debian.org wheezy/updates Release.gpg Hit http://security.debian.org wheezy/updates Release E: Release file for...
