Hi, Has anyone have success installing virtio balloon drivers in windows 2003 guest? I set up the machine according to this article http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Dynamic_Memory_Management#Enable_Auto-Ballooning_on_Windows_2003_.2F_Windows_Xp I first tried installing the balloon driver using the...

Yes, the reason was in time differerence between hosts. I had this problem a long time. Now, after I corrected the time on my hosts and set up ntp, it is finally working. Strange that the time difference (about 5 minutes) was no problem when I created the cluster.

Yes, that helped! The thread can be closed.

So KVM64 is now the recommended cpu type for the VM? Should I change the cpu type on my VMs from qemu64 to this? I think this can cause activation issues on windows VMs...

I tried adding the option "args: -cpu host" to the VM config It had no effect. I tried to rate the VM with its built-in benchmark tool (windows 7 rating) It gave 4.6 scores for the CPU. I think it is also not a very good result for the 4 core VM (2 cpu x 2 core)

I tried this (I think you meant the same) http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Allow_Guests_Access_to_Host_CPU I added "args: -cpu host" to the VM config. Then stopped and started the VM again It had no effect. - - - Updated - - - I tried to rate the windows 7 guest with its own benchmark. It...

Hello, How can I correctly check KVM guests' cpu performance in the proxmox environment? I suspect that my VM's (windows guests) have much lower cpu performance than identical physical machines. I measured the cpu performance with the built-in benchmark tool of 7zip archiver (one thread). The...

I installed a clean Proxmox VE 2.2 and upgraded it to 2.3 through pvetest repository. The situation is the same. During backup of a Windows KVM guest there is a lot of output to syslog similar to kernel panics but the backup continues running and the the progress is shown correct. It finished...

I updated the firmware on this blade to the latest if you mean this.

No, the G6 server now shows the same output in the syslog. But it's working. I'll try with clean installation.

I have been testing the new system for two hours now. The new features are very interesting. I've tested the backup-restore feature on a linux kvm-guest. The backup runs and shows its progress in percent. Very convenient, really. The restore speed is really amazing, the 1.49 GB KVM .tgz backup...

The server seems to be stable now. It has been running for 2 hours now and I don't see any panic messages in the syslog. Looks very good. And the new features are very-very interesting.

I did all the steps described in previous post and it helped... Partly. The G6 Blade server is now functioning (I didn't try to add it to my cluster. I want to test its stability). While I was testing the server I noticed that the syslog shows the same output as it was during kernel panic...

With Windows 2008R2 installation it seems really working. As for Windows 2003R2 installation it behaves very interesting. I did all the changes mentioned in this post. Now I press "Shutdown" button in the main gui without opening the VM console and wait 5 minutes. After I see that the VM is...

So will I :-)

This solution was already mentioned in some previous posts. It helped partly (with this setting the Windows VM can be shutdown from the console window using the "shutdown" button). What did help (in 70% cases) is the solution suggested by ivan901 in this post. With this setting the VM can be...

I see. Thank you.

Hi, the question is not very critical but interesting for me. I have planned the backup of some KVM VM's on a proxmox ve 2.2 server. Backup mode is snapshot (VM's reside on LVM). The backups are OK but two of the machines (the same ones) are backed up with suspend. I see in the backup log the...

I have the same problem. Posted it already here: http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/11976-KVM-guest-console-won-t-open-when-opened-from-the-different-node But a related question arose: Should their names be resolvable via DNS or /etc/hosts as well? I can ssh from one node to another using their IP...

Hi, I've got exactly the same problem :-) I posted already in the topic http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/11870-Updates-for-Proxmox-VE-2-2: "Problem server is HP ProLiant BL460c G6 Other (working) servers in the cluster are: 1) HP ProLiant BL620c G7 2) HP ProLiant BL460c G7" I hope that I...
