George (and OP): here's my seytup in a nutshell. Has been very stable since setup (about 2 weeks ago) and is being used constantly by a CentOS VM. I have configured three 2TB drives in RAID5 on my M5016 ServeRAID controller with write-back mode (BBU). Then, I created a PV on the resulting...

Hello, so I have asked on another thread which is getting quite long, and got no reply. I need to make this work ASAP since my main production server is down due to maxed out storage inside a specific CentOS VM,.. Basically, I have added 3X 2TB drives in a RAID5 config to my node, and I...

Re: Getting started with PVE storage model - software RAID5 array and storage concept OK before I resize (or reinstall proxmox) I need to find out how to properly use a new RAID5 array added to the node.. I created a RAID5 array from the M5016 controller and created a PV on the entire...

Already tried, I get root@proxmox:/var/lib/vz/template/qemu# ./conv.sh musicbrainz-server-vmware-2013-10-14-disk1.vmdk musicbrainz-server-vmware-2013-10-14-disk1.vmdk is VMDK3.n Patching to VMDK2.n Run this script again when you're done to patch it back. dd: invalid status flag: `none' Try `dd...

Re: kernel: EXT4-fs (dm-3): Unaligned AIO/DIO on inode 130479 by kvm; performance wil I am too getting these messages in syslog. I wonder how serous they are, and what do they mean? Anybody got more info on those? I am using Ext4 (for now).

Hey Tom. I just stumbled upon the same issue... Trying to import a VMWare appliance (MusicBrainz mirror server) onto proxmox... I guess if you want to try, give this a shot: The OVA is available at: ftp://mayhemchaos.org/pub/musicbrainz/vm/musicbrainz-server-vmware-2013-10-14.ova...

According to my google research, the bmc-watchdog mesages were coming from the FreeIPMI packages, and being installed on a CentOS VM, I assume the package had a hard time communicating (or maybe it couldn't at all) with the IPMI platform.... Anyways, no need for IPMI management from CentOS...

Re: Getting started with PVE storage model - software RAID5 array and storage concept Thanks! Yes I do have questions: 1. Would it be better using a bootable CD or is it just fine to do it under init1? 2. Do you advise against shrinking the root FS/lv? Any chance proxmox actually...

Hello, PVE 3.2 is installed on our local server running dual socket Opteron 4334 on a Supermicro H8DCL-iF motherboard. VM #101 running CentOS 6.5 x86_64 displays strange messages right after GUI has loaded (or early after loading up the basic stuff) bmc-watchdog:2863 map pfn expected...

Re: Getting started with PVE storage model - software RAID5 array and storage concept The documentation is not clear, or I cant find the right information, but storing data IN a VM is sure thing not the best way to do it isn't it?? If the VM gets corrupted, so you lose the machine AND the...

Re: Getting started with PVE storage model - software RAID5 array and storage concept Now with most questions out of the way, I am back asking more questions regarding proxmox storage and how to use it effectively... My main storage is using two 300GB SAS drives in RAID1 config. Disk is...

Node is running dual socket Opteron 4334 on a Supermicro H8DCL-iF motherboard. VM is configured with 2 cores Qemu64 Works perfectly (better than baremetal!) For the OP, my pfsense config looks like: vmbr0 (proxmox mgmt IP) vmbr1 passed to pfsense as WAN (physical cable from modem is...

Really?? Let me confirm that tonight, but I just installed pfsense in a proxmox VM and installed it from AMD64 image and it worked flawlessly.. The only thing I had to change was the CPU virtualization (from kvm64 to Qemu64

I am actually just passing the drives to the VM's from their conf files. Same for MDADM arrays. Not sure if its the best (most reliable) way of doing things but it works well... I will look at the link you posted and see what turns out from that

Ive had the very same problem about 2 days ago when my proxmox node was abruptly powered off (power outage).. Turned out, the computer I was using to access proxmox was faulty, for whatever reason, the OS was trying to reuse the IP lease that my pfsense VM had issued before the outage...

I would personally need someone threatning my life to run an enterprise solution like proxmox on top of something so unreliable such as fakeraid.... I had one experience in my life with motherboard raid, it was on windows XP a while back, created my array (RAID0), popped the OS and used it...

Re: Getting started with PVE storage model - software RAID5 array and storage concept Before you replied, I had them installed with Not sure why with apt-get they were not found... Now I've got the megacli, megactl & megaraid-status packages installed. The website...

Re: Getting started with PVE storage model - software RAID5 array and storage concept Ok! I am trying to install megacli, megactl and megaraid-status but I am getting What am I doing wrong? I followed the instructions at http://hwraid.le-vert.net/wiki/DebianPackages without errors...

Re: Getting started with PVE storage model - software RAID5 array and storage concept I meant that I now have two SAS drives connected to the two of the SAS ports on the card, one drive per port. So port-wise, the M5016 is maxed out. If I get a fanout cable, I can connect both drives on...

Re: Getting started with PVE storage model - software RAID5 array and storage concept Im already using a M5016 for my system drives (two SAS 15k rpm drives in RAID1) and I have another M1015 in HBA mode where my drives are connected to. Right now, passed through to the VM 'as-is' (no...
