Just wanted to add a word of praise as well. Outstanding work, Proxmox team! Thank you. I use Proxmox for personal projects. But soon will roll out a two-node cluster for a non-profit org.

Just noticed this still isn't in Proxmox v3.4. Any reason why this hasn't been added? Running an LDAP server with anonymous binds is a security issue in my book.

Yes. I understand that vzdump is a command line tool. However what did you mean by this bit that I quoted? Select vzdump? What are you talking about? How do you "select" vzdump? Are you referring to the Content type being set to "Backups" to allow for backups to be stored?

We are not out of the woods yet. :) I'm configuring 2 servers with the following RAID and mounts layout: Server1: 2x 146GB RAID1 (OS and /var/lib/vz/), 4x146GB in RAID10 ( mounted as /vm_storage/) Server2: 2x 146GB RAID1 (OS and /var/lib/vz), 2x300GB in RAID1 (mounted as /vm_storage/) I have...

Wait... two independent (local to each node) storage locations cannot be mounted at the same time? Why not? Each storage is mounted on just one node (locally to the node). I understand that ext3/4 isn't a clustered file system thus I'm not attempting to sync the data between the two nodes' local...

Where is the vzdump option? I do not see it in the storage window when adding Directory storage. Or are you referring to the Content type being set to "Backups" to allow for backups?

So is there a way to make all local node storage appear in a 2-node cluster?

Well then, Proxmox (and other virtualization solutions) can assist you in running Windows/Linux as a deployment platform for this software. However, the emulator or SDK software is something that is obtained Cavium. Proxmox can't help you there.

Yes, it will make use of CPU pinning (affinity). It is my understanding that enabling NUMA will change the scheduling algorithm such that it is now aware of NUMA nodes on the underlying physical CPU. Thus will attempt to keep vCPU scheduling within the same NUMA node whenever possible. This...

My intuition tells me that Turboboost would reduce latency (as clock speed is increased). However this may be achieved via clocking down other components so as to not overheat the CPU. Your best bet is to benchmark your application under variety of those settings. CPU design and interaction...

Oh oops. :) In that case for most optimal performance follow whatever design your physical CPU has. Some CPUs have multiple cores sharing single cache (e.g. 2,4,6-core Xeons) in a single NUMA node. While others have multiple groups of NUMA nodes. So it's effectively packaging a 2/3/4-socket...

Assuming the same generation of and same cores in both CPUs, the 1s2c CPU would be marginally faster due to reduced data latency (shorter electrical signal path). Multi-core CPUs typically share their cache between cores this provides further benefit.

I think you misunderstood. What I suggested is Proxmox can run a Windows/Linux VM with dev-toolset such as (cross)compilers for MIPS64. You would then still need to move the binaries to the target devices. Alternatively, I assume, Cavium must provide some kind of an SDK which may include a...

If only they had a NAS box... which then becomes a single point of failure. So another NAS box for replication is needed. Then again a true cluster requires 3 nodes. I'm just trying to make best of what they got. It is a surprise to me. And possibly to others as I search through forums. If...

Here's what I have found and plan on trying with my own private setup over the next few weekends. GlusterFS: http://blog.cyberlynx.eu/2014/proxmox-ve-3-3-2-node-cluster-with-glusterfs/ ZFS with DRBD replication: http://jsmcomputers.biz/wp/?p=559 And of course the ProxmoxVE wiki. However, I...

It's not so much the administration that scares me. I'm already taking steps at looking at ZFS among many other potential solutions. It's rather having to explain(and document) multiple layers of complexity and technologies involved. There are a few volunteers here just like me. I am...

Thank you again for responding! I should've have been more clear in my question. After looking at ZFS, it seems a bit more of an administrative overhead. Concepts like ZFS pools, volumes and something like LVM on top of it all really making my head spin. I'm attempting to simplify system...

Thanks for response, wolfgang. I will look into replication with ZFS. Is there any way possible to append local storage to each machine such that when the two machines are clustered, the storage shows up separately for each machine? Any way to manually move VMs between nodes in this scenario...

It has been a while since I did any embedded development. I think one way ProxmoxVE can assist you in this is running a VM with your choice of (cross)compiler suite for Octeon/MIP64 architecture. Or a VM to run emulator/SDK software provided by Cavium for Octeon/MIPS64 development.

Short story: I got involved with assisting a non-profit. Over past 2 years I've consolidated all of their "servers" (just old workstations all over the office floor) into a single host running ProxmoxVE on an older Dell R200 server that they had. Currently there are 5-7 VMs running their...
