    Feature request - display the list of NICs on the Hardware page in the added order

    Hi, I have just created a VM and added 7 NICs (it is the vyatta firewall/gateway) and the order of the NICs is very important. Unfortunately the NICs displayed in the Hardware page aren't in the same order, so it is going to be really hard to diagnose which NIC maps to which ethX device...

    How to move from local storage to iscsi storage?

    Hi all, I have a local disk system on which I have created a number of VMs. Now I have configured access to the SAN and I want to move the VMs onto the SAN. This is quite important as the other nodes in the cluster only have access to the SAN - is there an easy and foolproof way to do...

    Feature request - allow a startup delay to be specified (or dependency on another VM)

    Hi, I have a number of VMs on a single physical host which have interdependencies. For example, there is a DBServer and a number of Application servers. The appServers won't start correctly until the dbServer is up and running. It would be great if I could tell Proxmox about this...

    Can hosts in a cluster run over a non-standard SSH port (i.e. not 22)

    Hi all - thanks for your suggestions. I realise I can change the port and how to lock it down etc. My question is does proxmox clustering assume that it will be port 22 anywhere, and if so can I change it? Has anybody got a cluster running on a different port, and what did they have to do...

    last virtio-win drivers from fedora (15/06/2010)

    I am still trying to get to the bottom of this - so apologies if this is a cross post. Has anybody experienced disk or network problems under heavy load on Windows 2008 machines? I hate spreading FUD - and I am hoping I get a raft of "no problems here guv" responses....

    Feature request - use the machine name in the backup label rather than the VMID

    First off - the backup capabilities (and reliability!) of Proxmox is primarily why I have returned from the pretty darn good world of ESXi. However, one maintenance pain is that the backups contain the VMID which doesn't really mean anything to me. It would be great if the backups...

    Feature request - enable aliases for VLANs

    I have a number of VLANs and it would be really really useful if I could register an alias for them in the web app. When creating a new machine I could choose vmbr-Testing instead of having to remember it is vmbr17. ESXi has this down to a T with it's network configuration, but a simple...

    Bye bye ESXi - I am coming home to proxmox :)

    Thanks all - VLANs are working great - simply create them through the web console and make sure the vmbrX binds to eth0.X where X is the ID of the VLAN. Restart and then off you go.

    Can hosts in a cluster run over a non-standard SSH port (i.e. not 22)

    Title says it all really. The hosts will be on the public net so I don't want SSH running on port 22. Is this possible? The machines will all be in a single cluster. Many thanks, Col

    Bye bye ESXi - I am coming home to proxmox :)

    Hi all, Long time no see ;) Anyway, I have dabbled with ESXi and it really is very nice once you get used to the weird placement of menu options. But I really cannot swallow the lack of basic features compared to proxmox, so I am considering coming back. First though, a few questions...

    VLAN across cluster networking question

    Hi, I currently have 4 physical machines served off a SAN configured in XenServer. I am considering moving back to proxmox as XenServer is just a little bit too restrictive - love Xen, just not XenServer. Each host has 4 1GB NICs - two which are bonded to the external network, and 2...

    Good Proxmox Hosting

    interesting - I emailed the UK support a month ago and they said no. This is in the HG series?

    2 days benchmark KVM,VMware,Xen,Hyper-V

    I don't think the RedHat drivers are that different from the open source ones are they? I did all my testing on 32bit OSes.

    2 days benchmark KVM,VMware,Xen,Hyper-V

    I must confess that I love proxmox, but purely down to this I have moved to XenServer. I really miss proxmox's features like easy backup, moving between hosts without needing shared storage, web based GUI etc. But, to be honest my virtualised DB performs significantly better on XenServer and...

    Good Proxmox Hosting

    When I asked them they said they wouldn't supply RAID cards with a BBU - have you heard different?

    Good Proxmox Hosting

    I would say be careful ;) I have a number of servers with them and when everything works it is great. However not everything works all the time - just check the forums. Also, bear in mind the RAID controllers do not have a BBU - my EG with hardware RAID1 gets 150-200 FSYNCs a second...

    VM crash after power failure

    (sorry to hijack) - do you know when that release is expected both in mainstream and in proxmox?

    Disappointing performance for DB in KVM with BBU RAID10 over SAS 15K disks and Virtio

    Re: Disappointing performance for DB in KVM with BBU RAID10 over SAS 15K disks and Vi Which version of KVM is included in the 2.6.18 kernel? Upgrading to .32 doesn't seem to help any. Would running against the proxmox testing help?

    Disappointing performance for DB in KVM with BBU RAID10 over SAS 15K disks and Virtio

    Re: Disappointing performance for DB in KVM with BBU RAID10 over SAS 15K disks and Vi Excellent point - yes it does have 100%. Hmm, how can I solve that though - giving it multiple cores won't help will it? This actually has 16 cores because of hyper-threading - will turning off...
