Why is this even a discussion? Isn't Virtuozzo proprietary? Everything you say Virtuozzo is better at already works with LXC in PVE4 beta... FYI: the ddos prevention scenario you quote should be done on your router, not on the VM interface. If it reaches the virtual interface, then your...

Wondering if there has been any change or updates on booting/installing PVE on a disk-less system through iSCSI or PXE? There is a wiki article but it's not very efficient for mass deployment. I'm looking at moving to a much bigger production cluster design with remote (NAS/SAN) storage based...

Testing PVE4.0 Beta and wondering when we can expect x64 templates? Some packages are no longer compiled for x86 and some distros are dropping it entirely (ie Centos7 is x64 only now). On a related note, been using OpenVZ x64 templates which also appear to work with LXC in PVE4.

The practical use for this is if you want to use local DNS in your network to refer to systems by name easily (particularly if in a Windows controlled network with DC). For example: -On your DNS server you can create a zone such as mybusiness.com.local then have some dns records for your...

Have you tried dropping the --dumpdir option? The resulting backup should go into /var/lib/vz/dump by default. I believe you may also require the --tmpdir option for --dumpdir to actually work when using a different storage location (don't quote me on that, since I haven't used the old...

The only reason I'd look at Hyper-V nowadays is if I specifically needed RemoteFX via Virtual Desktops (ie, virtualized Win7/8 machines per user). Even then, I've found even this RemoteFX scenario doesn't perform well enough to do anything practical with the VM. Alternatively, I can use PCI-E...

I think your issue is that the Guest VMs aren't using tags? In that case: Windows (not tested myself!): Use e1000 as the nic driver. Then download the Intel ProSet software (not just the driver) from intel. This should allow you to create "virtual" interfaces in windows which allow VLAN...

Re: PVE3.1 + FreeBSD8.3 / pfsense - KVM Hardware Virtualization and VirtIO not possib Change the CPU emulation to "core2duo". I'm not sure if it's the new Intel CPUs causing problems in BSD or proxmox but it fixes the problem. I still use the E1000 drivers rather than virtio. Even a lowly...

Hi Guys, Not sure if this issue is known or perhaps even unintentional. However, the basic issue is that when creating a VM you can attach multiple virtual hard disks (raw/qcow2/LV) but they can be from different storage targets. However, after a backup, if you attempt to restore it, you can...

On the same note, what processes are safe to restart to get access to the Proxmox GUI again? The KVMs are still running and I don't want to cause them to die if it isn't necessary. I'm guessing /etc/init.d/pve-manager and /etc/init.d/pvedaemon should do it?

How do I add the soft option to the PVE conf file? Currently it looks like: nfs: nfs_xxxxx path /mnt/pve/nfs_xxxxx server 10.100.100.100 export /mnt/raid_storage/xxxxx/proxmox options vers=3 content backup maxfiles 5 I'm assuming I modify line 5...

Hi guys, Noticed an issue with one of our VZ containers over the weekend and tracked the issue back to a frozen backup. We have a FreeNAS server running to serve a NFS share for backups. The scheduled backup process froze while initiating the backup which has resulted in many issues: 1) NFS...

Unfortunately, bad sectors are a physical degradation of hard drives. Nothing in software-land will prevent that, only things like SMART and RAID controllers which will silently map around these errors delay the inevitable. Bad sectors also seem to build exponentially. Once you get a few bad...

Hi Guys, Is there a manual way to restore a KVM VM which as 2 LV disks on 2 separate Volume Groups? I've got a VM like this: IDE Disk 1 -> vg_one IDE Disk 2 -> vg_two Vzdump backs that information up correctly, but my problem is I can't restore it back to the way it was. The GUI utility...

I had this problem as well, but I had to make sure I closed all tabs, cleared all cache, closed browser then re-opened. Just clearing cache and refreshing the page didn't work in the case of Google Chrome.

From what I can tell, nothing connected to your vmbr0 would be able to get to 192.168.1.200 as it is the interface address on eth1 which is not bridged with the VMs. Correct me if I'm wrong but you want all computers on your LAN network to connect to your PVE machine as a gateway (which would...

That Fdisk output looks strange. Like the selfimage didn't pickup the partition table. For the hardware profile I created a new one in safe mode, deleted all devices out of it, then ran the mergeide.reg. There's probably a better way but it worked. If not, I would suggest the windows backup...

Can you boot into safe-mode or still have the original XP machine? I've found that creating a new hardware-profile before transferring the machine helps to get Windows to redetect all the hardware again. It's possible some particular bit of hardware is stopping it from booting. Also have you...

The complication here is CTs and iptables. Also Bridged != venet. VENET is layer3, VETH is bridged. In this case you'll probably need to use VETH for your CTs. There's 3 ways I can think of doing it: 1) On VM1.2: First off use VETH (bridged) instead. Then connect it to the same bridge as VM1...

EDIT: Scrap that. Linked to the forums using an old post view which didn't show it's inclusion into PVE :D
