hi folks,
this is just a note on something odd that i came across - in case someone else or myself in the future, has something similar.
i have create a backup job/schedule on my Proxmox installation and i have also used this back ups as a way to create new machines from them (as a template)
they worked fine.
but since i had to reinstall this machine due to disk failure. i am not able to restore the backups anymore.
this installation was done using debian lenny netinstall disk x64
and information on proxmox installation here:
http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Lenny
when checking the proxmox installation this is what i got:
note the packages that were not installed correctly.
this was corrected with:
after this i got:
*BUT* there is one thing missing there:
ksm-control-daemonas per documentation here:
http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/KSM
it should be supported (and installed?) on this system; i manually corrected with:
and
and then after running pveversion -v again, i notice that i did not have pve-qemu-kvm showing on the list - *BUT* - the web interface had KVM as an option for new VMS, and it was really installed on the system.
i am a bit concerned with the state of this installation.
how can i make sure that all dependencies are installed correctly - without reinstalling the system?
thanks,
