    Cluster upgrade: Best practice?

    Hi, I've done cluster upgrades quite a few times, but because it's not that often that I do it, I don't recall my exact steps. I looked at the wiki, but I couldn't find much in terms of procedures for upgrading a cluster. That said, I should probably document how I do it. But before I before I...

    Some sort of virtual router, like pfSense or Smoothwall

    It wouldn't work like that. I don't think you can "trick" Proxmox to use pfSense as if it were a true hardware device. However, if you VLANed everything out, I believe it would work the way you want it to. But you would need to VLAN it ... I think.

    Some sort of virtual router, like pfSense or Smoothwall

    I haven't fully implemented it the way you describe your "dream scenario" but I have run pfSense 2.0 in Proxmox with no issues. I didn't try virtio drivers, but I've read it's supposedly supported in the FreeBSD kernel now. Give it a shot! pfSense rocks, just like Proxmox.

    Roadmap for Proxmox VE 2.0

    In the KVM+OpenVZ 2.6.32 kernel, will KSM be supported? Or will we need to run the KVM-only kernel to get KSM?

    Lost Internet connection in two VMs

    Thanks for the quick response Udo. I didn't have traceroute installed on those two machines. Don't ask me why. I should have. In any case, just to test, I changed the IP address of one of the machines. It suddenly worked pinging outside resources. However, still, none of those two particular...

    Lost Internet connection in two VMs

    Hi, I lost Internet connection in two different VMs, one KVM and one OpenVZ, after an ISP outage. All other VMs appear to work fine. The DNS works in the two affected machines, but I can't ping out to any resource outside my local network. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    PVE 1.8 and 1.3?

    FWIW, I've upgraded my cluster version to version since 1.1 or something. It's always worked well. If anything, OpenVZ has given me more issues than KVM/Qemu. That said, I've never made a big version leap like you are asking about, though. Just an idea if you don't have a spare machine: Why...

    Roadmap for Proxmox VE 2.0

    A previous reply in this thread indicates that there will be a direct upgrade path from a running 1.x installation.

    VMs do not reboot

    @dietmar - I assume the file-rc needs to be installed on the Proxmox host, not in the guest? @lastguru - Thanks, those are good commands to know.

    VMs do not reboot

    As for the VM, it completely freezes and I can't get to it at all. I don't know how to check it from within the Proxmox host. However, since it's an OpenVZ guest I would assume I can, though. If so, do you happen to know and can provide me the command?

    VMs do not reboot

    Thanks lastguru. I've had that problem too from time to time with OpenVZ VMs, but I don't think it's the same issue. In the thread you posted, the machine "properly" shuts down, but it's left in a mounted stage, but doesn't reboot. In my case, the machine simply doesn't shutdown/reboot at all...

    OpenVZ machine not shutting down

    Thx ProxTox. Will check it out further. Although it would be a hassle, I'm considering rebuilding my OpenVZ machine and use KVM instead. Over the past year I've had more and more issues with OpenVZ, while I've had very few, if any, issues when using KVM.

    OpenVZ machine not shutting down

    @ ProxTox - What does acpid do? I can't find a good description of it when searching for it. And do you know why it would be that I would suddenly need it now when I haven't needed it before? I'm not averse to installing it, I'm just wondering what it would do and why I've never had an issue...

    VMs do not reboot

    I'm having a similar problem, or maybe it's the same, I'm not sure. In any case, one OpenVZ (the only OpenVZ instance I have) won't reboot or shut down, no matter how I try to shut it down, from console (VNC or SSH), from Proxmox CLI, or from Proxmox GUI. I also started a separate thread...

    OpenVZ machine not shutting down

    Hi, I'm running 1.7 with 2.6.32 kernel in a 2 server cluster. I have one OpenVZ machine running and a few KVM ones. Ever since I upgraded to 1.7 I can't get the OpenVZ machine to shut down. All my KVM machines shut down just fine. In order to shut it down I have to force a reboot of my Proxmox...

    VLAN setup

    Hi, I have a similar question to dad311. I've been running Proxmox for quite sometime now and love it. My Proxmox servers are physically located in my DMZ. Now, however, I have a need to build a few VMs in my LAN, and therefore need to set up a VLAN configuration for the servers. I already...

    Roadmap for Proxmox VE 2.0

    Will it be possible to do a direct upgrade from Proxmox 1.x to 2.0, or will you recommend/require a clean installation? If the latter, will you have a guide for migration of servers from 1.x versions of Proxmox to 2.0? Thanks for your awesome work! Looking forward to beta testing the 2.0 release.

    KVM: Disk and NetWork Type Card

    I'm interested in the same. Lately I've been running: - Win2008/Win7: Using RAW for HD and Virtio for Network - Ubuntu Server: Using qcow2 for HD and e1000 for Network It's been running well. Perhaps my VMs can be further optimized. I'd be interested in any ideas/suggestions.

    Proxmox - Backup Now?

    I don't think the functionality you're asking for exists in the exact way you describe it, at least not from the UI level. As a work-around, simply create a scheduled backup job to run a few minutes from "now" and let it run to backup your machine. Then, if you don't want it to run again, delete...

    Support for OpenStack Swift Object Storage?

    OK ... you may be correct. :) Hopefully support will lead to integration in the long-term, though.
