    Emulated Network Cards

    I see from the Proxmox documentation (https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Qm_manual) that Qemu emulates a NE2000 ISA network card. I need this card for a legacy DOS application. How can I use this in Proxmox?

    Vzdump.conf settings.

    To change the default settings for vzdump, can I just remove the # from the front of the item in vzdump.conf? For example, #ionice: PRI to ionice: 10 ? If this is the way it works, does that add 10 to the default (I think it's 7) or does it set ionice to 10?

    Clone feature

    I have tried to clone a KVM Windows XP VM. When I do try, I get the following error: Full clone feature is not available at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/API2/Qemu.pm line 2093. (500) There's lots of space on the storage that I want to create the clone on. There would not be enough storage on local...

    Networking Question

    Here's a question: I have a server with two network ports. At the moment, I have four VM's running. They all use eth0 for networking via vmbr0. Inside the VM's, I can either specify a DHCP address or fix it. My server has a fixed IP. So far, so good. Now I want to use the second network port...

    What versions of NFS are supported?

    I am currently using FreeNAS to back up VM's to, and this works OK. However, occasionally I would like to be able to back up VM's to my laptop (they aren't that big) using NFS. I'm using Windows 7 Pro. We have recompiled and made this - http://sourceforge.net/projects/sossnt/ work for us. We...

    Adding a USB device

    I have had success in adding a USB device to a KVM virtual machine by adding it to the conf file and restarting the vm. An example line in the conf file is: usb0: host=1058:1042 This works OK. If I wish to add another device, I presume that I would add another line so: usb1: host=XXXX:XXXX Is...

    Avahi error message

    I get this occasionally: avahi-daemon[2382]: server.c: Packet too short or invalid while reading response record. (Maybe a UTF-8 problem?) I understand that avahi is a process that runs to discover network devices. Two questions: What does the above error mean and Does this process really...

    PVE 3 kills Windows 7 Performance

    Previously, I had two Windows 7 guests, one Windows XP and one NAS4Free guest. All these were running on a Dell R210, with a single SATA drive for the VM's and operating system, and another SATA drive for storage. With PVE2.3, the performance was very good. VM's would start and stop quickly, and...

    Running a web browser on console

    I'd like to be able to make the proxmox server completely self contained. That is, have the possibility to run only a web browser on the console for configuration monitoring. No other applications and no window manager. Normally, this would not be used, but for our applications, there may be...

    Cloning a complete proxmox installation.

    A little background. After looking at VMWare, Hyper-V and Xen, I have decided that Proxmox is the one that I intend to use. The intended purpose is quite simple. It will consolidate three PC's (two Windows 7 and one XP) into one server. The configurations of the PC's are very constant. The way...
