Curious Proxmox behavior.

[TiagoRF]

Hello, and congrats for this piece of awesome software.

A co-worker was searching for a different virtualization solution and found Proxmox, and straight up he decided to implement this solution.

Time went by and we did, we actually configured Proxmox in 2 DELL servers, running 4 machines, a DC, MS FTM, MS EXCHANGE 2010, and a regular fileserver.

Each server has 8GB of Ram, so that means we'll have 2 vservers per server, with 3,5gb of ram allocated.

Some days ago, we rebooted the DC and EX at the very same time, and upon boot, both got stuck and barely moved from the boot screen.

We stopped both, and started the DC, and then (1min +) we started EX, and obviously nothing wrong happened, boot was fast.

Does anyone have experiencied the same? It's quite bizarre.

Thanks in advance,

Regards

Tiago

what storage do you use for the VM´s? do you use virtio drivers inside?

Hi!

We're using Dell R610, 4x500GB disks in RAID-10 (internal)

No virtio drivers for network, just E1000 (with intel specific drivers installed after the OS installation)

Thanks
