    How can I expand my drive space?

    I am going to assume this is a Windows VM running in Proxmox. You can use the disk management utility to expand the C drive onto the other disk. The best way would be to create a new larger disk and image the C drive to this new disk, then replace the old disk with the new larger one. Also...

    CentOS 6.5 running on Proxmox VE 1.x

    I just wanted to let everyone know who still might be running VE 1.x. There seems to be an issue with networking in CentOS 6.5 with the OpenVZ kernel 2.6.18, which PVE 1.x runs. PVE 2.x & 3.x are not affected by this, they run the 2.6.32 RHEL6 kernel. The recommended permanent fix is to...

    Back again to proxmox 2.3. Updates until when?

    Debian has not set a end of life for squeeze yet, everyone is estimating early 2014. Proxmox has EOL'ed version 2.x. The last update from the Proxmox team was a kernel update back in May. I doubt there will be any other updates. (from Proxmox) Debian will continue to release security updates as...

    Alow additonal user to use vzctl enter

    You could use the sudo command and the sudoers file to allow other users to run vzctl, but they would be able to use the entire command, vzctl destroy for example.

    Templates impossible to use

    Just use the templates from the OpenVZ team, they are kept more current then the Proxmox provided templates. I have also noticed the naming restrictions on 1.x don't seem to apply anymore, I can use the default filename from openvz, and they work. Here is the URL...

    Installing Proxmox VE v1.9 post Lenny retirement

    Nobody should be doing new installs of Proxmox 1.9, it is end of life. Any new/old servers are just sitting around waiting for some security bug/flaw/hack to appear in postfix/apache2/etc.

    How do you get email notification to actually work?

    The most common problems I see are: 1) No reverse DNS on the IP the server is using. 2) Invalid hostname (proxmox.localdomain) Add "myhostname = proxmox.mydomain.com" to /etc/mail/main.cf 3) No valid DNS setup for proxmox hostname (proxmox.mydomain.com A 1.2.3.4)

They all come with a built in card called the roamer, it allows remote console access, power control, and limited monitoring over a telnet connection.

    Where are the backup config files stored?

    Sounds like you clicked the "all" checkbox in the backup configuration screen, then deleted something, even though the cron job just stays "--all" somehow it remembers the VEIDs of the deleted machines. Just reopen the backup job, uncheck "all" .... save ... recheck "all" .... fixed.

    migrated container missing from web interface list

    Yes, that is one of the first things I looked at. I just checked again, I had the setting as "pve-auto", its supposed to be "pve.auto". It is still not showing up in the web interface list. I restarted vz & pvedaemon again just to be sure (after the pve-auto/pve.auto change) Here is the...
