Suspend-to-disk is simple and stable with kvm. If more than a few people are interested i could implement it and send patches in my next open timeslot. Design question: would you like to give a hibernation filename or should it be autogenerated? Would you like to see a suspendonreboot init.d...

The bridges must be "up" on the master! If you only add them at the web-interface with no physical interface connected you can simply copy /etc/network/interfaces.new to /etc/network/interfaces and do "ifup vmbr100". Regard, Mario

Hi all, we are working with a three node cluster with three drbd's sharing storage between two nodes (primary- and backup-node). On each Node i've added: dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/pvdummy0 bs=512 count=1024 pv=$( losetup -s -f /tmp/pvdummy0 ) pvcreate $pv vgcreate <missing vg name> $pv to...

No, only that both packages! Why is that distribution lenny an not pvetest? With that one can use pinning! If you had a look to the linked page, you may have noted that one need to set the restore-vmid when you configure the backup job. To avoid that, i have a wrapper script that takes the...

After some days of successful backups of multiple vms on to pve-hosts and one restore I think the solution is working! I could not reproduce your broken pipe problem. What is the recommended way to install packages from pvetest? It looks like the same distribution in both repositories. I have...

Just a note: With vzdump/qmrestore-stdio capabilities you can also simplify cloning! vzdump --stdout --snapshot 101 | qmrestore --unique - 102

If my patches gets committed, i would place a description in your wiki. But i will not cover a bacula-fd update that in fact is required. With lenny comes bacula-fd 2.4.4, current is 5.0.3(!) and to use bpipe-plugin you need at least 3.x. See attached files! Like this or only a file-diff?

To say it like the proxmox-people: See http://wiki.bacula.org/doku.php?id=application_specific_backups:postgresql#single_pass_backup_with_bpipe to get an idea. I would like to have a "qm rename <vmid> <new-vmid>". Are there any plans to implement something like this? Regards, Mario

I've taken your comment to to redesign my bacula plans with using vzdump and qmrestore. I've started with some minor changes to let them support writing to stdout and reading from stdin. There is a new option for vzdump named "--stdout" and qmrestore treats '-' as "read from stdin" and not as a...

vga uses vesafb by default and this is only configurable on boot. uvesafb is configurable at runtime by fbset and complete "restartable" by disabling the binding, unload/load uvesafb. Well, i do remember that i have to install "v86d" in addition to use uvesafb but after that it works simply out...

I'm still using my quick and dirty hack. It is quite simple: - install directvnc - edit /usr/sbin/qm -> Change line 20 ("my $vnccmd....") to my $vnccmd = "directvnc localhost:__DISPLAY__ -p __TICKET__ -e raw -f 10";-> reverse order of lines 662 and 663 ( "system...") -> move the ampersand behind...

True if your vm has working acpi-support that takes the shutdown call, false if it stays up and gets killed. Stop-start cycle takes much more time than stopping, migrate to file and continue! What errors do you expect? We use this stuff for about one year without proxmox on vmware-server-1.x...

Main question:

Hi all, i had a deeper view to vzdump and qm. Even in suspend mode a backup of a kvm is not in a clean state. The vm_suspend call does only a stop-call on the kvm-monitor. I would like to migrate to a file after the stop-call and add this file to the archive. I could do modifications to the...

Hi all, i have done some minor changes to /usr/sbin/qm to get a local console on the pe-node using the framebuffer with directvnc. That works great. I would like to submit a patch with a clean modification. Right now the "qm vnc <vmid>" is modified! Would you prefer to do some kind of...
