Hi,
High Availability needs fencing.
Live migration needs shared storage.
You have 2 nodes and no shared storage? Drbd is for you! Now, you have 2 nodes AND shared storage.
You need disk space on each node, and one or 2 extra NICs for drbd link.
Then : http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/DRBD...
Hi,
Yes it is!
At least via nfs. I haven't tried iSCSI on Syno for such project, but nfs is OK.
Syno is rock solid, we use it for backups (vzdump) without any issue.

Hi,
You can safely use "writeback (not safe)" with an EMC SAN or any SAN with a BBU.
You can easily compare by moving the VM disk on a local storage, and test again.
You should really upgrade to pve 3.3, v2.3 is a bit old nowadays.
Christophe.
Great work!
Thank You proxmox team!
One note : NoVNC is my prefered feature (forget Java!).
BUT : right-click on a VM shows an item "Console", while a click on the topright "console" button drops down a list, allowing to choose... Is there a way to launch a NoVNC console by right-clicking on a...
Works fine here, at least on Firefox 32, Chrome 37.
Safari 7 like yours (server disconnected : 1006).
MacBook Pro Retina, late 2013.
Proxmox running into virtualbox, a 2 nodes cluster, on the MacBook Pro, and lubuntu VM under proxmox.

Hi,
Move disk is a really, really useful feature!
It makes easy to reorganize storage, with VM still running. Great.
So, today, we need to move some tens of disks.
And because it is not possible to move all disks of a given VM at a time (VM locked while moving first one, and no multiple...
Hi,
Right, I'm not at work right now but I patched this kind of script to migrate HA managed VMs 'runnig. Stopped ones did not migrate).
Thanks,
Christophe.
Hi all,
I don't want to stop or halt a VM, just freeze it for a few second.
I thought "suspend" option was available.
It's not!
Is it possible to add such an option in a future version?
Thanks,
Christophe.
Yes, and you can also try to fix RAM size. Do not use memory ballooning.
We had high load on 2012 RDS farms with ballooning enabled, it is working far better right now with fixed size RAM.
Christophe.
You can REMOVE (rename) your multipath.conf and test again.
You can verify many things withd multipatd, beginning with :
multipathd show config
Don't forget to RTFM.
Are you sure about your network switch config? Network cables?
Your NICs?
Is your NIC EEE (Efficient Energy Ethernet)...
Hi,
You probably don't want multibus (path_grouping_policy) since P2000 is an active / passive SAN. group_by_prio should work a lot better.
You should carefully read https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/DM_Multipath/mpio_configfile.html...
I have such a cluster (2 nodes), on a MacBook pro + virtualbox! And DRBD, so live migration works fine.
BUT, you dont have hardware virtualization inside your guest proxmox : your VMs will run, slowly... But they run. Fine for educational purpose. I tried lubuntu.
Yesterday I tried new kernel...
Re: VM does not want to start?
Found it!
Just added "cache=unsafe" in 16000.conf!
virtio0: Disques-VMs-PRA:vm-16000-disk-1,size=50G
became
virtio0: Disques-VMs-PRA:vm-16000-disk-1,cache=unsafe,size=50G
And VM boots OK now.
A bug when no "cache=" directive is given in .conf?
Thanks...
Hi all,
I have 3 identical servers (IBM x3850 x5) : a cluster of 2, and another isolated one.
Some VMs are running on isolated one.
Now, I want to join the isolated node to the cluster :
- stop VMs running on it,
- backup,
- restore on cluster,
- start VM.
VM won't start on any node of the...
