HI,

Live Migration: Works Perfectly
Snapshot backup: Works perfectly
Resize HD: Works
Dynamic Memory : works

Thanks

falkmalko · Mar 4, 2013

Great Work

downloading now

whilst I know it can be done via command line thanks to Udo

I think a useful feature to consider for future versions would be the ability to create 'dummy' bridges via the Gui much like you can with Vmware and xenserver for multiple internal networks.

If I understand correctly, note that you can already do it, just create one or more dummy bridge (i.e. vmbr90) with no physical interface set. Then you can use that bridge for the VM you want that will be connected through that "virtual switch" among them, but not with the rest of your network. If you need to have them communicate with your network, just create a vm with 2 interfaces, one linked to vmbr0 and the other as vmbr90, and configure it as a router (or use a specific GNU/Linux distro like zeroshell or Ipcop).
Best regards

falkmalko · Mar 4, 2013

thanks mmenaz, you understood correct.

When creating vmbr90 I have to put an IP and netmask in before I can save the change?

mo_ · Mar 4, 2013

EDIT: The following (italic) part has been proven to be not true. So to answer your question: No, you do not have to input IP/netmask/gateway there nor should you (for what you want to do with it)

the webinterface unfortunately requires you to enter an ip address for bridges, yes. If however you skip the middle man and directly add the bridge to /etc/network/interfaces, you should be fine.

auto vmbr90
iface vmbr90 inet static
bridge_ports none
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0

also, found 2 typos and it didnt feel right to edit "your" road map, so Ill just leave them here instead:

Code:

added RDB (ceph) support on GUI

should be:

Code:

RADOS Block Device

Code:

enable CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED (also update corosync of you install this kernel)

should be

Code:

s/of/if/

Related question: would you be okay with the community fixing "simple" typos like these in "your" official wiki entries without asking?

tom · Mar 4, 2013

thanks for reporting and yes, pls help to keep the wiki documentation up2date. almost all articles are open for doing changes.

only some are protected, like the startpage.

you found a bug, please file it at https://bugzilla.proxmox.com

creating brigdes without IP should be possible.

I checked this again and I was able to create a bridge without any addresses. So either something weird must have happened when I last tried that (its been a while) or it has been changed since then.
Only thing I noticed is that ipv6 entries are still being removed by the webinterface:

Code:

--- /etc/network/interfaces	2012-12-26 13:11:41.000000000 +0100
+++ /etc/network/interfaces.new	2013-03-04 16:46:45.000000000 +0100

@@ -20,9 +20,9 @@
 	post-up sysctl -w net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables=1
 	post-up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/vmbr0/proxy_ndp

-iface vmbr0 inet6 static
- 	pre-up modprobe ipv6
-        address 2a01:XXX:BEEF
-        netmask 64
-        gateway 2a01:XXX::1

I know that ipv6 support is yet to be implemented in several places. I also know how the support policy works, so Im merely raising awareness to this.

Thanks very much, installing now!!

Does the new backup only works with CT's running on local storage?
Every CT I have running on shared NFS fail with the following message:
INFO: CTID 103 exist mounted running
INFO: status = running
INFO: mode failure - unable to detect lvm volume group
INFO: trying 'suspend' mode instead

The new backup is for KVM only (not for containers).

falkmalko · Mar 5, 2013

I see this is now fixed. Thanks, as minor a fix this may have been it now enables me to show proxmox ve off

and get others on board.
