yes, pve was missing from the repo. fixed now.

I'm a die hard that hates hardware raid on linux :) Hey... I don't seem to find pve-headers for the pve-kernel and those are needed to install zfs on proxmox 3.1. Any hints?

Sorry... I just need to redo the /var/lib/vz mount as I need using what is left from the original lvm partition and add the rest of the disks. BTW, is there a way to install proxmox directly on top of a raid-1 setup without the need to manually hack it after installation?

Well, something I did not think about is that I can always use a smaller partition and install proxmox on only two disks (softraid and lvm). Then I can use the rest for a mirrored vdev of the zfs pool. The rest of the disks can be used as raw disks in the zfs as other vdevs.

I would like to create a self-contained node for proxmox and need to choose between ZFS and BTRFS for the local storage. I normally use ZFS for it's snapshot capabilities, but am not sure of it's a viable solution for a self-contained proxmox node. I would try to keep both the root and the...

Thank you for the quick answer. This did fix it :)

hello, I have an installation that was upgraded from 1.9 to 2.3. I'm trying to create a container but it fails with an error that "vzctl" cannot find a sample conf file. Now, I understand that the GUI should use pvectl and not vzctl. How do I fix this? thank you.

At the end I took the chance and upgraded my old 1.9 cluster to 2.3 The catch is that the nodes must be upgraded one at a time and must join the cluster before having their machines imported using the pve-upgrade script here: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_1.9_to_2.0 So, what I did...

Would you suggest to upgrade the boxes one at a time and move VMs from an old box to a new box? If so, I have a question about the KVM machines running on shared storage (nfs). These are very big (up to 1TB of storage) which is not backed up by proxmox. Instead I am taking snapshots on the NFS...

Re: Security: Sniffing/IP Spoof prevention on KVM machines (or ethernet openvz machin bump

Hi, I'm trying to assest the security regarding the IP spoofing or sniffing data by rogue or untrusted kvm guests (or openvz containers running an ethernet device). My concern is regarding security of running rogue/untrusted or simply uncontrolled virtual machine instances, including the...

Tom, thank you for the quick response. Can I upgrade nodes in the cluster one at a time and import the VM/CT in the cluster one at a time? I'm sure I cannot join a cluster with a node that has VM/CT provisioned on it. Can I join new nodes and import their VM/CT after the join, but one at a...

Hi, I know this is a no-no, but I'd like to give it a try. I upgraded a test custer from 1.9 to 2.3 in my office, but now I need to do it on real servers in a web farm (ouch!). I think that a node cannot join a cluster in 2.3, if the node contains any virtual machines. So the correct procedure...

does not seem related to nfs but more to your host. can you mkdir /mnt/pve from shell?

Sorry, I might have not expressed myself clearly. What I need is to measure the iops used from an openvz container from the "host" so that I can block abusers and/or limit them to a certain io. In openvz there's a way to prioritize io for containers on 8 different levels using the cbq...

This might be a FAQ, but I can't find the answer. Is there a way to check IOPS (not just disk bytes read/written) from an OpenVZ container (and kvm ... perhaps). I need to limit iops from containers to a maximum value of say 50 iops and throttle "abusers" until they slow-down disk requests...

Hi, it seems that in 2.0beta3 there is not way to use an iscsi lun directly (that is, without lvm overhead). I provision LUNs directly from my san, hence the need to connect them directly to the virtual machines. Is this a bug or a known issue? Here's the pve versions root@pm20:~# pveversion...

Quick update: I see this issue in Mac/OSX with Safari. Chrome works fine tough.

Have the same problem, with updated packages. This is on OSX - Safari. Chrome is fine tough . jinjer

Hi, I use nfs as the backend for my vm. It seems that NFS storage is not (yet) supported via the GUI in beta3. How do I add it "manually" or am I missing something? Thank you, jinjer
