It seems that 4 out of the 5 qemu VMs crash approx 50% of the way through the first vm snapshot backup. Not sure why. Any ideas? Something to do with the fact that the 'discs' were created under 3.1 and now are running under 3.4?

Ok, did the apt-get udpate and rebooted. Will see how it goes tonight.

I have a fresh install of proxmox 3.4 (see version info below). Previous server was version 3.1 and the backup method we were using was working. We do a snapshot mode vzdump Mon-Thurs as follows: vzdump --mode snapshot --compress gzip --storage drive2_backups --maxfiles 1 --mailto...

Excellent - that seems to have done it. I did 'apt-get upgrade' instead of 'apt-get dist-upgrade'. My bad. Thanks Tom!

Did an upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3 and now get the following error from the backup/dump: Undefined subroutine &PVE::Storage::volume_is_base called at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/QemuServer.pm line 4487 Backup: vzdump --quiet --mode snapshot --compress gzip --storage drive2_backup --maxfiles 1 --mailto...

Also experienced pvestatd not running today. Looked at syslog and it crashed approx 2 hours into the backup last night. We are also running an adaptec raid controller (different model): Not saying that has anything to do w/ this. Version 2.2 totally up to date (just did an apt-get update...

Great thanks!

Does this apply to startall as well? When I try startall on a newly installed 2.2 system I get an unknown command error.

So, just to be clear, my second/additional hdd must be a logical volume with an ext3 (or whatever fs), not just an ext3 filesystem. Correct?

But the snapshots are NOT on a LV. They are just on an ext3 disk. All snapshots are stored to the same place. Do the guests have to run on an LV?

Not sure I follow. The snapshots have to be created/stored on a drive that is an LV? If so, why do the two guests who are running on the main hdd not have issues when storing to the same location?

/mnt/drive2 is a mounted ext3 filesystem. Can the vm storage and the dump storage not be on the same filesystem?

I have a system running version 1.9 that has two drives. The main drive w/ the OS has two guests and they backup fine (storage for dumps is setup on second drive). However, the VMs running on the second drive cannot dump a snapshot, and get a mode failure - unable to detect lvm volume group...

Hi Trying to shutdown my guests with the 'qm shutdown <vmid>' command. On my CentOS 5 guest it just prompts with a GUI box with the question 'Are you sure you want to log out?'. Running proxmox verison 1.9. ACPID is installed and service is running. Guest is converted from vmware server...

This is documented elsewhere, but I thought I would provide all the steps that I did so it was in one place. How to Configure postfix to relay mail using your ISPs server Create a text file as follows: # P=/etc/postfix/password # vi $P The format of the client password file is as follows...

dietmar Ok. So I think I am going in the right direction. I have setup postfix based on http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/postfix-smtp-authentication-for-mail-servers/ with one modification, setting my ISPs port in relayhost. However, since I am not running a FQDN, I am getting the following...

Thanks for the reply. This is unfamiliar territory for me - can I use my ISP's SMTP server? I assume this would all be manual setup regardless. Do I have to setup sendmail to do this - i.e. is proxmox using sendmail?
