    Is it safe to use wfc-timeout in DRBD configuration?

    Today's story I have forgotten to set wfc-timeout to zero and we have lost two domain controllers. What exactly has happened. There are two servers are node1 and node2. Our DCs are on node1. VMs' images are on a dual-primary DRBD. There was a planned power cut: 1) we have shut-downed our...

    Virtual machines don't start if no qourum

    I can't remember user interaction. Problem is that if I set CMAN_QUORUM_TIMEOUT, for example, 600 seconds I can't force it not to wait interactively.

    Virtual machines don't start if no qourum

    > You can try to start all three servers at the same time. Sometimes this is not an option. What about implementing something similar to 'wfc-timeout' in DRBD config, let's say quorum timeout, and it would work in the following way: it waits for quorum for NN seconds during boot process and asks...

    Virtual machines don't start if no qourum

    Three Proxmox VE 2.2 servers in a cluster. If I start first server and wait some time it starts but no VMs started. As I understood from https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=332 this is a feature and not a bug. But VMs of that first server still don't start when I start the rest of...

    VM's on proxmox won't shutdown?

    I have just installed Windows 2008 R2 SP1, so it's clear installation. 1. It shuts down well if console is open (read as "monitor is on") and doesn't work if console is being closed for more than 10 minutes. 2. If I just disalbe "automatic switching monitor off" than a virtual machine can be...

    Updating Proxmox node NIC drivers

    You should be careful and know what you are doing because if you install a driver manually from sources kernel update is going to break this driver installation. You will have to rebuild driver manually again and again.

    Stability VS Features

    I'm not against you, I'm totally in, I would be happy if my company pays for open source solution and not for proprietary VMware. First I need to convince our top IT managers we can rely on that software and than I can try to motivate them to integrate it widely. I have already done it with...

    Help with migration to ProxMox 2.2

    To be sure not to cut the end of the last partition I usually go the following way: 1. Resize all of partitions and move then at the beginning. 2. Make sure there are no large whitespaces between partitions (couple of Megabytes is okay). 3. Resize LVM partition to summary size of on partitions...

    Stability VS Features

    Dear Proxmox Team, Why do we love Debian? Why do we love Ubuntu Server? It is simple: we can do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" everyday without any impact. We can even do it automatically, no, I do not recommend to do it and I just would like to point that it is possible...

    [CLARIFIED] Get rid of tar backup? Why?

    Re: Get rid if tar backup? Why? Sure, I know but when something bad (that prevent starting a cluster) happen then I can't access /etc/pve either. And it's not possible to just mount /../sqlite3.db to /../pvetmp. And at this time I have to start thinking about reinstalling cluster from zero and...
