    NAT with DHCP best practice

    I have seen numerous questions regarding this, vague to little answers. What is the advised method for running multiple VMs behind a NAT on PVE (+dhcp)? I know of multiple ways to achieve it, but wonder if there is some "best practice" that applies to proxmox? Method 1: eth0 no ip vmbr0 >...

    Help Configure Internal Network for Guest VMs between Host 1 and Host 2

    I am not an expert on proxmox networking, but I would approach it as it is out of the box, the default config is to not apply an address to the eth* interface, but instead put it on a bridge, and then the bridge brings up the physical interface like so: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto...

    Experiencing some behavior changes in PVE 3.4. Mainly I am unable to boot iso from Grub4dos in KVM, worked fine in 3.3. My goal is to access the registry of an XP guest to inject ide drivers and fix mbr, if someone knows an alternate method to accomplish that I would love to know. I have...

    LXC 1.0 released, is now ready as a openvz replacement?

    I know this is an old post... but has any consideration been put in to LXD? Probably is not viable for immediate adoption as it was only just released, but sometime in the future it may. The key being that it builds on top of LXC and offers live migration...

    Re: pve 3 fails qm VMID set ide0 dev to add complete disk to vm Thanks Dietmar - that worked, one last question, since i was able to mount a usb to my VM, is there a way to make it hotpluggable to the VM and send mount/unmount commands to it so that it can be cleanly removed without a VM...

    pve 3 fails to add 2nd disk to vm using ext4 storage

    Re: pve 3 fails qm VMID set ide0 dev to add complete disk to vm replying to myself, it appears that I have narrowed this down to not being stored on ext3, although I am not sure how this matters if the it is being presented as a passthrough device. My USB drive is partitioned as: sdc1: ext4...

    What is best storage model for single server, local backing

    I guess from recent info on the wiki that qcow now being the default makes it the best format?? I am going to make a LVM volume, format it ext3 just like the default pve setup, and store my qcows on that.

    What is best storage model for single server, local backing

    In the past I have known that block devices on LVM are best, but I read a while back that qcow drivers have improved performance - so these days, what is the storage model sweet spot for features/performance. Already familiar with this: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage_Model Server specs...
