    Migrating between v1.9 and v.2.0 Proxmox VE hosts

    We are looking to install a remote server at a secondary location to allow us to create a Proxmox VE cluster and migrate VMs from one PM box to the other as a fallback solution. However it is likely that the versions of PM on each data center will be different. Will migration of OpenVZ and/or...

    Looking for best practice: VMWare ESXi VM conversion to Proxmox

    Oh, so you are saying I should use KVM for any Linux VMWare ESXi servers, rather than OpenVZ? Myles

    Looking for best practice: VMWare ESXi VM conversion to Proxmox

    That's encouraging. OK, I'll try the VM -> OpenVZ container instructions on one of the VMs and see how that goes. Once I get this working on a couple, I'll write up a decent step by step 'noob' instruction page and post back here on it. Myles

    Looking for best practice: VMWare ESXi VM conversion to Proxmox

    Yes, I read that. But it doesn't refer to moving a Linux server on VMWare ESXi to Proxmox. Plenty of reference to Windows, but not all of us are M$ fanboys. Myles

    Looking for best practice: VMWare ESXi VM conversion to Proxmox

    As many here would be no doubt aware, a few weeks ago VMWare released their vSphere 5 product line and with it changed the licensing and specs of what their free ESXi Hypervisor product would allow. Initially they restricted the entire Hypervisor to 8GB RAM Max per CPU on the host, and then due...

    Noob question: How to protect Proxmox Host from specific NIC access

    I think I might have found the secret here, which I completely didn't realize. I'm just testing this out, so I'm hopeful I'm on the right path. If I setup Proxmox with a bridged network to my Private LAN, I can access the web console through that network just fine. When I setup a 2nd NIC...

    Noob question: How to protect Proxmox Host from specific NIC access

    Firstly, many thanks to all the great folk behind this incredible piece of tech. I'm migrating from VMWare ESXi to Proxmox and so far its been a relatively painless experience. I do have one question (more for clarification). I have a server that I will be colocating it at our data center...

    Hardware recommendation needed - Used/Surplus Dell 1U

    We are looking to purchase a 64 bit 1U Dell server to become a standard machine for Proxmox hosting. This hardware will work with our existing SAN (iSCSI) and as we typically need to get about 5 of these units, we would prefer to get ex-surplus hardware (ie. not current models) due to budgets...

    Installing VM from ISO in OpenVZ?

    I have a Dell SC1425 server which doesn't support VT. I've installed Proxmox VE on it without a problem, and now am trying to install VMs. When I go to create a VM in Proxmox, it warns me that the computer doesn't support VT and therefore won't let me use KVM. I can install VMs from the...

    Hardware RAID card compatibility

    I'm really open on that. Either would be fine. I'm thinking that OpenVZ is probably better suited for CentOS from what I've read. I checked OpenVZ's hardware compatibility, and it looks like its fine with the LSI RAID cards we are looking at. We have an iSCSI based SAN in our main data...

    Hardware RAID card compatibility

    Hi there, first post on these forums, so please be kind.... :D We are about to begin testing Proxmox VE as an alternative to VMWare ESXi for colocated servers. All of our current colo servers are running VMWare ESXi 3.5 or 4.1 and working fine. But I'm looking to send some boxes to a remote...
