I've been getting some strange results when I run benchmarks on one of my Windows 2003 virtual machines. I'm seeing throughput of 350 MB/s on a virtual disk. Only about 260 MB/s faster than the real (host) disk speed. I've used hdparm -t under Cygwin and HD Tune Pro, and I'm getting similar...

It seems pretty risky. I'm surprised it didn't corrupt the drive. I may have just been lucky. I'd like to try it a couple more times before I put it on the wiki, but frankly I'm afraid to try it on production systems. Maybe a better approach is to create a Shadow Copy volume and then dd that.

I was able to successfully create a working raw disk image using dd under cygwin. Unfortunately I don't have physical access to the machines so the live image cd's weren't going to work. I had some worries about running dd on the live system disk, but it seems to have worked.

Black screen is a Java/Firefox issue. I restarted Firefox and it started showing me a bios error: A disk read error has occurred.

I used the Server 1.x target and a non=preallocated disk. Copied the disk using vmware-vdiskmanager. 'quemu-img convert' converted the disk to qcow2. I add the qcow2 disk and started the vm. Success ... I think. Right now the VNC console shows a black screen & CPU is at 100%. Is this...

I run VMware Workstation 6.5, which doesn't ship with this tool (vmware-vdiskmanager) ... I ended up installing server on a laptop. I've had a couple of conversions fail ... I'll get specifics on this board later. I've been trying to the specific versions of vmdk that quemu supports. this...

I've currently installed VMware Server on a laptop, so I copy the disk image to a USB drive, convert the image, then copy the new image to the Proxmox VE server. I tried just pulling the .exe off my install, but it does depend on some libraries, so it's not too portable. VMware Server has a...

Hi, I'm trying to convert a Windows 2003 server using VMware vCenter Converter Standalone. When create a VMware Server 2x image and convert it using: qemu-img convert -f vmdk win2003-pve.vmdk -O qcow2 win2003-pve.qcow2I get a disk won't boot error in bios. I tried recreating the image as a...

Thanks! I've been using commodity hardware like realtek for so long I forgot Intel went to monolithic drivers.

The e1000 driver links are dead: The closest I could find for my Windows 2003 server are these XP embedded example drivers: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=7283&lang=eng Anyone have any better links?

I uploaded the virtio iso, but I can't seem to get it mounted on my Windows 2003 guest. I tried modifying the cdrom device via the web interface, but it didn't seem to update in windows. Then I rebooted the virtual machine, and it doesn't come up as it's trying to boot the cd. I have the boot...

Browser limitation? Thanks for the link.

Currently I have a setup like this: internets | linux firewall (multiple public ips) | ----------------------- (internal natted ips) | | | Windows Linux Linux Server Server Server Can I set up iptables on proxmox ve to...

I have a couple of DVD images I have tried to upload without luck, I just get a permanent "Please wait...". Is there anything I need to do to enable upload? Or better can I just sftp the images over? Where do I put them?

I installed another NIC (hopefully a temporary thing) and upgraded the kernel: apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get install proxmox-ve-2.6.24 It still doesn't detect the onboard NIC. I found an Ubuntu bug report...

Hmm, this is a practice run for a bigger server where the server is in geographically different location than the proxmox ve server. I'm thinking the NBD method might be slow at best, and have timeout issues at worst. Maybe I better explore the vmware converter. Thanks James ... definitely...

I'm trying to convert a 2003 server to a virtual machine. I've run mergeide.reg, and created an image using Selfimage, transferred it to the proxmox server. I've got a 2003 virtual machine set up on the proxmox web interface. What's next? Do I need to convert the .img file Selfimage...

It looks like it's not detecting it at all. I see it under lspci of course, but not under dmesg and there is nothing under lsmod either. Atheros has released a linux driver here: http://partner.atheros.com/Drivers.aspx but I think upgrading the kernel should do the trick.

This is a new install, although I basically installed it a month ago and just came back to it. /etc/network/interfaces : auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto vmbr0 iface vmbr0 inet static address 192.168.2.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.2.1...
