Hello!

I have a straingh problem. Every VM can migrate without problmens (e.g. dd oder copy raw file). But with this Windows Guest i always get the microsoft recovery console. Windows is fixing some problmes and auto reboot. After that the recovery starts again ...

other guests are centos, debian and ubuntu -> no problmes here

any hints?

Greetz,

Sabine

Hi,
and which cpu-type do you use inside the VM? Can you post the VM-config?

i tried also virtio (virtio was the normal mode for the guest)
cloning with fsarchiver

thanks :-)

Hi,
you pve 3.0 system is outdated, you should update! (some peaple have kernel panics with kernel > 2.6.32-27- perhaps update and also intall the -27 kernel for booting in case of trouble).
It's not an gurantee that you VM run's after that, but Proxmox VE 3.1 has cpu-flag optimations ( see http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Roadmap#Proxmox_VE_3.1 ).

You wrote your old system was an pve 2.3?! The roadmap say that since version the cpu is KVM64 as default CPU type (previously qemu64) .
Perhaps you should test the old one?!

ok i will try this tomorrow
