    fail upgrade 1.9 to 2.1: similar situation

    Ok, bit the bullet, installed a new Debian Squeeze, then proxmox. Added the existing LVM volume group as storage, recreated /etc/network/interfaces with my bridge settings etc. Now fiddling with machine config creation/parameters to see if I can get back my VMs, otherwise restore from backup. So...

    fail upgrade 1.9 to 2.1: similar situation

    Hi all, Experiencing similar problems to the other poster that tried to upgrade his custom 1.9 to 2.1 Upgrading an original Debian+later proxmox install from 1.9 to 2.0 Tried upgrade script, didn't work (not surprised, it only supports plain vanilla installs). Removed some checks, didn't work...

    Adding Multiple Physical Disks to VM

    You're right. However, MOST filesystems are not designed for such a scenarion ;) (well at least ext2/3/4, NTFS, FAT...) In a home machine, I have a similar setup: proxmox physical host with a number of VMs. One VM is FreeNAS; it also has access to some physical disks. These are the lines in...

    Proxmox with Freenas ZFS RAIDZ

    Slopes, Good post with which I mostly agree: mirroring is not backup. However, as you also point out, it can mitigate the effects of (single) disk failure). Edit: realized the thread was about ZFS; the stuff below will be a bit off-topic as I'm not using ZFS... In my situation, I'm glad to...

    Proxmox with Freenas ZFS RAIDZ

    I've got a box that I use for storage and also for virtualised servers. I installed proxmox on one HDD, then installed a FreeNAS VM in KVM. I have 2 more disks that I didn't assign to proxmox but left as is; I configured the FreeNAS VM in Proxmox to use them. Yes, FreeNAS is virtualised which...

    VLC i think Error

    Try telnetting to the port (i.e. telnet <proxmoxhost> 5900) to see if the vnc proxy/netcat is actually running. Might be a problem at the proxmox end, network issues, etc. Of course, you could also trie with Internet Explorer... You could also try to run the netcat/vncproxy command manually on...

    What is the best firewall for proxmox??

    Agree with Rob that both are fine. pfsense is easy to set up using the web interface. Vyatta offers a lot of options as well; the free version only has a CLI, no web interface. Both work nicely in a dedicated VM. I initially chose Vyatta because it supports the virtio network card, now I just...

    qemu vm won't boot after a migrate, maybe a bug or a missing CD iso ?

    Thanks for making it more visible in 2. I was just bitten by this again (had deleted cd the vm boots with), and was already grumbling & trying to troubleshoot when I remembered I had seen this before.

    Backup of VM failed (with exit code 5)

    Hi, man updatedb.conf suggests you can use PRUNEPATHS to EXCLUDE certain directories, so you might add /mnt to that line: PRUNEPATHS A whitespace-separated list of path names of directories which should not be scanned by updatedb(8).

    View Monitoring Port Session in a virtual system

    Don't suppose this is supported or whether it works but you might try something similar to what I did: Situation: WAN => eth0 card => proxmox host => eth1 card => LAN switch I tried to prevent proxmox from listening on the eth0 interface and managed by not giving it or the vmbr0 bridge any...
