gfoster, I don't know if this would work for you, but given that I just posted an "exploration" thread about Proxmox and Salt, using Salt may be an option for you in restarting services from one master Salt node. Preferably, you'd be running your Salt master outside of your Proxmox cluster. The...

Hi, I've recently started using Salt (SaltStack.org), an amazing remote execution management app. I can see almost unlimited ways of using Salt and was curious if: anyone has been using it with Proxmox, and if so, in which capacity; the Proxmox devs have looked into it; and if there's any...

I guess it would be a bit of a drag, but you could export to OVF, import into VMware workstation, creating the .vmdk and then converting it to .raw/.qcow. Potentially this could all be done on the same server. So, if you have some spare hardware around, it should be perfectly doable.

You can relatively easily convert a .vmdk to .raw or .qcow (Proxmox). Look at the wiki for more details. The forum also includes some threads for how to go about it.

Hi, Rather than me or someone else trying to explain how to go about things in Proxmox, I would strongly suggest you view some of the excellent video tutorials the Proxmox team has put together. After all, why reinvent the wheel? The majority of the tutorials are for the 1.x version of Proxmox...

Thanks Udo. Turns out the problem is/was with the http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian repo. I updated my sources.list to use HTTP instead of FTP, as described here: http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/8880-Update-Issues Works fine now.

[SOLVED] SNMPD on Proxmox 2.0 I tried to install SNMPD on my new Proxmox 2.0 box but I get a message saying "No candidate version found for snmpd." Does anyone have any ideas on how to get SNMPD so that it's possible to monitor the node.

argonius, Do you have any benchmarks you can provide? I've been considering a few different distributed storage technologies, among them Gluster, Sheepdog and Ceph and it would interesting to know what your experience has been with Gluster so far.

I had a "close call" today in my small, but important to me, testing Proxmox cluster and just wanted to post the outcome as a testament to Proxmox, Linux and a bunch of the open source technologies behind the scenes. So, here we go: Earlier this evening I had a sudden power outage. Since I have...

Well, in the GUI I'm not really getting an error message. I fill out the 'ID' and 'Server' fields and then try to use the 'Export' to scan for the shares, but it just says "Scanning" and shows a blank dropdown list. Is there a specific CLI command I can use to check it out?

Hi, In previous 2.0 releases I was successful in mounting a few NFS shares. However, recently, after running aptitude update && aptitude full-upgrade my NFS mount points don't work anymore. I tried to delete and re-add them, but it doesn't seem like it can read the NFS exports. It still works...

Here's one way of doing it ... Why don't you create a Network Attached Storage (NAS) virtual machine and make an NFS shared folder that all your VMs can read and write to? Look at OpenMediaVault, an open source NAS, if you want to do something like that.

Dietmar, Thanks. I tried your suggestion and it works fine.

I think what you're after is something like what's described here: http://forum.proxmox.com/showthread.php?t=7746 Right? I'm working on it. As soon as I have it working (the way I intend it to work), I'll post a how-to. It may take me some time, though, as I do this in my spare time...

Interested in the answer too ...

I'd suggest the fresh install and simply reload your config from backup. That should be faster than trying to increase the size of the disk.

Thanks Tom. Works beautifully. Out of curiosity, would: qm shutdown all ... work?

Sorry about that. I should've included that info. The guests I was trying to shutdown were all Ubuntu 10.04 server.

I've tried to run: qm shutdown <vmid> ... but it doesn't seem to shutdown my VMs. If I run: qm stop <vmid> ... it works just fine, though. But I'd rather not need to kill my machines that way. Any ideas/suggestions?

One thing you could try is to do a "poll" on Twitter and reach out to people that way. I'm sure there must be people out there who would volunteer such their use of Proxmox or KVM. I do know of some sizable installations in well-known organizations, but I'm not at liberty to talk about it. The...
