787 MB/s - wow. Are you sure that is true? That sounds like cache to me. What does pveperf /var/lib/vz give you?

The only additional thing I was doing was doing a full VM backup on all three nodes to a remote NFS server.

Forgot to say - I installed it as a KVM machine with out any issue what-so-ever.....

As I understand it, OpenVPN is free for anybody to use - the OpenVPN Access Server (which I have purchased) is a separate product which provides a management GUI for creating VPN bundles that clients can download and install. For example, I have it connected to my LDAP server so anybody can now...

Hi all, I mistakenly specified a local disk instead of the remote NFS mount as the target for the backup directory and promptly ran out of disk space. Unfortunately now some of the /etc/qemu-server/XYZ.conf files are empty. Not all of them, but some of them: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root...

Hi all, My proxmox server became unresponsive for a few minutes and the VMs weren't working. When I managed to log back on (after 10 minutes or so), /var/log/messages was full of: Jul 18 13:59:45 pvemaster kernel: __ratelimit: 3204726 callbacks suppressed Jul 18 13:59:50 pvemaster...

I am running 2.6.32 and have a few 2008 Standard (32bit) KVMs with fresh install, some single CPU, some multi-core and all are rock solid. They are SQL DB Servers, some of which get hit constantly.

I use both. I view proxmox backup as an (excellent) disaster recovery situation. I use backuppc as a 'doh - I didn't mean to save that file'.

May I suggest (not affiliated in anyway!) http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/? It can use rsync (or samba to backup windows machines) and in my experience it works flawlessly. Just set it up and off it goes. I have it running as a complimentary solution to backing up the entire VM

Thanks as always.

Hi all, I have a SAN which exposes a number of LUNs. Some of those are mapped by the proxmox cluster. I noticed that every VM hard disk is actually a logical volume in the volume group that represents that LUN. Is there any reason why I shouldn't manually create a volume group in that...

Cheers, as always!

Hi all, I just want to make sure I tread carefully as this is production. I have a two node cluster set up which stores its VMs on a SAN and has access to a number of VLANs. I now want to add a third node. What do I need to do before I add it to the cluster other than assigning it its...

I don't *think* you will need to re-activate Windows because the virtualised platform you install Windows into will stay the same. And yes, AFAIK you can have different architectures in the same cluster.

The one difference is that your host and VM are on the same VLAN/subnet ID. I am not sure how you configure that, but I don't think that configuration is right. If your host can ping the outside world then your VM should probably use vmbr0. You might need to activate port-forwarding...

What problems are you having? Also - post your /etc/network/interfaces for the hosts and guests. I would suggest you get it working on one machine first, i.e. make sure that one machine can host VMs on both VLANs. The following is my host /etc/network/interfaces which works great...

try doing the following (I did this very thing last night ;)): - install bmon on the host (bandwidth monitor) and start it - do the dd if=/ .... that we talked about in another post on the guest - monitor the throughput on the NIC in question ( * * * HACK HACK HACK - THIS MIGHT BURN YOUR...

Re: (URGENT!!) Disks have disappeared from the SAN I think it might have been my fault (isn't it always ;)). I started using the SAN within seconds of creating the VDisk which was minutes after the RAID 10 was created on brand new disks. The SAN said "initialising" but I thought hey - it is...

By the way - I noticed that when I upgraded from 2.18 to 2.32 I got quite a big boost. Hard to be definitive because there are so any things happening all at once on a busy server, but it might be worth considering (unless you need openvz?). Also, using virtio disks in Ubuntu gave a...
