TBH, I do not how to go about this. This is a Windows VM fresh install, on a fresh install of PVE 3.1. Followed the settings wizard closely. I just elected to use virtio, as outlined in your windows 7 best practices wiki page. I did search the forum, but found nothing conclusive. Just some...

That's exactly my idea, till I find a way to force a shutdown. I'd prefer to have the safest way to backup. That is, with the VM turned off. For some reason, even today backing up a live file system gives me the chills :) What does the snapshot you are referring to utilize? LVM2 snapshot?

I have created a Windows 7 32-bit VM, under proxmox 3.1: ~# pveversion -v proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 3.1-114 (running kernel: 2.6.32-26-pve) pve-manager: 3.1-21 (running version: 3.1-21/93bf03d4) pve-kernel-2.6.32-26-pve: 2.6.32-114 lvm2: 2.02.98-pve4 clvm: 2.02.98-pve4 corosync-pve: 1.4.5-1...

My rather limited previous message with proxmox 2.x suggested there were issues with clean shutdowns of Windows guests. At the time I was experimenting with XP, but right now with a Win7 guest on PVE 3.1, I am still unable to do a shutdown; it simply does not work. Furthermore, doing a stop from...

(bump) Anyone?

I am utilizing pve 3.1 as a host, with a single WIndows 7 32-bit VM. This VM is running 24/7 as an antivirus console, so uptime is of paramount importance. The disk storage is a 60Gb raw file on an LVM2 partition. We are considering methods to backup this thing in a most reliable way...

On spot, I had this test machine running Windows 7 32-bit, on a latest proxmox. The host hardware is nothing special, I was mainly evaluating proxmox usage. Everything was fine, till the moment I tried to use a windows activator on the VM. Bang, that was it. Any idea on how to recover it? I can...

I initially deployed proxmox 2.x on one system. Not server grade, an Asus P5G41T-M LX2/GB/LPT motherboard hosting an Intel E6500. Upgraded BIOS to latest version, enabled Intel virtualization in BIOS, thrown in and enabled a couple of VMs (XPs) and been running happily after. Then I wanted to...

I've got 2.3 installed on a (non-server-quality) system. Contents of /etc/fstab: # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> /dev/pve/root / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/pve/data /var/lib/vz ext3 defaults 0 1 UUID=15c39e29-e687-4476-86ed-04d09436dffb /boot ext3 defaults 0 1...

I read this piece of documentation: http://linux.die.net/man/1/qemu-img Must be some different port of qemu-img then...

I tried to create a fully (ie, not only for the metadata) preallocated qcow2 image file, with the following command, but I am receiving errors: # qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=full vm-100-disk-3.qcow2 128G Formatting 'vm-100-disk-3.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=137438953472 encryption=off...

Re: Disk errors found: How can I move the entire Proxmox installation to another disk System back in its place, everything working beautifully! I have already added to my agenda moving my ESXi production VMs to proxmox! :) Case solved!

Re: Disk errors found: How can I move the entire Proxmox installation to another disk Okay, some more questions. I used vzdump to take a backup of my xp KVM-type vm (had ID 100), to another disk. Reinstalled pve to a fresh disk and I am about to restore the VM. My question is, do I have to...

Re: Disk errors found: How can I move the entire Proxmox installation to another disk Thank you all for your informative posts. Trying dd_rescue showed that there were unrecoverable errors, but not in the area where VMs are stored. So I am going to backup the xp KVM to an external disk...

Re: Disk errors found: How can I move the entire Proxmox installation to another disk Thank you for the fast answer. Do you foresee any trouble regarding LVM/dd_rescue, regarding disk UUIDs etc?

Hello all, I have made a small proxmox installation on a normal (ie non-server quality) system with a single sata disk. This is a fresh 2.3 installation, hosting a Windows XP KVM. Can I "clone" the entire proxmox installation to a disk drive of the same type? The disk with the issue was a...

Thank you!

Hello all, newbie here. Just installed 2.3 and can see that some updates have been released for it. Since this is a Debian system, does one simply do an apt-get update; apt-get upgrade thing to keep the system up to date, or should that be avoided? Which is the best practice?

Newbie here with Proxmox. 2.3 installed on a simple dual-core system. A single Windows XP guest is running. I have connected an Eaton 5110 UPS to the proxmox box, over USB. This UPS works fine with Network UPS Tools (NUT). However a do have a number of questions here: 1) How does install it...
