Re: PVE3.1 + FreeBSD8.3 / pfsense - KVM Hardware Virtualization and VirtIO not possib I tried different CPU types but it still does nott boot if KVM Harware Virtualization is enabled. Further I do not recognize any performance improvements when changing the CPU types. So a little question which...

Re: PVE3.1 + FreeBSD8.3 / pfsense - KVM Hardware Virtualization and VirtIO not possib Thank you for that link. Unfortunately the problem is not the HDD. I installed pfsense with IDE drives and after that I switched to VirtIO and I changed config files on pfsense. This is how it is documented...

Try first with only one interface as WAN interface. Thiss will make pfsense create a firewall rule which allows you to access the webGUI from WAN interface. Then shutdown pfsense and add the LAN/DMZ interface. Connect again to your pfsense from WAN and set the rules the way you like/need. PS...

Re: PVE3.1 + FreeBSD8.3 / pfsense - KVM Hardware Virtualization and VirtIO not possib Hi, thank you for your response. I of course enabled Intel VT-d and all the other Virtualization options. Further the BIOS shows me that Virtualizations is supported for that specific CPU. To make sure I...

Re: PVE3.1 + FreeBSD8.3 / pfsense - KVM Hardware Virtualization and VirtIO not possib Hi, thank you for your feedback. This - of course - helps to boot the system but it does not solve the problem. I still cannot enable KVM Hardware Virtualization within Proxmox 3.1 and boot FreeBSD 8.3 /...

Hi, I am running Proxmox VE 3.1 on a Fujitsu Siemens Primergy TX120 S6 Server with Intel Xeon E1220v2 CPU. I have virtualisation support enabled on the Fujitsu BIOS. I have two VMs running, one is Windows Server 2008R2, and I have KVM Hardware Virtualization enabled on Proxmox. This is...

Hello, I am using Proxmox VE 3.1 with latest patches and I tried to mount an external buffalo linkstation to store my backups on. I followed this guide: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage_Model#HowTo_mount_a_Windows_.28SaMBa.29_share_on_Proxmox_VE_via_.2Fetc.2Ffstab On this buffalo I created...

Thank you spirit, will chose qcow2 as format and do live snapshots and offline backups. You posting and mir's helped me. Have a nice weekend!

Thank you very much for your feedback. I used the following tutorial to add my second hard disk: http://www.debiantutorials.com/add-a-second-hard-disk/ I added it as "Directory" on the PVE GUI and it is formatted as ext3. Would this allow me to make snapshots of RAW images?

Hi everybody, I was asking myself what would be the optimal format to chose for performance when using windows guests and KVM. I have a 72GB SAS RAID-1 partition form ProxmoxVE3.0 and 500GB SATA RAID-1 mounted into a directory. My intention is to do snapshots on the VMs and do backups to a...

Thank you! VirtIO Drivers are - of course - already installed on Windows machines (NIC + HDD). Also the Ballooning service for dynamic memory allocation. :D Question about I/O: I had VirtIO installed for HDD and NIC. When I was copying 200GB of files from on physica server to a VM server I hat...

Hi p3x-749 and ebiss, thank you for your feedback. When reading your posts and the documentation you pointed me to I think it would make sense to assign all 4 cores the Xeon CPU has to every of the 3 VMs because they mostly do not run on high load and if there is high load mostly only one VM...

Hi, At the moment I am running a server which has 1 physical CPU with 4 cores. All VMs are KVM. Assuming I want to run more than 3 VMs how should I assign the cores? If I run PVE3.0 and 3VMs I give one core per VM and leave one core over for PVE3.0 itself. So I assume that all 3 VMs running on...

Hi again, want to let you know that it worked. I got a 100GB raw image, converted it back to qcow2 and then startet it in a test VM with success. After that I stopped the running VM and placed the qcow2 image in there and rebootet the machine. It worked like a charm. Thank you very much for...

Hi, will try with this command to the the process in percentage: --- edit --- Looks different than before. The destination file has a size of ~100GB and does not increase even if the pecentage value increases. Will let it run now and try the rest from home using VPN. Thank you so much intil...

Hi Udo, thank you very much for your help: This is when doing ps -aux on the normal running machine: This when try to freeze the process: Nothing changed, didn't it? When I do lsof I get this: Is there some other process 2868 and/or 2865 using this file also? Do I need to freeze more...

Hi Udo, I did what you said but it does not seem to work. Then started the copy but still a file with 160GB increasing. How could I make sure that the process really stopped? Please remember - I am a linux n00b ;-)

Hi Udo, yes - the machine seems to be very calm I think. You say "stop" the machine but wouldn't this result in a deleted file and empty /proc ? Or is this the same as the "Stop" option on the GUI? I am asking this because we probably backuped everything and could restore this on a new VM...

Hmm...doesn't seem to work like I thought. When I created the VM I added 100GB as HDD space. The space used in realyti on the guest was 40GB. When I started to copy from /proc I got a file size of 200GB still increasing... Could this be because I restored the file on the same partition as the...

Hi Kyc, thank you very much for your help and your suggestion. We just started after I deleted the VM files to make backups of the database and system configuration files on the guest machine. And you are absolutly right - I don't know how it is possible to "delete" files which are in use...
