    Online migration solution between tro DRBD storages ?

    We would like to use _two_ DRBD devices for the "show" als recommened in older documents on this page. Usually one is primary on one node and secondary on the other and vice versa. primary/secondary secodary/primary If one machine needs service we would have to switch to: primary/primary...

    SupermicroX8dt Dual Neahlem: FIXED Bad Clock Source (PVE2 crashes, time jitter etc)

    We went into strong troble when installing PVE2.1 on a new machine. As soon there was some load the machine got slow and finally frozen after slowly getting killed. BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 70s! [events/0:35] I had a look at the clocksource the kernel was using since it reported...

    Performance issues with IPCop & Proxmox

    We don't use a blank bridge...would be an idea. How do you start such bridge? On some interfaces we use bridges without IP, but we have to start them by hand:-(( We used IPCop 1.x since ~2006 but we went into some difficulties and finally moved to Endian-Firewall (Community) a few days ago. We...

    DRBD disconnects at higher network loads !?

    I did some UDP-packet-loss testing using higher loads on all 4 links which connect our PVE cluster machines. One of the links is exclusively used for DRBD usually. One machine is a dual XEON the other a Single PhenomX6 using latest Intel Ethernet boards. I increased buffering of kernel to get...

    Activate a bridge _without_ networking restart

    I have four interfaces and three bridges running and would like to add further interfaces and bridges. BUT I have to activate them without stopping service of the running VMs. Is there a solution to get them run without loosing the vmtab-connections to the VMs. A short interruption of the...

    Backup of VM failed (with exit code 5)

    I did a very bad thing which was causing instability and crashes of the whole cluster. It was fully my fault and only additionaly triggering of hidden bugs. I configured both nodes to do the backups on the disks of the other node to be able to restart the services really soon if one nodes...

    Problem by cluster to migrate virtual machines

    Re: DRBD/LVM migration doesn't work any longer for new machines The basic problem is what happens when split brain happens while having LVM/DRBD machines running on both nodes. Now finally to the HA -> "as short as possible" change question: Is there a solution for DRBD/LVM which doesn't...

    Backup of VM failed (with exit code 5)

    I have had issues with backup too. In past I was backing up two nodes to an enterprise NAS and have had backup failures like the above, too. NAS is an ugly SMB share. Sometimes a Snapshot was left off, too. Sometimes targz worked forever. Probably it's not a good idea to use the NAS für storing...

    Cross-Backup of two PVE-Servers, how?

    Please delete this thread... I missed a cron job I tuned with size 8192/ bwlimit 10000 which made me confusing. It works like this. No questions left... I'm using two PVE servers running local (lvm/raid) storage and a part of the storage is DRBD shared storage. I managed to offer an nfs4...

    Problem by cluster to migrate virtual machines

    Re: DRBD/LVM migration doesn't work any longer for new machines Please don't get me wrong! I'm really happy with PVE and like to give feedback to further enhance it. The DRBD-Mailing list is not the right place to ask how to reboot the PVE-Master or PVE-Node as intended by its makers (using...

    Problem by cluster to migrate virtual machines

    Re: DRBD/LVM migration doesn't work any longer for new machines Hmmm.. One thing is to understand the risks, one thing is to get a warning, and the third thing is preventing PVE to migrate to a no longer shared device. Isn't there the chance to stop the migration or make it fail with any...

    Problem by cluster to migrate virtual machines

    Re: DRBD/LVM migration doesn't work any longer for new machines Again more details: The working machines have LVMs on both nodes, as I would expect. The non-working machines have LVMs only on the master node. In my understanding the cluster sync of the lvm-volumes doesn't work any longer. How...

    Problem by cluster to migrate virtual machines

    DRBD/LVM migration doesn't work any longer for new machines Thanks for the link, I'll look closer. Btw: My Win2008R2 migrates both directions (AMD/Intel) without trouble and without changing anything. More detailed to the above problem: The old machines work like the W2008R2 above, I...

    Problem by cluster to migrate virtual machines

    I have had a closer look at the logs: Regarding the the SAMBA/VFS issue there are some posts which recomend to disable "opportunistic locking" via echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/OpLockEnabled (works until reboot). I'll check if it works for me. =============== My kernel Log shows me tons of: Aug 30...

    Problem by cluster to migrate virtual machines

    Migration worked fine for me last week, but I there are issues now. I'm using KVM via LVM/DRBD and local storage (*.raw, qcow2). I added the following block, maybe it helps to identify a mayor issue. Currently the cluster doesn't work really smoth... I'm using Nehalem(Intel) and PhenomX4(AMD)...

    Proxmox hanging 100% on 1 VM load.

    Topic matches my problem, in detail doesn't, though. If a VM hangs in STOP and can't no longer be killed by the Webinterface while other machines/KVM/PVE is fully vital and running: How to find the right process to "kill -9" it. Or is there a better way to identify the KVM process to a vmid...

    Problem by cluster to migrate virtual machines

    That's what's happing to me, too. I now understood >shared< means "copy off, both nodes see the same files". I simply changed the config /etc/pve/storage.cfg on the master. It got synced to the slave. And it works Ist this a correct way?

    backup usb speed

    Where is the file exactly used for? Yesterday I generated the file and entered bwlimit: 20400 because the backup actually takes>12 hours and I would basicly like to limit backup to the night. Today it took as long as yesterday. Is /etc/vzdump.conf used as a template? This means I have to...
