    Mixed Proxmox + Ceph networking model

    Hi again, I've been thinking a while, reading and doing some tests. I understand that is better to have independent NIC for every kind of traffic and we will probably end adding more NIC to our servers but I would like to share one idea and get your opinion from you. I've read that it is...

    Mixed Proxmox + Ceph networking model

    Thanks Alwin, To avoid other traffic to interfere with corosync, and keep using just 2x1Gb bond in most of my nodes, would help to define a dedicated VLAN to corosync? I would define also other VLAN for Ceph and FreeNAS (and of course for client traffic) Without changing the 2x1Gb NIC, what...

    Mixed Proxmox + Ceph networking model

    Hi, We've got a Proxmox cluster using FreeNAS for sharing storage. Most of the nodes have 2x1Gb NIC, and one have 2x1Gb+2x10GB NIC. We use a primary NAS that shares iSCSI resources (directly attached to some VM from proxmox) and NFS as a KVM storage (disk images), and a secondary one for...

    Replication for Disaster Recovery solution (feature request)

    Hi, Recently I've upgraded to PVE 5.1 and I've seen the "Replication" new feature. As I see, it's only possible to do zfs replicas between cluster nodes and for me it would be great to be able to do replicas between two diferent datacenters (production site and disaster recovery site). As I...

    KVM and cpuunits

    Hi dietmar, I've done some more tests and you were right, it works. Now I'm doing a cpu stress using the command "stress-ng --cpu 2 --cpu-ops 50000" concurrently on many vm running at the same node (this command does 50000 bogo operations and then stops and gives the execution time). By...

    KVM and cpuunits

    Ok, thanks. I'll repeat the tests again. It's extrange, I changed the cpuunits in many VM on a node and I would swear that there was no difference. In fact, I tried to put a very high value to a VM and I did a cpu stress and I expected to see a big cpu usage on the node but it was the same as...

    KVM and cpuunits

    Hi, I would like to priorize some KVM VM over other ones. I've seen there's a "CPU Units" field in the "CPU Options" button that is available from the hardware tab on the KVM machines. From the help I read that this option allows to give more CPU to a VM, but, does this apply to KVM Virtual...

    Mini HOWTO: Running Mac OS X 10.9 under Proxmox 3.3

    You can't set the network interface model from the Proxmox web GUI, you have to manually edit your vm file config and change the network interface settings net0: e1000-82545em=32:65:65:65:33:33,bridge=vmbr1 The important thing is to use " e1000-82545em". From Mavericks until now you can't...

    Can't install Proxmox on HP Proliant DL380 Gen9

    Have you tried to disable the SmartArray Controller? I installed proxmox 3.3 on a HP DL180 Gen 9 server (with an unsupported raid controller) in Legacy mode using "SATA AHCI mode". I also installed a DL 360 Gen9 with a supported controller. I posted some info about that in the proxmox...

    Mini HOWTO: Running Mac OS X 10.9 under Proxmox 3.3

    I've also needed to change the file /usr/share/qemu-server/pve-q35.cfg, to be able to boot the VM on proxmox. I first installed the VM following the Gabriel L. Somlo procedure from http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~somlo/OSXKVM/ using kvm directly on a Debian Machine, after that I managed to...

    Mini HOWTO: Running Mac OS X 10.9 under Proxmox 3.3

    Hi, I've been testing MacOSX 10.8.5 on Proxmox 3.2 testing with kernel 3.10 since august and it works fine. I use many cores and it seem to work fine. We have 3 proxmox nodes on Apple Hardware (MacPro 3.1 and mac mini) so we are respecting Apple's EULA cause we're virtualizing OSX on Apple...
