Problems with Proxmox VE 4

[zigzaplane]

It's been a couple of years since I last played with Proxmox. I thought I'd give it a try again and went about installing Proxmox VE 4 onto a Dell CS24 Server. The hardware is as follows:

• Dual Quad Core 2.5Ghz CPU's
• 16GB of RAM
• 3x1TB SATA Drives in Raid 1 with Hot Spare configured using the included LSI RAID controller.

My problems thus far are as follows:

• Web Interface seems to freeze up and be inaccessible from time to time. Rebooting tends to fix this.
• Sometimes, upon rebooting the server, I get errors when trying to connect to Virtual Machines using the VNC client in the web browser. If I reboot again it seems to work.

Anyone have any thoughts for making this stable? Where would I go to find logs about these issues without the web GUI?

Strange, upfront easiest possible solution: did you try to clear the browser cache? What browser do you use, how do you connect to the PVE host (LAN, ...) and can you describe the freezes a bit better?

• Sometimes, upon rebooting the server, I get errors when trying to connect to Virtual Machines using the VNC client in the web browser. If I reboot again it seems to work.

To be clear, when you reboot the VM or the physical host? Can you try to give me steps to reproduce that? thanks!

Looking in the syslogs with the journalctl tool is quite pleasant.
