    Network Raid

    Why don't you just put a disk image on each NSF volume - then install your machine in it - with software rare as if you had two hard drives? Should work! Rob Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Installing R1Soft CDP 3.0 Agent into Proxmox

    I have used it allot. Good product bar one issue. Every time proxmox goes up a revision - it breaks the the Cdp system. Current state of play is that CDP3 and proxmox 1.9 do not work with each other! I have now scrapped Cdp server and setup backups using bacula with scripts to do an lvm...

    OpenVZ memory sharing

    An openvz machine will normally use less ram than you realise. This is because the machine is using space only for the program's that are running. No ram for caching and buffers (this is done by the host) No ram for base OS and kernel Makes it quite lightweight! Sent from my iPhone using...

    WinXP + virtio + proxmox 1.9 -> crash

    I have the same issue with Windows 2003 guests. Odd things I have noted are: - machines do not boot with virtio. Had to change to IDE - network does not work with virtio drivers No amount of upgrading the drivers for virtio workls - nothing! So.. here is an odd one. I rebuilt a machine...

    Traffic shaping for multiple VMs

    Why don't you do this on the router? This is a far better place for shaping traffic? Rob Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    VM with two network addresses

    You can do this if you use a bridged interface. The vm will get an eth0 device that you then configure to work in a normal 'real machine' fashion. So... ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1. Etc... Rob Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    NFS Store.. QCOW or RAW

    Hello, Just wondering if anyone has real world experiences on the performance difference between qcow2 and raw when hosted on an NFS server. Typically, I would think 'raw' would be the fastest format all round. However... is there a benifit on nfs in using the compresses qcow format -...

    Virtualised Proxmox

    I am not sure if this has been discussed before - but thought I would mention it as a potential 'solution' in some environments. The one issue I have always had with OpenVZ containers is the fact that I have to use local storage. As a business I am pushing constantly to use the SAN, yet find...

    vlan howto

    Hi I just re-read the commands you typed and realised that you actually edited the interfaces file. Of course it would then survive the reboot :-) I think thi is a workable solution. Now just to wait for the chaps at proxmox to build this all into the web interface! From what I can see of...

    vlan howto

    Hello, I will do some testing... My gut feeling is that this will not survive a reboot without applying the config to the interfaces file manually. ... As a thought. This shoud be easy to build into the inteface, without needing a reboot. Infact... pretty much essential! What also makes...

    vlan howto

    Hello, I take it you also duplicated the configuration via the proxmox interface to ensure it worked after reboot? Rob

    vlan howto

    Ok... so to clarify... if we create a new bridge port... assign eth0.10 to br1... on the reboot it will create the vlan? Rob

    vlan howto

    Well... I get the fact that you can bridge devices to vlan interfaces... e.g. br1 => bridge too => eth0.10 But.. from what I can see, I have to enable the vlans by manually editing /etc/sysconfig/network ? (or have I missed something) Just seems to me... that we should be able to assign...

    vlan howto

    Are there any plans to enable this sort of functionality in the web interface? From an ISP point of view this is a killer feature... Essentially you could setup a load of proxmox servers - each proxmox host having a 0-4096 vlans assigned to it. Each client could then effectively have their...

    Proxmox on an Intel Atom

    Hello, I am so blown away by this that I have to share it with you... I had a spare Intel Atom system floating around my office. A very simple box based on this board: http://www.itx-warehouse.co.uk/Product.aspx?ProductID=912 Well... I had a suspicion that the Atom was 64bit capable and...
