I have a few questions, being completely new to Proxmox. I have been running OpenVZ for about 18 months, but I did so on a hand-built Debian squeeze box. I was using WebVZ as a web gui. Well, I am in the process of repurposing my servers, and I migrated off of that machine to make it a dedicated storage server, and while Proxmox is really growing on me, I have a couple of questions.
1. I migrated all of my templates over from my previous box, however, they are not showing up properly. I rsynced /var/lib/vz/template/cache between old and new. I had created a Debian lenny, squeeze and sid minimal image, with the changes that I need for my environment. They worked great on the old box. However, when they are displayed on the templates page, all of them are --unknown-- in the description, and I can't manage them like I can the containers. And when I try to build a container, I can only select the Ubuntu 9.10 minimal template (which doesn't work thanks to changes in the boot process and upstart). How can I more fully integrate the images? Download to my workstation then use the upload function?
2. Is there a way to add another admin user to the web interface? I was able to in webvz.
3. I need to migrate these OpenVZ containers yet again. The current box is only a stepping stone to their final destination. I plan to build another proxmox box. The easiest way to migrate would appear to be to create a cluster and migrate the VMs. Is this as much of a no brainer as it appears? Or are there caveats and gotchas? I planned to create the cluster from the old box, migrate to the new, then shut down and rebuild the old. Is this the best way to go about it?
Thanks,
