    +1 napp-it "all-in-one" on proxmox would make my no.1 reference setup.

    PCI / PCIe passthrough

    ...that's very interesting. What kernel are you running as of today? Hmm, ok..is this all there is to it, that makes the pastrough config stick upon reboot? What about the unbind/bind of the pci/pci-stub drivers, you mentioned in your second post? Is this still needed? (I am assuming this...

    Proxmox VE 2.0 beta released!

    tom, dietmar, ...thanks for the info regarding LXC...too bad IMHO, but I understand that for the majority of UC OpenVZ is still a better solution.

    Proxmox VE 2.0 beta released!

    Hi Proxmox Team, as I recall from previous announcements, there was a LXC feature for V2.x floating around somewhere. This seems to have dropped from the roadmap, listed above. I'd appreciate if someone from the team could clarify things a bit. My UC in this is, that AFAIK a LXC, compared to...

    How to pass removable USB or eSata devices from host to KVM

    ...the command is simple, because it is statically changing the VM config. That'll be "qm set <vmid> virtio|scsi|ide<no> </dev/disk/by-?????/<your-drive>" or something like that. But since what you describe is hot-plugging the device t the VM...this setup will not help you, won't it? Maybe you...

    What hardware for PCI passthrough?

    ...I have no experience that this will work with KVM and ProxMox in particular, but what you'll need is a motherboard AND a CPU with support for virtual-I/O (i.e Intel vt-d). Under VMWare ESXi, the feature "vmdirectpath" relies on it as well. There's a HCL available for this product. I...

    How to pass removable USB or eSata devices from host to KVM

    ...udev will create/maintainb symlinks for your disk-device under /dev/disk/<...> once you plug it in or out. But it will not create a symlink for your USB device (-port), which is a fixed pci address anyway. I don't quite get if hot-plugging on the KVM-VM side will be required in your usecase...

    Boot client from USB Key help with how to

    ...try WinImage, here: http://www.winimage.com/winimage.htm This tool is able to convert a USB FS into a vmdk disk. Shareware, fully functional 30-days trial, I think.

    Suggestion: ISO image upload

    ...that explains your case better, thanks. This feature would also allow for downloading larger ISOs, beyond the current restrictions of the web-upload UI. ...since I use webmin for all my VMs, I had no reason not to deploy it to the host as well...running of debian anyways..

    Suggestion: ISO image upload

    ..I don't quite get your UseCase, sorry. In a situation where a hotel FW is blocking shh access to your host....but access to the proxmox UI via HTTP is possible in the same case ...that would mean you did open it to the public, yes??...without the help of a VPN in-between?!?...that means...

    processors

    ...XPHome edition for example is limited to 1 socket and 2 cores, is it not? Which version are you using? ...there are not that many programs that can make use of more that a single core at a time. Some video transcoding programs or other number-crunching applications can actually do....so I...

    proxmox on Intel S5000VSASASR LSI M1064E RAID

    one option would be, of course, to install PVE on top of debian lenny. - install debian lenny on a controller/disk, lenny would recognize - get the drivers for your motherboard from LSI. AFAIK each LSI linux driver set comes with the same source-tree. It can be easily installed via DKMS. So...

    VNC and howto switch CLI login-screens with ALT-Fx for kvm-linux VMs.

    Okay, this might be a noop question but my google-fu seems not strong enough for this. When installing a linux distro, that only comes with a CLI (no GUI, no X) in a KVM VM... ...how can I use the ALT-Fx switch inside the embedded vnc connection (that is web-vnc session started from proxmox...

    1 Controller 2 Nodes = One Large VM?

    I don't think that a "classic" cloud infrastructure as of today can deliver what you want. If you have distributed resources in your cloud, you can however make them work to deliver on the same goal, like combining their powers to find a solution to a computational challenge. See here...

    add a physical drive as a drive in virtual machine

    1) No need to edit it manually. Just use the "qm set" command. The manpage of qm is your friend ;) 2) you can pass on a partition (like /dev/sda1, which inside the vm would be treated as a whole disk) or you can pass a whole disk (like /dev/sda). The VM inside would then see the already...
