    What is a Good Raid 10 Controller to Use with Proxmox?

    I'm not having much luck over here. I was able to install other OS...like Centos, etc with not problems. It just seems halfway through the setup of Proxmox, the 5805Z card sets off the alarm. I have the Bios V5.2-0 Build 17380. Does Proxmox try to create a layer between the Adaptec that may be...

    What is a Good Raid 10 Controller to Use with Proxmox?

    Tom..is it possible for the Proxmox to cause the Raid to fail? My adaptec card's buzzer is going off during the install of proxmox. I called adaptec support and they said it is acting as if something is causing a drive to fail or changing the bios configuration of the controller. I have...

But everything seemed to install okay and when I went to a machine and put in the ip to access the virtual terminal...it gave...

    Best Proxmox Scenario for My Server....

    Hi all. I have gotten a few recommendations on what may be the best way to set up Proxmox for our needs, but would love to hear what others may think. Currently we have one server that is running centos 5 with php, apache, mysql and postfix email. Our new server (transferring old to new) I was...

    Need Help Setting Up New Server and Transferring my Old

    I have not seen any containers with the OS of Centos 5 64bit with PHP, Apache, etc. So I guess I will have to install the Centos 5 and then install the other software needed?

    Need Help Setting Up New Server and Transferring my Old

    Well as you can clearly tell...I am very new to all of this. I would most likely believe that we should have one container with all the websites. Do you think that would be the best scenario? Really the only thing I was thinking I would need to 'keep separate' is the MySql...because later on I...

    Need Help Setting Up New Server and Transferring my Old

    This machine is 100% used for web sites, emails, etc. which requires mysql, php, apache, etc. We host around 15 websites on it and are looking to add more, thus why we are trying to upgrade into a beefier machine. There seems to be a fine line as to which method to use between a container and...

    What is a Good Raid 10 Controller to Use with Proxmox?

    Thanks Tom for the info! I ordered the 5805Z...ooooch! Hopefully you will be around if I get myself into some trouble trying to get it set up with Proxmox.

    Need Help Setting Up New Server and Transferring my Old

    yatesco...then don't you think it would be wise to set up two KVM's on my machine? One running my SQL and the other KVM running my apache, email server, web server and each of those with in a OpenVZ? I understand what OpenVZ is but am having a hard time distinguishing the difference between KVM...

    What is a Good Raid 10 Controller to Use with Proxmox?

    Well I figured out that Proxmox doesn't care for the software versions of Raid 10 that my motherboard came with. So now have to spend some more money! :( Can someone recommend a pretty good Raid 10 controller that is not going to put me into poverty? Thanks

    How Can I Install Proxmox on a Raid 10?

    Udo, thanks for the reply. Yes unfortunately it is a 'fake' raid 10. I have looked around the forums and see others with this same issue. Looks like more money to get this thing going! :( Do you think since I only have one server running the Centos, PHP, simple email server and SQL all together...

    How Can I Install Proxmox on a Raid 10?

    I just upgraded our server with 4-WD drives and in the bios set it for Raid, then on the bios software set the drives to Raid 10. I then booted to Proxmox install cd and proceeded to install, but noticed it was only installing on the 0 drive. After the installation, looked everything was fine...

    Need Help Setting Up New Server and Transferring my Old

    I was told otherwise. I am just trying to make it as fast as possible with the flexibility to be able to move things to other servers. Later on we will be buying another server to dedicate the SQL, so I was hoping that this way I could just copy over what we have created.

    I was thinking of making three VMs KVM, and having VM1 - Centos Running Appache/PHP VM2 - Centos running Scalix Mail Server and VM3 - Centos running MySQL. I was told to make sure the network is set to Virtio Drivers. I was just wondering how much cpu, disk space and memory I should allocate for...

    Udo, we have Raid 10 with 4 - 300gb each drives. That is the thing...I haven't set any of it up yet, because I was hoping to get some insight on which is going to be the best way to set up the environment, etc. I listed above what we are needing to run on this new server and that is why I was...

    Hi all. Love Proxmox!!! What a great software. We currently have one server running all our centos 5, php, apache, mysql and a simple email server. We have around 15 domains on it and are heavy php and mysql hogs. My question is what is going to be the best setup for my new server running the...

    Moving My Server to Proxmox

    Thanks Tom, We have not made a full backup yet, but I guess that would not be a problem. A problem doing that way is, I want to have the sql on another machine and right now it is on the Mac. Hopefully you will be around when I actually start the process which will be in the next few days.
