The wiki has just been updated to include how to convert a Windows server to KVM using the VMware vCenter converter http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migration_of_servers_to_Proxmox_VE#Physical_.28running.29_Windows_server_to_Proxmox_VE_.28KVM.29_using_VMware_Converter

Hi, I've installed blackberry enterprise server express on a Windows KVM. From what I understand, I need to connect the blackberry to the server for the initial configuration. I've tried both RDP passthrough and connected the blackberry to my proxmox server and used usb passthrough to the KVM...

I just tested this and I was unable to use the Windows 8 DVD to install. It showed the initial loading screen (back screen with the blue windows logo) and just sat there. I had left it for about 10 minutes. I changed it to the Windows 8 ISO file and it booted up right away. I'm not sure why...

I noticed the exact same thing two days ago. It had been almost a month since I had last logged in so I don't know when the issue actually started. I only have local storage configured. I rebooted the server and everything came back properly.

I'm using a USB hard drive as a backup target. I realized today that the disk is spinning all day even though the backups only run at night. Is there a way to have the disk 'sleep' during the day and only turn on at night for the backups? I'm going to test it but one site suggested adding...

I'm not sure about passing a video card through to a VM but here is the guide for installing proxmox on debian http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Squeeze

I always use SCP if the ISO or backup file it over 4gb. I find they often fail on any browser. For ISO files, the directory is /var/lib/vz/template/iso/ For backups, the directory is /var/lib/vz/dump/

I've had P2V success using the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client. It's a free tool. It runs on the server and creates an image of the system. Once it's complete, you move the .vmdk file to Proxmox and use the command qemu-img convert -f vmdk 'image-name'.vmdk -O qcow2 'image-name'.qcow2...

You do have a power cable going to the USB3 card correct?

Hope this helps!

I'm not using USB passthrough with my USB 3 card. I'm using it to mount an external hard drive and using it as a backup target for virtual hosts.

Did you manage to find a way to get SCSI passthrough working with Proxmox 2.x?

Did this method work with your HP DL360?

I've had blue screens when backing up Windows Server 2008 R2. In my experience, it was caused by the proxmox system not having enough memory. The server had 8GB total memory and two KVMs had 4GB each. If I reduced each VM to 3.5GB, backups ran fine. Proxmox didn't reboot but when I logged into...

It's recommended to do a clean install when going from 1.x to 2.x. Here are the steps that I take: - stop the virtual machines - run a full backup - move the backup files to an external hard drive or another server - Do a clean install of the latest proxmox - Move the backup files back to the...

I did run the mergeide.reg. I'll try again this weekend.

The server I'm trying to migrate is using an HP E200i raid controller in a raid 5 configuration. Many sites seem to put the blame on going from SCSI or RAID to IDE and the boot sector isn't where it should be. I'll find time to try Clonezilla again. The server stores our users home directory...

I have the same problem. I'm trying to migrate Windows server 2003 R2 using selfimage and I get the same "Error loading operating system" error. I've tried all of the methods from this proxmox wiki with no luck. I'm trying to migrate from an HP ProLiant ML350 G5 using hardware RAID 5.

I get the same error using selfimage on Server 2003 R2 from an HP ProLiant ML350 G5. I've tried all of the suggested migration methods from this proxmox wiki. I'd really like to get this server migrated to virtual.

I wanted to update this. I bought a StarTech 2 Port SuperSpeed USB 3.0 PCI Express Card with SATA Power (Part # PEXUSB3S22) and it worked right away with Proxmox 2.1. I have a USB 3 external drive attached and set KVMs to backup to it using LZO compression. I get an average of 60MiB/s. Update...
