    Why are my VMs dying with "hung_task_timeout_secs" ?

    The host (Proxmox) "seemed" normal. I mean I checked dmesg, top, iostat.. nothing abnormal. It all seemed to point to a temporary resource flood - something happening during the vzdump process perhaps? I was not able to get a login on the guest (ubuntu 12.04/14.04) to run anything. It was hosed...

    Why are my VMs dying with "hung_task_timeout_secs" ?

    No, no trunking/bonding/etc. I'm going to ditch the 3ware 9650 and try an Areca 1228i. I've got two other proxmox boxes running Arecas quite flawlessly so hopefully that's it.

    Why are my VMs dying with "hung_task_timeout_secs" ?

    Hello, Screenshot is from console of hung guest. Here is pveversion from Proxmox. # pveversion -v proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 3.3-147 (running kernel: 2.6.32-37-pve) pve-manager: 3.4-1 (running version: 3.4-1/3f2d890e) pve-kernel-2.6.32-32-pve: 2.6.32-136 pve-kernel-2.6.32-37-pve: 2.6.32-147...

    Why are my VMs dying with "hung_task_timeout_secs" ?

    Last week I installed Proxmox 3.4 on two older servers which have been running Linux KVM (via virt-manager) for years (almost flawlessly). Now, when running on Proxmox, I am getting hung_task_timeout messages in several different VMs at different times of the day (see pic). I thought this...

    Modifying Proxmox VNC arguments

    Thanks! Found the file to edit in the directory you mentioned and my VM is starting up now with: unix:/var/run/qemu-server/110.vnc,localhost,alwaysshared... VNC is soooo much snappier now :D

    Modifying Proxmox VNC arguments

    Is the code accessible on the proxmox install as Perl or Python or something or are you referring to a private codebase I wouldn't necessarily have access to as a customer. Thanks!

    Modifying Proxmox VNC arguments

    Is there any way on proxmox to change the args used to start the VNC server for the virtual? I'd like to run the vnc server on localhost:XXXX without x509 or TLS or password options. Then connect regular plain old VNC over an ssh tunnel. /usr/bin/kvm -id 110 -chardev...

    Any way to create a Virtual NIC on vmbr0?

    I was using Linux KVM and virt-manager to manage my virtual machines prior to Proxmox. Now, I'm migrating my Linux hosts over to Proxmox and running into a problem with Virtual NICs on the hypervisor. Is there a way to create a second virtual interface from within Proxmox? I can do this on the...

    How to migrate virtuals on LVM partitions to proxmox (qcow2)?

    Hi, I have several Linux KVM virtuals which were created in Ubuntu's virt-manager that I would like to move to Proxmox. What is the best way to do this? I've made a snapshot of one of my LVM based virtuals and then mounted both the proxmox Qcow2 image, and lvm snapshot, using losetup in order to...

    grub2 update problems for 3.4 (GUI only), leading to not correctly installed packages

    Re: grub2 update problems (GUI only), leading to not correctly installed packages Um..Are you sure? I just ran that and getting an error about initramfs-tools being broken. dpkg-reconfigure did ask about installing grub to /dev/sda (which is my correct boot drive) so I ticked it and hit OK...

    Manage multiple nodes without clustering?

    I have two Proxmox nodes that I'd like to be able to manage from the same web interface. I thought clustering would allow this, which it did, but I do not have the redundancy to support clustering. Is there another way to manage the multiple nodes within the same interface, without clustering...

    Windows 7 and "required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing"

    Hi all, I'm trying to install Windows 7 in Proxmox 3 and I don't think Windows can see the virtual hard disk. I've tried several combinations of storage formats and shortly after I click "Install Now", I get "..a required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing". I'm not sure what that means...
