    Startup Order

    Hello, I don't really understand how the startup order in proxmox works. For example, if I have 4 VMs. VM1: order=1, up=300 VM2: order=1, up=300 VM3: order=any VM4: order=any Will VM1 and VM2 be started concurrent and after 5 minutes VM3 and VM4? Or will Proxmox start VM1 and then wait 5...

    Hi, Is there a possibility to suspend a KVM VM to disk? Especially when rebooting the host it would be nice not to shutdown/powerup the VMs, but suspend/resume them.

    KSM behaviour on reboot

    Hello, I have one Proxmox node that uses KSM heavily (118GB assigned on 96GB physical RAM). Recently I had to reboot that node and after the reboot the VMs started up and began to eat up the RAM quickly. cat /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run showed KSM running, but pages_shared and pages_sharing ware...

    HA Failover Logic

    Hello! Can anybody tell me how proxmox distributes VMs in case of a failed cluster node? For example if I have a 3 node cluster (Node1-3). Node1 and 2 have several VMs (RAM is nearly full), Node 3 is empty. If Node1 fails, will proxmox relocate the failed VMs on Node2 (probably extending...

    Poor LVM Performance

    Hi! I installed 1.7 on two nodes and updated to Kernel 2.6.35 (as I plan to use KVM only). My storage is a large 1.8TB FC Array. I created a PV and VG (VM_Data) and added the storage as LVM group in Proxmox. Problem is that I got very poor I/O performace in the KVM VMs. So I added a test LV...
