what version of proxmox are you usin. its definately in the 2.3. versions and later. its a handy feature to have. it would be nice for a bit more granularity but sowhat this is great project.

Depending on your needs and budget, get as much cache ram that device can take and get a battery back up for the cache ram module. It is worth it. with a hardware array, the os should only see te created volumes even if the encompas more than one drive.

Except for the widnows kvm. using openvz is very simple and it has a significantly lower foot print than than the kvms. Running a mail server via a kvm and open vz are really no different except access to the data of the virtual machine aka CT is no different then accessing the right...

Several other considerations due to your high load and dbs tend to be disk and bus IO intensive, you will want the controller with the fastest processor, and battery backed flash write back cache ram. I would go for a gig and a good strong LSI based card. I tend to use HP 800 series controller...

I think what is being asking is an earlier question I had asked about migration between hardware nodes with no shared storage, no cluster just a shared network connection. It cannot be done since there is no provision in the giu to add ip address and ssh info if needed. Command vzmigrate...

What type of switch do you have? Singe or multipe interfaces from the HN to the switch. LACP or something else. What do the switch counters indicate for errors or other packet problems between the interfaces. All CAT 5E or 6 Cable. Switch fully patched? There was a thread about someone...

A couple of questions come to mind. Are these machines with hardware or software raid? What type of drives, SAS or just sata. The HDA disconnection is indicating a problem with the drive, drive controller, driver or interaction of all the above and memory issues. If you are losing HDA, it...

one idea would be drop to the hn shell and back up the vmid directory and exclude the directory you dont want. You can either tarball the files or leave raw. I have used rsnapshot for this.

I have never done that; but i would bet someone in the community has tried that. You have a lot of nics to play with which is great. There are two approachs. One is to use a single crossover cable and connect between the two servers and assign static ip address on each one. Then you are at...

If you are using CTs and do not have the proper hardware to do fencing and 100 percent up to the second content consistency is not required you can do the following. Use rsync and vzmigrate function and migrate the CT over to the extra box. Do not forget to use the the option to not destroy the...

its well documented in the notes but e1000 and kvm64 and overall has provided better comptability and speed especially with kvms. This was partially driven by a number of form posts where use thereof resolved a number of quirkies. qcow2. support for enhanced kvm backup

Did you look in the log files for any errors. Were there a number of dcom errors? typically this is due to a critical problem detected with a driver needed for startup. To see which update is causing the problem is to install them one at a time and to start only minimum services. i have had...

There are two in the Midwestern part of the US that are interested

Do any of the future development plans include more comprehensive gui support for DRBD and configuration for CT use? I know there are many competing priorities but this would be a nice feature plus or alternative to standard HA. Allowing this to be an option post install and even post...

Typically, on install the root password for CLI and for the user are the same. Here are some suggestions. Create a password but remove the use of leading characters such as !@#$ and make it simple password. Just number and letters. Test consol login via direct console and via SSH and...

I don't know what the underlying OS is in the VM but you mentioned IDE so I am presuming Windows based envronment. Directions work for both. This is the way that I would do the whole process. I would copy the the vmdk file to a local PC. Use VMware workstation to open up the image and...

Thanks Udo, That's what I thought. I was hoping there was another way other than the CLI which you can do with openvz. So may have to play in DRBD purgatory.

Proxmox 2.2 Latest build, running LVM local storage for the CT's I suspect I am missing something really basic. Looked a wiki, and looked at forums and did some searching. Working from webui and I wanted to test CT migration between two proxmox servers-non-clustered-running with local storage...

Is there a possibility that the aft.sys file has been changed or compromised. There are some viruses that will cloak themselves as that file and run as an LSP using afd.sys In services startup, strip out and stop all unnecessary services that could interact with the network such as backup...

Are you using software raid? Its been reported that with some debian basesd systems that with software raid you can get this message JBD: barrier-based sync failed on vda1-8. A way to stop the posting of these messages is to Edit grub.conf or menu.lst and pass the following parameter to...
