    Full Host Backup - What To Exclude?

    Using Proxmox 3. My overall goal is that I am going to use MondoRescue to generate a relatively full backup of the host, but not the running VMs. I want to be able to do a quick restore of the host then copy the vzdumped VMs back into play; I don't want to go the "just reinstall Proxmox...

    Convert OVA to working Proxmox VM

    Never mind. It's as simple as: # qemu-img convert ZEG-2.0.0rc1.ova -O qcow2 ZEG-2.0.0rc1.qcow2 I had split open the .ova into the .vmdk and .ovf files, and then followed the wiki for vmdk migration, but I could not convert the .vmdk. For some reason, the .vmdk alone caused qemu-img to choke...

    DNS Server On Host

    Is it a bad idea to enable serving DNS from a Proxmox host? or, should it be a guest system function?

    Cannot log into Proxmox web interface

    Yeah, wouldn't you know it. The controller provides two jacks, and one seems to have intermittent issues. I can ping out, but with heavy packet loss.

    Cannot log into Proxmox web interface

    Fresh install of Proxmox v1.9 on an Asus KGPE-D16. There are two LAN connectors; the board has an Intel 82574L controller. I am connected to the LAN1 connector which is also eth0. Here's /etc/network/interfaces: auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet manual iface eth1 inet manual auto...

    Proxmox, Bare-Metal Install, Layout

    Yes. The raid drives are Linux software raid. I was more interested in how the bare metal install worked (or didn't) with existing partitions during install.

    Proxmox, Bare-Metal Install, Layout

    So, if I understand correctly, your only choice is to select one of the available physical disks? It erases and re-partitions according to a set 'recipe"? It won't read any existing partition scheme? And, if so, I should probably use a new drive, install, and subsequently add the RAID10 set...

    Proxmox, Bare-Metal Install, Layout

    How does the bare metal install figure out how to use available HDs during install? What does it do? I have a new machine that has four 1TB SATA HDs. It currently runs Fedora 12 but I;d like to install Proxmox on it. It has the following partitioning: - four partitions, one on each drive, setup...

    Permanent VNC Server for KVM machines ?

    I would love a more permanent solution myself. I find that my Windows virtual machines, when accessed via the java applet through the website suffer from an occasional stutter on my Vista x64 (now Windows 7) workstation. If I kick off a one-time VNC session, and access via RealVNC, I don't get...

    External VNC viewer?

    Anyone ever try xinetd, since it is already installed in the PVE? I tried to create a file in /etc/xinetd.d: service vnc-200 { socket_type = stream protocol = tcp port = 9000 wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/qm...

    Minor UI Quibbles

    Proxmox team: After having uploaded a bunch of ISOs to PVE, I noticed that the installation media drop-down does not sort the ISOs, which makes it a linear scan to find the ISO you want. Also, a period in the VM name will cause the name to be truncated in the Virtual Machine general listing...

    Installation Question for VE GUI

    There are none, strictly-speaking. KVM does not have "templates" like OpenVZ. A KVM VM is like a real machine. An OpenVZ VM is like carving out a "logical section" of the host OS. Given that a KVM machine is like a real machine, you end up with a virtual disk to which you go through the same...

    Installation Question for VE GUI

    Two points: - the templates put out by the Proxmox team for OpenVZ containers work of a somewhat minimalistic approach, like the host OS. You won't get many frills. Tom's recommendation to create a KVM that will act pretty much like a real machine (except for how you "see the screen") is a...

    Installation Question for VE GUI

    From the web interface, create a KVM virtual machine. After creating it, start the VM, and open the VNC console. Make sure you have a distro CD in your CDROM, like CentOS. In the VNC window, you should be able to see the CentOS installer. Install the OS and allow the VM to reboot itself. (Remove...

    Getting BitTorrent On PVE

    As an example of another thread I am in, here's a blog piece I wrote on adding a BitTorrent client in the host. Basically, I put this together from pieces from the net. http://paultiseo.wordpress.com/2009/03/01/adding-bittorrent-client-to-proxmox-host/ It should probably go into the wiki too...
