I have two containers, on two hosts. They are paired application servers. Approximately one hour ago the application reported failures. Looking at the containers I find that one cannot execute common unix commands (example vi). The other I cannot console in - 'vzctl enter $VMID' puts me right...

OS: Windows 8. Browser: IE 10 Java Plugin: I don't know. That last needs some explanation. I'm mostly a linux guy now, and haven't messed with Windows on a desktop since XP. Could not get VM console and java to play on my real desktop, so the first thing I did was install a Windows 8 guest on...

I'm installing a few Windows 8 workstations and Server 2012 as VMs. I can connect to them 'ok' using the console. However the default screen resolution is 'too small' - some of the install dialog is hidden to the right and below of the frame. How can I change the default 'screen resolution'...

Im guessing its some kind of niche alternative to puppet? I don't know about niche (smile) but Ansible is an alternative to Puppet, or Chef. If I recall it debuted after Puppet hit the big time: solving the same problem using a different approach. Essentially, if one can SSH to a host, one...

Building on past experience and using previously created playbooks, with Ansible (version 1.1) we've (really my devops partner) created a process that creates containers from defined settings - template, ram, disk size, etc. We do this by calling pvesh like so pvesh create...

Excellent! Thank you. FWIW my process is script as outlined in post script uses predefined IP/gateway/netmask info to build a temp file - /tmp/scriptname.txt script executes scp to copy /tmp/scriptname.txt > hypervisor:/var/lib/vz/root/${VMID}/etc/network/interfaces script reboots container...

What's the best method to configure eth0 for a new container? It's easy enough to do this via GUI but I really want to do this by script. So far I can create nodes using pvesh. Assuming I want a container ID of '101' pvesh create /nodes/prox_host_1/openvz -vmid 101 -hostname bob (redacted...

We are new to prox in production, and clustering. We may be operating under some bad assumptions. Generally we are operating with a model where there is a logical break between 'services provided for (and by) the containers' and 'hyper visor stuff'. A network bit running on a hyper visor...

I have three prox hosts in a cluster, ProxMox 3.1. They're in a rack at a colocation site. I wish to have some containers without a public IP route to the internet via gateway, for software updates, NTP and so on. Before Prox, I'd standup a linux host, use iptables masquerade and we're good...

Hi, I'm working for a startup. We're ready to move from AWS to our own self-hosted solution: three hypervisors running Prox, SAN storage. My partner here has been running Prox for a few months in our lab environment. I've come to appreciate it's value, as well. Last Friday a wrinkle was...
