HowTo upgrade a running Proxmox VE 0.9

  1. Stop all running VM´s
  2. Review and correct /etc/apt/sources.list, should look like this:
    Code:
    deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian etch main
    # PVE packages provided by proxmox.com
    deb ftp://pve.proxmox.com/debian etch pve
    # security updates
    deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main
  3. Update your apt repository:
    Code:
    apt-get update
  4. Download and install the new packages:
    Code:
    apt-get dist-upgrade
  5. Reboot
    Code:
    reboot
  6. Review the settings of all your VM´s
HowTo upgrade a running Proxmox VE 0.9 Cluster

  1. If the described update process above updates SSH keys, the Cluster cannot sync anymore.
  2. Remove the cluster config on the master and all nodes:
    Code:
    rm /etc/pve/cluster.cfg
  3. On the master, recreate the cluster:
    Code:
    pveca -c
  4. On the nodes, remove the known-hosts file:
    Code:
    rm /root/.ssh/known-hosts
  5. Join the nodes to the master:
    Code:
    pveca -a -h master-IP

Just for information, if you're on an ovh server ... don't upgrade !!
All my vm doesn't start ! :(

That is, don't upgrade the kernel. You should still be able to upgrade pve-manager, but I'm testing it by myself.

Fantastic, just upgraded but it does not resolve the vlan dependencies
Installed vlan through testing (debian testing i mean) and the pve-manager istallation
is ok.

Consideration:
1) smp rotext instead of number (tested with number into the code and it works correctly)
Why "rotext"????
2) beautiful disk management with the scsi and virtio...
3) networking is a charme, multiple bridges and a vlan foreach bridge.
4) if possible adding even the smb server as shared disk would be very interesting (for me)
5) the mac adresses given to the interfaces are not in the range of the assigned IANA's
addresses for the qemu interfaces.... Or may be i'm confusing something...
6) the interface is very very usable
7) thanks for the install parameters

In september i'll make a course with 20 persons and i will use 20 machines with 2 4core
processors with VT enabled for simulating a real environment....

Using Proxmox of course

Big work, thanks

So, which release can we expect the VZ live migration to function? I noticed its completely disabled now.

its unstable with kvm, and unsupported by openvz 2.6.24
5) the mac adresses given to the interfaces are not in the range of the assigned IANA's

Those are local macs.

great :)

We decided to disable it becaues it is still not 100% stable.

We will enable it again wen the openvz kernel is more stable.

You can alway use the command line to set the -smp option:

Code:
qm set VMID --smp 2

Its only disabled on the web interface.

Why?????

You can alway use the command line to set the -smp option:

Code:
qm set VMID --smp 2
Its only disabled on the web interface.

- Dietmar

I just put
smp: 2
into qemu-server/WMID.conf
and it works.

Why not permit to change the CPUs if creating/modifying a KVM-machine?

I think that when we have a good interface available... usign the
interface should not be only an option.
ProxMox is a good interface.

And then... command line BLEAH!

I use always command line, and when i say always is even for driving a car
but in this case...

I don't find the difference, via cmd line or in the config i can use smp
but from interface is not possible due to ...

Anyway tx,

Ok, it's unstable but the parameter exists and you cannot
remove parameters every day it becomes unstable or???

I think that the interface should do it's work: interface.

For avoiding convulsion (confusion) i think it's better to set
an
Unsupported section
with the "unstable parameters"

the use of this parameters will be only choosed by administrators
that knows what they are doing.

But, i repeat, the interface i s the interface and not the "parameter"
blocker.

The good administrator can choose whenever use it or not.

But probably my vision is too much different.

In any case, ok.
With or without smp parameter Proxmox is a great product.

Any news for the language file????

Though now I am getting problems adding a new VM :(

/usr/bin/pvectl qmcreate 107 --mem 512 --disk 32 --onboot yes --name bslert1064-01 --cdrom cdrom --network model=rtl8139,tap --disktype ide --ostype l26
Unknown option: disk
Unknown option: network
Unknown option: disktype
unable to apply VM settings -


Yet:

proxmox:/etc# pvectl --help
pvectl <command> <vmid> [parameters]
pvectl [vzcreate|vzset] <vmid> (openvz commands)
--ostemplate NAME specify OS template
--mem MBYTES memory in MB (64 - 8192)
--disk GBYTE disk space in GB (0.5 - 1024)
--cpus N cpus (1 - 4)
--cpuunits N cpu units (8 - 500000)
--onboot [yes|no] start at boot
pvectl [qmcreate|qmset] <vmid> (qemu-server commands)
--media NAME installation media
--mem MBYTES memory in MB (64 - 8192)
--disk GBYTE disk space in GB (0.5 - 1024)
--cpuunits N cpu units (8 - 500000)
--onboot [yes|no] start at boot
--ostype NAME specify OS type
pvectl print <vmid>
 
If i extract all the labels should i put the translation
into a .po file and then recompile it with with the locales
commands? Like msgfmt???

Basically yes. I have the complete framework here, but currently no time to include it. I will release it as soon as the web interface is more stable (before 1.0).

we changed a lot in KVM.
see

Code:
man qemu-server
 
/usr/bin/pvectl qmcreate 107 --mem 512 --disk 32 --onboot yes --name bslert1064-01 --cdrom cdrom --network model=rtl8139,tap --disktype ide --ostype l26

That command uses old syntax, that is no longer supported.

use the qm command instead.

qm create 107 --mem 512 --ide0 32 --onboot yes --name bslert1064-01 --cdrom cdrom --vlan0=rtl8139 --ostype l26

see the manual page for the new options:

# man qemu-server
 
Also, you seem to have an old version of pvectl.

# dpkg -l pve-manager

should show "pve-manager 0.9-4"

What version do you use?
