    ScaleIO on Proxmox

    P.L., these were my thoughts as well. "Integration" in the true sense of the word is unlikely due to points made above, but happy co-existence and symbiosis seems pretty straightforward as another posix-type storage option for block images. The .apt support is there in the free downloads (just...

    Are custom CPU type arguments possible?

    Thanks, Udo. I assume that goes in the <VMID>.conf file? I also found that I need serial console access (as opposed to emulated VGA. I was able to make both work properly simply by launching the VMs from CLI, but having it be accessible from the UI would be a boon for management simplicity (part...

    Are custom CPU type arguments possible?

    Hi, I'm dealing with a commercial kvm-compatible VNF image that I would like to host on a PVE cluster. I've been able to get it to boot on kvm/qemu/libvirt setup on an ubuntu host, but seem to be unable to pass the proper CPU options to the VM under PVE. I would like to do the following: --cpu...

    ScaleIO on Proxmox

    Hi, Tom. I don't think anyone would expect Proxmox or any other purely open source product to adopt support for a closed product. EMC has done a fairly good job with the product as a steward after its purchase making scaleio MORE accessible to the linux community. I've been a FOSS user/advocate...

    ScaleIO on Proxmox

    Given that the ScaleIO system is closed-source and could not be "integrated" into the proxmox environment, there's no reason that it has to be incompatible. I'm looking into trying the same thing based on experiences with CEPH's complexity and the shortfalls of its "one product does everything"...

    Storage Feature Request.

    Yes, just like that, but with two. The latter. I read the man page and wiki :) If you look at the diff, that's what it does. That is the way that every sizeable ceph install I've ever heard of is done (and it's just a good idea to separate the replication from the client mounts). Dan

    Storage Feature Request.

    Actually, nevermind. Here's the diff if you'd like it: >:/usr/share/perl5/PVE/API2# diff Ceph.pm Ceph.pm.orig 687,693c687 < description => "Use specific network for ceph related traffic", < type => 'string', format => 'CIDR', < optional => 1, < maxLength => 128, < }, <...

    Storage Feature Request.

    Hi, after running the ceph setup a few times, I wondered why there was no "cluster network" setup in the install scripts. I found where it's instantiated in the perl module but it just gets the same network address as the "public" address. Granted, this can be edited (and I have) manually, but...

    Proxmox 4 CEPH won't start after cold reboot

    The monitors were so badly out of sync (not time-wise, but otherwise) and I'd tried various things to fix them (exporting maps, editing them, importing, them, etc.). I finally had to call the cluster a loss. I had very little there that wasn't recoverable. I'll need to setup some real-world...

    Proxmox 4 CEPH won't start after cold reboot

    I have a 3 node PVE4.0 cluster running ceph with 3 mons and 18 OSDs (6 per host). I had a situation where all three hosts powercycled at the same time. When they came back, none of the ceph processed would start correctly. Can someone point me to a procedure to get a cluster started correctly...

    [#818] non-PAM Permissions for Ceph in PVE4

    I've been able to wrestle the PVE permissions system to do most everything I've needed. I'm stuck on how to grant access to ceph, though. As a "pve realm" user that has "Administrator" privileges, I get: Permission check failed (user != root@pam) (403) when attempting to show any ceph attributes...

    PVE 4.0 HA graphical weirdness under chrome

    I agree it's almost assuredly a graphical thing. I need to do some example scenarios to narrow things down. Is there a reliable way to shut down JUST the ui on a given node in cluster+HA setup? I'd like to see if something as simple as (lack of) persistence of cookies, etc. across web server...

    PVE 4.0 HA graphical weirdness under chrome

    I noticed something interesting after setting up my PVE4.0 (nonpaid with latest public updates) cluster with Ceph and software HA (which is working impressively well, BTW). If I add a client VM to HA monitoring, then select it in the web GUI, I cannot click-away from it. In other words, anything...

    Nested virtualization in PVE 4B2?

    I've been able to get the VM to boot under serveral different variations of the cpu type, including kvm64, etc. As long as I specify the KVM extension on CLI (I'm doing it on CLI vs. GUI so I can mess with the args more easily), I see them in the guest VM once booted. When I specify "host"...

    Nested virtualization in PVE 4B2?

    Here's the output from a successfully running version of the same guest VM on an adjacent server (not identical, but same class) running the latest patched trusty: qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -name VSRX-15-2 -S -machine pc-i440fx-trusty,accel=kvm,usb=off -cpu...

    Nested virtualization in PVE 4B2?

    The hypervisor machine is a quad sandybridge CPU E5-2640 (24 total cores). The guest is KVM on windriver linux (real-time optimized for network functions) http://www.windriver.com/announces/open_virtualization/. I'm not sure of the exact kernel it's based on, but from the vendor who packages...

    Nested virtualization in PVE 4B2?

    Yes, already did that before I finished the post. The behavior is no different. I think the (outer) client VM is a wind-river embedded linux build. It's certified to run on straight up ubuntu or the Juniper Cloud platform (Openstack derived). I suspect there's a simple incompatability between...

    Nested virtualization in PVE 4B2?

    Hi. I have only a single PVE layer. The client VM itselt (a juniper firewall) actually has a linux hypervisor and virtio I/O with a JunOS (BSD) client VM that does the routing-specific problem. Here's the version specs on PVE: root@psp6hypd01:/etc/pve/qemu-server# pveversion -v proxmox-ve...

    Nested virtualization in PVE 4B2?

    I'm running PVE 4 beta2 and am trying to enable nested virtualization. I've already verified that the underlying OS is correct: root@psp6hypd01:/etc/pve/qemu-server# cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested Y in my VM config, I have: args: -enable-kvm (and) cpu: SandyBridge...

    Q in Q on PVE 4

    That might make management a lot easier, yes. Currently, the interfaces just show as "unknown". I don't want to alter default behavior, or course, but adding flexibility might be nice. Dan
