    PXE Boot Proxmox VM

    I am trying the best I can to deploy a sure fire plan: I want to be able to PXE Boot right into a Spice Viewer for a VM. This is very similar to Zero Clients. Which Distro do I use for the PXE Server? PXE Client? I understand the client that uses the Virt-viewer has to have a Desktop GUI...

    container live migration failure w/mysqld

    I can verify that I have the same issue. Even with an offline migration, there appears to be some MySQL corruption upon transfer

    New 3.1 Kernel Does Not Resolve Container Disk I/O Issue

    I have multiple 3.1 nodes connected to NFS shared storage. Works for complete production usage, but containers still do not display Disk I/O graph. This affects my network monitors as well.

    PXE Boot SPICe

    Another Road Block. I tried to connect using a standard Centos VM with GUI Desktop. When I run the script, I get an error about "Cannot determine connection type from URI" Please see attached. I ran the script as is, and replaced the top part with proper password, VMID, node, and proxy. For the...

    PXE Boot SPICe

    Hit another road block. Not as easy to deploy GNOME within a CentOS container. I am trying to find a way to boot desktop PC's from Spice enabled VM's. Is there anything or workflow available to me? Something that is similar to zero-client? This removes the need to have PC's that are capable of...

    PXE Boot SPICe

    I can't figure this out. I have pfSense properly serving DHCP. I have the configuration right for PXE Booting from IP 10.1.12.55 I have a CentOS installation x64 without startX on IP 10.1.12.55 I have installed XINEtd and some other packages to facilitate PXE Booting. I have items properly...

    Couple of starting out questions

    With most Virtualization Environments, the host is using a full virtualization of the OS, whereas OpenVZ is more like a shared Virtualization environment. At least, that's my understanding. When the templates were created, they were created without the tty edit that's needed for console. This...

    mdadm RAID support

    It wouldn't apply. My issue was RAID for OS only. You need RAID for operations. I'm not sure what you could do, other than a different storage solution attached to Proxmox. In my opinion, all hardware solutions are subpar in comparison to NFS or connected storage. Just my experience (Using bth...

    [SOLVED] Install ProxMox On debian 64bit

    Go to bios, for AMD it should say something like Virtualization Technology [Enabled-Disable] Somewhere under CPU configurations

    mdadm RAID support

    If I were you, I would go the route suggested to me. Use something like rdiff or another program script, and mirror the two drives in cron. I have yet to receive the advise on the best to use, but this seems to be the safest...However, everything I do is on shared NFS.

    Shutdown a 3 nodes cluster - correct procedure

    This will probably get moved, but Heaven should be last thing to shutdown. That is the ultimate Battery Backup... what's after heaven?? so Galaxy should move to 9th Proxmox team, can you sticky the proper procedure with "Galaxy" as 9th?

    Proxmox Templates Deletion

    If you have already restored the VM's, and you don't need a base to return to, then you can remove the BACKUPS. Calling them templates is what is confusing (I think).

    Shutdown a 3 nodes cluster - correct procedure

    I'm not 100% that is true, but I believe if you do the opposite of how you set up, you should have a pretty good shutdown workflow. 1st --> Last Node Added to the cluster 2nd --> Next to last node added to the cluster 3rd --> Node that cluster was created 4th --> Shared storage Server 5th -->...

    Hardware-Requirements: 16GB RAM not enough?

    Sounds like it's I/O related. I would benchmark your disk reads and writes while under operation.

    mdadm RAID support

    No official support. Meaning if you do this installation, run into a problem, then get paid support from the Proxmox Team, I don't believe they will honor it. I do think they will do what they can to help, but as a guarantee, I don't think they will GUARANTEE a working Virtual Host after you...

    Shutdown a 3 nodes cluster - correct procedure

    Shutdown your 3rd Node, 2nd Node, Primary Node (Cluster Host), Shared Storage. This is how I have things setup when my UPS hits 15% Battery Left. Now to figure out how to get this Server 2012 to shutdown effectively!...

    What shared storage for CT (OpenVZ)

    OmniOS/Napp-IT has worked wonders for me. The only issues everyone is running into with ZFS NFS is the single point of failure, or the amount of downtime without ZFS HA.

    You do not have a valid subscription for this server

    They are setting a foundation for future Enterprises, and to be honest, it's necessary. The company I work for is considering Proxmox as a Virtual Host, but wouldn't consider it without a paid support and detailed outline of limitations and restrictions. It's a matter of professionalism and a...

    vm grayed ...

    How are you adding the NFS? When you input the IP, the path should populate with the dropdown. DO NOT type in your own path. Also, it is best practice to have separate backup Datasets apart from your images and containers. In ZFS, you should have at least two datasets, one for backups and one...

    vm grayed ...

    Can you perform some network benchmark tests to the NFS and from the NFS? Also, I know that someone posted some NFS tuning tools such as using tcp and nfsv3 for connection protocols. I'll look for the post, and post the link here. As of right now, I'm not sure why it takes so long. To get rid of...
