Hello all, been using PVE on my government agency. The budget is so tight, that we are using plain hardware in order to install PVE. Thing is, we have been using this great piece of software for free (ie without any subscription). Today, I had to create a new PVE host. So, I was wondering...

Can't really tell, not a Linux expert here. However, the first/data partition seems to be just fine, so perhaps you could delete the swap and the extended partition and do directly a swap partition. Check if the issue persists.

Replying to myself, I took the logical way of backing up the VMs stored in the WD disk to another disk, removed the VMs, removed the VG, PV and /dev/sdb1 and recreated the latter one. This time it was 4k-aligned. Recreated the PV, VG, configured the Vm storage from web admin and restored the...

Hello all, got a rather old community-version PVE system running: # pveversion -v proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 3.4-172 (running kernel: 2.6.32-44-pve) pve-manager: 3.4-13 (running version: 3.4-13/4c745357) pve-kernel-2.6.32-44-pve: 2.6.32-172 pve-kernel-2.6.32-41-pve: 2.6.32-164...

Missed that, thank you :)

Hello Tom and thank you for your very fast response! However, regarding my upgrade question I remained a bit buffled. My sources.list repository is as instructed in the wiki: root@pve-1:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ftp.gr.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib # security updates deb...

Hello all, I've been using pve since 2.x as a free platform and continued doing so. At the moment, I believe I have 3.1 installed: proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 3.1-114 (running kernel: 2.6.32-26-pve) pve-manager: 3.1-21 (running version: 3.1-21/93bf03d4) pve-kernel-2.6.32-26-pve: 2.6.32-114 lvm2...

hmm tried that one as well but it did not work...

Experiencing a similar problem here with a Windows 7 guest. Can you please reply or PM me with the specific loader you had success with?

Thanks again for all this valuable information. Consider thread solved!☺

Quite impressive, although I must say that I do not understand how that is possible, does pve take a snapshot of some sort immediately after the VM is powered down and before powering it up? Furthermore, in the stop case, perhaps /var/log/syslog must be corrected: Feb 28 09:48:53 INFO...

Thanks for the details and clarifications! Tom, could you have a quick peek at http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/17938-Bug-or-feature-During-backup-with-stop-VM-wakes-up? Somehwhat related to the last questions regarding vzdump -stop ...

In http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore the following is mentioned: Does this mean that after bringing the system down, it is booted almost immediately after (and, as a result, it is alive when the backup is underway)? That would explain what I was experiencing above, that is the...

Fresh pve 3.1 installation here: ~# pveversion -v proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 3.1-114 (running kernel: 2.6.32-26-pve) pve-manager: 3.1-21 (running version: 3.1-21/93bf03d4) pve-kernel-2.6.32-26-pve: 2.6.32-114 lvm2: 2.02.98-pve4 clvm: 2.02.98-pve4 corosync-pve: 1.4.5-1 openais-pve: 1.1.4-3...

Actually one more question, now that I've managed to shutdown my win7 vm successfully: the backup options offered are stop, suspend and snapshot. What does the "stop" option do to bring the system down? Shutdown or power off?

Somehow it works right now. It's a pity that I do not know what exactly fixed things here... For the record, I changed all the following: * make sure that in power options, pressing the power button shuts down the system * Disable the 'Shutdown Event Tracker'. This setting in Group Policy. If...

Unfortunately, I do not understand what Tom implies. The bottomline is that I'll follow your advice for the backups: use KVM snapshots to do them without stopping the system. Which leaves one final problem. Shutting down the guest, in the case of a power failure. ATM, I have nut installed on...

TBH, I do not how to go about this. This is a Windows VM fresh install, on a fresh install of PVE 3.1. Followed the settings wizard closely. I just elected to use virtio, as outlined in your windows 7 best practices wiki page. I did search the forum, but found nothing conclusive. Just some...

That's exactly my idea, till I find a way to force a shutdown. I'd prefer to have the safest way to backup. That is, with the VM turned off. For some reason, even today backing up a live file system gives me the chills :) What does the snapshot you are referring to utilize? LVM2 snapshot?

I have created a Windows 7 32-bit VM, under proxmox 3.1: ~# pveversion -v proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 3.1-114 (running kernel: 2.6.32-26-pve) pve-manager: 3.1-21 (running version: 3.1-21/93bf03d4) pve-kernel-2.6.32-26-pve: 2.6.32-114 lvm2: 2.02.98-pve4 clvm: 2.02.98-pve4 corosync-pve: 1.4.5-1...
