Add new machine

[Inferno]

Hi!

How can I add new machine to existing VE2 web interface?
I'm going migrate from this existing machine to another... but I don't know the best way to do this.
Can you help me please?

you talk about a second Proxmox VE host? see http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_VE_2.0_Cluster

 

[Inferno]

yes, but:

All nodes must be in the same network as it uses IP Multicast to communicate between nodes (See also Corosync Cluster Engine). Note: Some switches do not support IP multicast by default and must be manually enabled first. See multicast notes for more information about multicast.

both servers are located in difficult data centers, so they aren't in the same network

Theoreticaly, you may use EoIP (Ethernet Over IP) tunel to make cluster beleive, that all nodes in the same ethernet segment.
But, at real world, I thik it's too complex.

just to note, clusters in different locations was never a supported configuration in 1.x, (but yes it worked most times). And for 2.0 there are also workarounds (unsupported).

You can use backup/restore (vzdump).

You can use backup/restore (vzdump).

I can also manual copy raw-image file to another machine?

Hi,
of course yes. Copy also the config and you can start the VM on the other node.

that is not cluster , is Move/transfer vm between proxmox servers .

in V1.X we add cluster the the node by thier public ip , so it work perfectly , even if in defirent location , stop/start/create/delete work like a charm . that was the best advantage for chose proxmox .

now in version 2 , is beatifull to see new feature . but the cluster in defirent location was not supporter . and the requirement for some is defficult for somes .


why not to add the old mecanisme of cluster . other compititor software do the same now .
