    Proxmox Templates 32.bit

    Storage is not only resource involved. IIRC 64 bit programs take up more memory because they use 64 bit registers instead of 32 bit ones for their variables. And as for "fit as many VEs on a server as possible.": depends on what you mean by possible. I'm sure Chris meant "possible in the sense...

    Proxmox2 node requiremt for asterisk

    AFAIU, you just need to make sure the container has enough resources (isn't squeezed by other processes, has enough memory etc). If not, I'd suggest you look in openvz or asterisk sites/resources, as this is not proxmox specific and probably too niche... I'm running asterisk on a kvm instance...

    Import or convert Virtualbox image to Proxmox

    You may also be able to just convert the disk image(s), either using Virtualbox tools or qemu (see the VMWare section on the wiki)

    File Server setup

    Problem following development instructions: building libqb fails

    @snowman: thanks. Tried running make as root (in the normal user's directory). Still test failures. Increased VM memory from 512 to 2048 and retried. Same problem. I guess I'll just wait for the Proxmox team to upgrade libqb ;)

    Microsoft Active Directory on Proxmox

    @mac: you recommend E1000 NICs - have you had problems with virtio NICs? No I wouldn't think so ;) The points mentioned in that link are very valid (clock sync etc) but fairly obvious to people who know virtualisation and AD (not claiming I'm one though). Perhaps that IT provider lacks some...

    Microsoft Active Directory on Proxmox

    I suppose the obvious problem is if you virtualize all DCs for one AD on the same physical server without failover=>single point of failure. I also suspect there are many people running virtualized DCs; IIRC, MS even encourages that in their newest Windows 2012 servers.... so I'd love to see...

    Gaming optimized Proxmox Kernel?

    I would also look into optimization of IO related tasks (i.e. MySQL db access) before trying to optimize the kernel. E.g. having multiple VMs accessing a single disk as each tries to access a database seems like a much bigger target for optimization... Likewise for mysql db type, memory caching...

    New Proxmox User: Feedback

    Agreed with Java applets often being frowned upon from a security perspective due to frequent security issues with Java and live exploitation on web sites. The problem is that there are now 2 easy alternatives for console access in Proxmox: 1. Java applet. As said, not everybody has Java...

    Initial Questions

    AFAIU there are no KVM OS templates supplied with Proxmox; there was a recent thread about this.

    AVM ISDN USB not dialing on SBS 2003

    No, I think you're right: passthrough would be the correct term; I just didn't find that wiki page. The fact that the dongle works makes it a bit more depressing - as you now have proven the passthrough mechanism in general works for your setup... so the problem lies with the ISDN adapter. No...

    AVM ISDN USB not dialing on SBS 2003

    How exactly have you performed the pass through? A quick look through the proxmox wiki shows no info on passing through USB devices to KVM... No idea on what to do exactly except go through the event log (eventvwr.msc) on the Windows side and /var/log/syslog etc on the Proxmox side.
