    Using macvtap driver

    I'm sure I'm missing something but why? Proxmox has all the routing needed built in.. you can also use openswitch if you prefer. As far as I've found doing some quite complex configurations I've not seen anything I couldn't do with the built in stuff.

    No internet from time to time KVM

    Check through all the vms and look at their mac addresses. Make sure they are all unique on the network. If you have a good quality switch you might be able to AP look in its logs for MAC address conflicts. Or look in the proxmox syslogs.

    Recover disk from deleted VM

    Backup? Otherwise you're likely looking at a data recovery agency. Their are expensive tools which "might" do something, but likely not. The file system has marked the area as free and likely written over it by now depending on free space and utilisation of system,

    Auto deploy KVM machines

    I set my VMs to DHCP and let the network set the IP.. I have a simple Perl script which asks proxmox via API to clone a Template, set network Params and boot it. My script also picks the leased loaded proxmox head on which to migrate and start it.

    Private / Exclusive console (virtual lab)

    Not sure if that's possible. I have built a Ruby on Rails front end app to manage the user interaction with proxmox. In fact no one really knows it's proxmox at the backend (Sorry guys! :) This way I can tightly control who can perform what actions. I also use nginx reverse proxy for access to...

    Server Crisis, Advice welcomed!

    Well If you really don't have the drive anymore you can modify the VM settings and remove the drive... This will let the windows system boot.. HOWEVER if the drive contain useful information then that's obviously going to be missing. You don't say what the window server is running but if it's...

    Server Crisis, Advice welcomed!

    Check the VM which doesn't start.. under hardware config.. check for CD I'll lay bets that it's pointing to an ISO image which was present on the bad drive. If that's the case just edit the CD-ROM and set it to unused. Try to start the VM again. Should it fail copy th error messages so we can...

    Cloud or Remote Backup

    I use FreeNAS as my storage system. With FreeNAS I can setup schedule snapshot syncing to another FreeNAS server. This allows me to keep a back up off site. Because we are syncing the snapshots, we're only syncing the Deltas between the snapshots. So rather than having to ship many Tb for...

    Zimbra Question - Self-signed Certificates with iOS

    This is because the certs aren't trusted by apple systems. Best option is to use letsencrypt.org a free ssl cert generation service. You'll get trusted certs for your mail server.

    Feature Request...Backup pools

    Hi all, I've started to make use of pools to help manage my growing VM servers. It would be really nice to be able to select a pool of VMs which I would like to backup. For example I have a pool called "coreSystems", it would be nice under backup to be able to select this pool and backup any...

    Privileges needed to modify VM args

    oh :( that's very disappointing.. Most of the VMs that I create via my portal need to have serial and VNC set. I can't set them from a template as they would all end up with the same port numbers. I think there needs to be another priv which does allow for this. Otherwise I'm stuck with my...
