    Again Problems with Supermicro Board and Intel I350 NIC

    I had the same issue with a SuperMicro A1SRM-2758F, you need to look at specifically which MAC addresses and which ports are which, because its a little confusing at first. LAN1(eth0) and LAN2(eth1) are next to each other on the bottom on my board, then LAN3(eth2) and LAN 4(eth3) are the top 2...

    [SOLVED] Dedicating a NIC to a VM (or any alternative way of achieving an equivalent result)

    Re: Dedicating a NIC to a VM (or any alternative way of achieving an equivalent resul You can create a bridge on the ProxMox VE host, like, vmbr1, assign eth1 as a bridged port, but, do not assign an IP-address to it. Next, in your VM assign the interface to vmbr1 and within the VM configre...

    Proxmox File Server - Attach existing drive, reallocate storage or ???

    No, the partitioned RAID-5 device is handed over as a 'raw' device to the KVM (SCSI disk). Within the KVM it is handled as "/dev/sda" The device is then formatted within the KVM as a large single disk, (16.5 TB) and formatted XFS. The RAID-5 disk as seen on the ProxMox host : sd 16:0:0:0...

    Proxmox File Server - Attach existing drive, reallocate storage or ???

    I'm running a fileserver in a KVM , using a RAID-5 device which is configured as a SCSI device to the KVM. scsi0: /dev/sdc1 (partitioned RAID5 device) It works fantastically, I get 105 to 110 MBytes/s with it, in both up and down link to the KVM based fileserver (CentOS 6.5). Hardware has...

    Windows 2008 R2 can no longer install from DVD?

    Bad Network Performance for KVM Guests

    That is some strange thing. On my simple Core i5 based ProxMox VE server, transfer rates are at near wirespeed, 115 MB/s to and from a Windows 7 Based workstation. I remember going from an old Linux Samba2 based config to this new Samba 3 based config. the tuning parameter that really helped...

    HA cluster problem VM migration

    I had allmost the same issue before, I came down to the CDROM image not being available on the second node local storage iso directory. Either synching up the iso storage directory or removing the cdrom image from the VM storage (not needed anymore since the OS is already installed anyway) fixed...

    Re: Using clvmd in KVMs disrupts ProxMox frontend Storage view Udo, I now created a partition in my KVM (v)hdd, as /dev/vdb1 , but, unfortunately, it didn't help. Then I thought, wait a second, I didn't remove the vdisks so the LVM meta data is still on there.... I removed and recreated the...

    SOLVED: Using clvmd in KVMs disrupts ProxMox frontend Storage view

    Re: Using clvmd in KVMs disrupts ProxMox frontend Storage view Udo, Thanks for your reply. Indeed I'm using a cLVM on the raw (with DRBD replication) (v)hdd. So, basically, if I create a partition, /dev/vhb1 and use that as my DRBD0 device inside my VM's, create the cLVM ontop of the DRBD0...

    SOLVED: Using clvmd in KVMs disrupts ProxMox frontend Storage view

    First off, lets talk about what I'm doing. Running 2 DELL M610 blades as a ProxMox VE 2.1 cluster with iSCSI shared storage + a quorum disk for HA. I've created two KVM's with CentOS, and a DRBD replicated storage with GFS2 + RedHat/CentOS cluster inside those KVM's. This is to replicate in...

    single host, many drives, advice..?

    To get a feel for ProxMox I installed it on my homeserver and its running fabulously. Its a quadCore Q9550 with 8GB ram, a HighPoint RR3520 (Intel IOP-based) 8port SATA-RAID controller, an Intel 2 port Gbit/s LAN adapter . Its currently running 5 Linux KVM's ( 1x webserver (multi-site, both...

    Is it possible to install Poxmox 2.0 with xfs ?

    I know its not very important, but, ext3/4 even with 'delayed allocation' takes many minutes just to create the filesystem, while XFS, independent of size takes seconds to create. Me, I've been using XFS on Linux since 2.4 kernel, it has never let me down. And with a little tuning, has always...

    Subnetting network guests? diasble their ability to view the network.

    You can create a new virtual bridge, which isn't coupled to the ethernet network. Create new bridge (vmbr1) and instead of coupling a member port to it, just create the bridge device. Next, create your VM's and couple them to the new bridge (vmbr1). This network will then only exist within the...
