    Restoring from backup to a new node after a cluster node failure

    I have a cluster of two Proxmox PVE nodes in which one node has catastrophically failed. There is one VM that I need to recover from that node. It was not in shared storage, it was in local storage. However, I have an encrypted backup of it stored on a Proxmox Backup Server. What is the correct...

    [SOLVED] PBS web interface "login failed" - but works from command line

    This spontaneously fixed itself after doing nothing but closing and re-opening the page. Possibly a cookie issue? Anyway, sorry for the noise.

    [SOLVED] PBS web interface "login failed" - but works from command line

    Hi, What could be the cause of a failed web login to PBS for root using PAM authentication, when logins from the command line work using the same password? My /etc/proxmox-backup/user.cfg contains: user: root@pam comment Superuser I cannot see any relevant log lines (there are failed...

    KVM and apparmor

    Hi, Proxmox uses apparmor to confine its LXC containers, but it doesn't do so for KVM virtual machines. Libvirt (Proxmox's open source competitor, kind-of) does do so. Would this be worth adding to a new Proxmox release, for additional security? I wanted to post here about it before adding...

    Backup error -5 input/output error

    I don't think so, 4094 is the number of 4Mb chunks (PEs) that you've got. It's not the total free space in those PEs. The total is the figure that comes after that (15.99Gb). Interestingly yours is the same as mine. So you should rather try changing it to 15000 or less. (But what do I know...

    Backup error -5 input/output error

    Thanks for the help. I don't have a test server and would rather not go to the trouble of reinstalling to increase the free PE size, unless I'm sure your suggestion would work. I'm not saying it won't, but I need to understand why the free PE size should matter. What is it used for? It is...

    Backup error -5 input/output error

    This didn't work for me. I changed my size variable to 15000 which was about the amount of free PE that I had as per vgdisplay: --- Volume group --- VG Name pve System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 1 Metadata Sequence No 204 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX...

    [SOLVED] Console broken after upgrade to Proxmox 4.1

    My consoles don't work any more after my upgrade from Proxmox 3 -> 4. When I use Firefox, I get a blank console window that hangs on "Authenticating using scheme: 2". When I use Safari, I additionally see a dialog which you can see attached. This is for my two VMs. For my one CT, it doesn't...

    Re: grub2 update problems for 3.4 (GUI only), leading to not correctly installed pack I want to share my experiences too, because they are subtly different from some of the others here. I had to upgrade Proxmox because one of my openvz containers was failing to boot, and updating from the...
