I would like to see something like this (read all 3 articles): http://www.linux-kvm.com/content/how-you-can-use-qemukvm-base-images-be-more-productive-part-1 implemented in the web based software. Using the copy on write features of cqow2 you can set an image as a "base" or "golden" image...

I'm putting together hardware for my production cluster. I've been looking at a Supermicro Twin^2 which is a barebones server that puts four servers in one 2U case sharing one redundant PS. It seems good, except for the Intel ICH10R fakeraid, which I doubt is going to run well under Proxmox...

Yes. If you copy the raw image it is like making a copy of the disk, so you can move it to the other server by whatever means. You would then create an identical machine in Proxmox and set the disk image you copied over to be the boot disk.

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone is running Proxmox on one of these Dell PowerEdge R510 servers. It seems like I always have to go with CentOS on Dell servers ... :(

When I attach a UPS to my Proxmox server are there any special considerations to setting it up. I'm thinking that when the UPS signals the server to shutdown, should I also be sending a signal to each guest OS to shutdown cleanly?

Have you seen the Tom's Hardware benchmarks?: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ssd-flash-trim,2593-8.html

Good info, thanks!

Awesome! Thank you.

I used dd to create a raw copy of Windows 2003 server. I did run the ide reg file but when I open it in Proxmox VE I'm getting the dreaded BSOD: STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF789EA94,0xC0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000) I tried using Acronis TrueImage to inject the HAL drivers, but it didn't work. I'm...

I'd like to be able to set the disk caching properties in the web gui. The caching properties are: -writeback: highest performance, high risk of data corruption on power failure. -writethough: uses host paging file, has perfomance problems with qcow2. -none: no host caching. -default...

What are the best practices for a Windows 2003 guest? I've been googling for a while now and found a lot of contradictory information. Please give me your opinion and the benefit of your experience. Of course one of the great things about Windows 2003 is that once you activate your license...

I've been thinking about using the intel SSD's for my virtual machines that hosts DB's. Think it's worth it?

Yeah. You are right. Anyway it's not critical since everything is keyboard navigatable.

Agreed. If the system is remote I suggest tunneling RDP over SSH for security. SSH provides better file transfer functionality as well. If you are running Windows on your workstation Tunnelier http://www.bitvise.com/tunnelier eliminates the need to login 2x (one for SSH one for RDP).

OK, I have the machine set to Windows 2003, but I think Acronis runs Linux. Would it hurt if I change the 'Guest Type' to 'Linux 2.6' run Acronis and then switch back to 'Windows 2003' before I boot that OS?

I'm having the same problem, when using an Acronis bootable cd on the guest. I seem to remember a time when VNC didn't try to sync mouse cursors. Where can I change the vnc configuration?

Would it be possible to see some sample config files?

Personally I use shorewall everywhere else, so I would be interested in using that on proxmox, but I haven't gotten there yet. Anyone else use shorewall on Proxmox?

I'm trying to work out a method of using cygwin dd and shadow copy to create an image of a live 2003 server for p2v conversion. Shadow copy only gives us partition data, so the image isn't bootable. So my idea is this: 1) Use dd to copy the first 32k of the actual boot disk. 2) Use dd to copy...

I had the same problem when I deleted an iso image file and booted a machine with that iso in the virtual cdrom. I changed the cdrom to empty/eject and then I was able to boot the system. I've tried virtio lan/ disk / SCSI and 2X CPU 2X cores. It all seems to work but IDE with raw...
