    High availability without SAN

    Hi, I have been using proxmox 1.9 + drbd for a cluster (no HA) and it works very well. Now I need to deploy proxmox on a new cluster and proxmox 1.9 is not supported. However I also feel that I don't need HA: I prefer to migrate/start/stop the VMs manually if a node fails. e100, could you...

    Anyone running Proxmox VE 1.9 on debian 6?

    ok we are also thinking of buying commercial support to get 2.2 running. How much would it cost us for our 2-nodes cluster? I ran this: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "physical id" | sort | uniq | wc -l and get result 1, does it mean 1 node = 1 cpu socket? So the subscription would be 120*2 = 240...

    Anyone running Proxmox VE 1.9 on debian 6?

    Hi, I am aware that Proxmox 1.9 is no longer supported, the Proxmox team declared end-of-life for 1.9 and encourages everyone to upgrade to Proxmox 2. However I wonder if anyone here is using Proxmox 1.9 on debian 6; if yes could you please share how you got it running? Here are some relevant...

    Checklist/requirements for Proxmox VE cluster installation?

    Hi, is there something like a checklist for Proxmox VE cluster installation? Since it's quite a complex system, getting the basic things done properly will reduce the chance that something goes wrong. For example, a common mistake is not to have /etc/hosts properly configured. I did this...

    Which PVE kernel is most stable?

    does it mean that 2.6.32 is more stable than 2.6.18? Or they both are stable, but 2.6.32 has more features and/or better performance (given that my hardware is well supported by 2.6.18)? 2.6.18 RHEL5/Centos5 kernel has a very good reputation with stability, since Redhat is behind that, and...

    Which PVE kernel is most stable?

    many thanks for your reply, very much appreciated. If I need kvm only, and my primary concern is stability, which kernel do you recommend? 2.6.18 or 2.6.32?

    Which PVE kernel is most stable?

    Hi, from http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_VE_Kernel and relevant posts in the forum, I have the feeling is that 2.6.18 is the most stable. Is that true? If yes, why 2.6.32 is installed as default for PVE 1.7? Is kvm support in pve-2.6.18 kernel as good as in the 2.6.18 branch for...

    Cannot create LVM Group with Network Backing (/usr/bin/file failed with exit code 1)

    Hi, I did the following steps: - install proxmox VE from proxmox VE 1.6 CD on a new machine - setup iscsi & multipath for access to a SAN (a Dell MD3000i if that matters) - follow precisely this guide: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage_Model#LVM_Groups_with_Network_Backing - I could...
