    Win2008R2 exaggeratedly slow with 256GB RAM and strange behaviours in PVE

    Maybe late to the table but I hope this info can help someone that is experiencing trouble on an R720. You might want to examine your BIOS settings where it concerns power management. Where I work we run thousands of R720s and therefore have seen this quite a bit. Please refer to Dells...

    Shellshock bash security update

    Debian, Ubuntu and Redhat all did two releases to address the issue. If you have applied an update in the last 24 hours then you should be in good shape. I wasn't aware of an exploit in the wild that targeted anything beyond apache. Is there such a beast or was Proxmox vulnerable in any of...

    Recover Deleted VM

    Just a question to the OP. If you were running Freenas, was the data in question stored on ZFS? If so, were snapshots enabled? You might be able to roll back and recover if so.

    Fresh 3.0 Install: root password not accepted

    Any live cd will do the trick. Boot it and mount your /dev/sdX (X being the drive that the machine boots from and is usually sda). eg mount /dev/sda /mnt CD into the mountpoint. eg cd /mnt cd into the etc directory. eg cd etc (you can combine the two steps into cd /mnt/etc) type in pico...

    Simple petition to PVE team...

    I normally just unselect the current day of the week rather than delete and rebuild. Not that I disagree that it would be a useful feature.

    Influence guest from host

    Several things come to mind. Have you thought about using CIFS shares to: create a semaphore (if file exists do this command then delete the file) create a drop file (if file exists open it and do what it says then delete it) look into running your scripts via a service then use net rpc...

    How to move VMs from one NAS to another without complete restore?

    I haven't done this but looking at it, doesn't your iscsi targets reside on a zfs volume? If it does, couldn't you just create a snapshot routine and then replicate from one freenas to the other (I assume you are using the same nas type)?

    Hardware Recommendation / Raid controller with operational web interface on proxmox

    Re: Hardware Recommendation / Raid controller with operational web interface on proxm I run 2 High Point 4320 using SATA drives. It supports SAS also. It has a separate ethernet port and is web accessible. I have been using these for 2 years without issue.

    FreeNAS on Proxmox VM

    What disk type do you have the boot partition set to? Virtio is not a good choice BTW.

    Konsole > Flicker

    I should have included that if you are in production and need access to the desktop of the Zentyal machine ( I can get what I need done with ssh and the web interface) you can install X2go or similar. The screen does not flicker on this type of remote terminal.

    Konsole > Flicker

    A common problem in the 2.X series of Zentyal. Either remove LXDE and use Gnome or something else. The problem is cured in the 3.X series so if you are still setting up and not in production yet, I suggest you install Zentyal 3.02 instead. It does the same thing under Xen or plain vanilla...

    Use of LVM in Virtualization

    Back up the VM first. re-size the lvm volume. Expand the VM filesystem using resize2fs within the running VM. Straight forward and easy. Don't skip backing it up first or you may lose data. All of this is assuming a linux VM. It is similar for WinXX machines.

    Use of LVM in Virtualization

    To clarify maybe, LVM is a good thing to store your virtual machines on. Using lvm inside your virtual machines may have some performance penalties in my opinion but it DOES work. Using LVM to store a virtual machine improves performance.

    Snapshot removal fails after backup

    We only have two servers here but were plagued with the problem on a fairly regular basis. The problems have completely disappeared. I heavily recommend upgrading.

    Proxmox and KVM? same thing?

    A couple of things, I converted from Ubuntu/kvm last year and yes it is straight forward to make the switch. I used lvm disk images so it was easy as stopping the machine and doing a dd to export the raw data off of the lvm device to backup. Install proxmox and configure the new vm setup so...

    Access VMs outside of the network without assigning a public IP

    Depending on what you ultimately want to connect with (web browser etc) would determine what you would use. Web is done with a reverse proxy. Most port based services would be done via port forwarding. Running a VM as a dedicated gateway might be advisable. Could you give us a little more...

    Create KVM with real LVM volume as hard disk (NOT image!)

    I am also in a small "quasi government" IT shop. For my use case I found KVM to give superior performance to Xen. Proxmox is an ideal solution for HA on a budget. Spend the money on a real raid controller. It vastly improves things. I was able to build 2 servers w/16 cores+48g of ram +...
