    Proxmox 2.1 hangs on qmrestore

    Today i had occasion to try to restore a vm backup as another VMID for use as a "test" vm while my production vm's were running as normal. I used the GUI to do this. A few minutes into the process the previous problem documented in this thread reoccurred. First the GUI display of vm's went...

    Cluster Nodes become red without any reason once a week

    I am having the same difficulty on the GUI with my node becoming red and all vm's showing down while everything is actually running. HOWEVER, i am NOT running a HA or cluster. Just a single node. It seems to occur most often after my weekend backup. But this morning (mid-week - no backup...

    windows xp vm reboot loop

    Your loop most likely is caused by an incompatible driver. If you're concerned about removing it then you should back up your hard drive with clonezilla or similar so you can restore it after you're done.

    windows xp vm reboot loop

    I've encountered this issue with several different physical machines that i virtualized with SelfImage to Proxmox (btw, these instances would not boot into safe mode either.) The culprits were these: - Video driver. - Fiber channel driver and the system expecting to see a drive via fc. - Backup...

    Upgrading Root disk on Dual Disk System

    This is a continuation of the thread on restoring backups of vm's with large multiple disks. I believe the cause of the "tar: write error" was due to the system root disk being smaller than the vm disks being restored (restored to the 2nd "image" disk - very large). Our server with Proxmox...

    windows xp vm reboot loop

    There may be a driver (or sometimes some software) loaded on the physical machine that must be uninstalled before the SelfImage. I have experienced this same issue. In all but one case, removing all hardware specific drivers solved the issue (the one exception was a Windows Domain Controller.)

    qmrestore error using lzo compression

    Tried again to restore the same vm from a fresh backup to a new vm. I noticed the entire system starting to stutter (literally see pictures). The first picture was a 30-40 minutes into the restore. Then about 10 minutes later the stuttering got worse, connecting to vm consoles was...

    qmrestore error using lzo compression

    I am running into the exact same issue. I believe the problem occurs when there is a disk in the archive that is larger than the root partition. I think that the tar script in the restore procedure uses the root partition as its extraction area. Purely speculative. I have not been able to...
