KVM Templates on Proxmox?

[ejc317]

Hi,

We currently are testing out a number of cloud platforms (cloudstack, proxmox, onapp, opennebula, etc) - we are coupling this with OpenFiler and OSNexus / Quantastor.

Just realized that one of the key differences is KVM templates. Is this likely in the near future? Otherwise we'll probably have to go with an alternative

Also, we tried to sign up for professional support but no response. Anyone know how to go about this

How did you tried this? Just go to https://shop.maurer-it.com and buy what you need, Seems you missed this step.?

No need for sarcasm - I wrote you guys a few emails?

 

[tom]

yes, your are a very active poster.

if you write that you signed up for commercial support and you got no answer I have to say that this is just not the truth - our commercial support team have fast response times and you cannot write here that you have to wait for days.

"writing emails" is not signing up for support. as a moderator here, I just need to need to comment on that.

I never said I signed up for support - I emailed you guys directly - we're more than happy to pay / partner up. Like I said in the email, we're trialing the software and comparing it to other cloud orchestration platforms and are on the cusp of making it work (Although the nodes just crashed and ccman cannot restart because it was in the midst of updating a cluster config and we can''t salvage it so we're re-installing)

We need to make sure the software is completely worthy of a full hosting production environment before deploying

as far as I understand your it looks like a not working cluster communication. but if you set this up probably in the recommended way, its very stable and reliable.

I've just re-set it up completely. The issue though is the potential for the entire cluster to break.

So the error we just had was the cluster.conf didn't propogate across nodes and when the server came back - cman wouldn't start because the cluster.conf was different on the other nodes ... is there a fix for something as catastrophic as this? there's nothing on the drives but if we had to reinstall that wouldn't work ...

As for paid support how much is it for say 4 nodes (In a test environment?) Is it $119 * 2 per node? So $250 of support for a year? We just want to have you guys help us set it up so that we can put it into our working hosting environment - most of our clients have been asking for cloud and we want to start it off right

 

[ejc317]

In any case, will there be KVM templates in the future?

 

[tom]

yes, KVM templates are discussed many times already and you can expect them in the future.

 

[ejc317]

So this is the biggest problem we see so far - templates for KVM

WE have a bunch of qcow and .raw.img templates - what is the best way to upload them? Write a script and have them copied into the respective folders? or should we use something like kickstart? (never used it on debian)

a workaround is working with backup/restore.
