    Slow Web Interface Performance

    Storage! I think that was it! I had a misconfigured ISCSI target. Removed it and it seems like things are moving faster now. THANK YOU!

    Slow Web Interface Performance

    Re: Solved Eth1 is the storage backend. Right now I've got the vm's running locally though. I thought my network config could be the problem since that's one of the few things I changed since I moved the cluster from my home office.

    Slow Web Interface Performance

    Big performance problem

    I'm seeing this behaviour as well.

    Slow Web Interface Performance

    Re: Solved Or not. Looks like some operations are still pretty slow. Adding disks takes forever. It seems like it's mainly operations that deal with the "hardware" tab.

    Slow Web Interface Performance

    Solved It turns out the node was version 1.6, I upgraded to 1.7, rebooted the node and the web interface runs much smoother now.

    Slow Web Interface Performance

    Hi, I've moved my Proxmox 1.7 server cluster from my home office to a data center, and now the web interface responds very slowly. Now my face looks like this: :mad: Everything else seems to run quickly: SSH, the VNC terminals, virtual machine performance seems fine. Things that have...

    Proxmox shows 8 CPUS on Quad core server

    Maybe it does. This ancient (2003) IBM developerworks benchmark shows a 30% performance boost in some multithreaded applications. So it may be good to leave it on. Still multiple cores + hyperthreading seems like redundant features to me, I guess that's why I didn't think hyperthreading would...

    Proxmox shows 8 CPUS on Quad core server

    I thought that might be the reason, but I didn't see that in the CPU specs. Nice... 4 bonus cpus!

    Proxmox shows 8 CPUS on Quad core server

    Just installed Proxmox on a new server with a Intel L3650 CPU. Proxmox is showing 8 CPUS when I believe I should see 4. CPU(s)8 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU L5630 @ 2.13GHz Anyone have any insight on this? Does this indicate a problem I need to fix? As always thanks for reading.

    Proxmox on Sata Flash device

    Business: it's going to be a mission critical cluster. I have found devices that promise better performance/reliability. But they are expensive ($250 USD), about the same price as a desktop SSD with way less capacity. I still don't think I've found the right device. The first one I linked to...

    Proxmox on Sata Flash device

    I'm thinking about installing Proxmox on a sata flash device like this one: http://www.amazon.com/7-pin-Flash-Drive-Module-Type-1/dp/B003C50AEQ The advantages are fast read, reliability, frees up extra drive space in the front of the case for storage drives and low energy consumption. I'm...

    Installation without postfix

    I don't know your full situation but I wouldn't suggest installing Proxmox VE on top of a production email server. It opens up a plethora of potential problems because the host becomes a possible single point of failure for all the virtual machines. Running other software introduces potential...

    Installation without postfix

    I'm not sure what you are asking here ... If you want to migrate an existing physical server to Proxmox virtual machine you might want to read the wiki page here: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migration_of_servers_to_Proxmox_VE Is that what you are looking for?

    Fast snapshot backups for KVM

    I don't think I'm encountering a recursive situation here, just the .tmp files are stored in the same directory where the snapshot and log files end up. Where should I put a local snapshot on my test system with just 1 hard drive? Does this also mean I need to use iSCSI for fast snapshoting to...

    Windows 2003 Guest best practices

    I started a new page on the wiki: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_2003_guest_best_practices Right now it's little more than a placeholder, but I think that it would be good to have a "guest best practices" category, and documents like this for the common guest OS's.

    Hardware recommendations/recipes

    I'm not reselling virtual machines, so the the machines need to support just a few guests for one organization; a couple of legacy Windows 2003 KVM's and some Linux guests, probably KVM as well since I'm not sure I need the density of OpenVZ (and I want to run the latest Ubuntu LTS). The...
