Some webinterface feature requests

I use ubuntu jaunty with firefox 3.0.11 and sun-java6-plugin. After freezing cpu the console is black. what I wanted is to have a chance to click F12 before the system starts.

go the monitor and type 'c' to continue the boot process (an press whatever you need on the VNC console - be fast!)
 
Another thing I would request is adding more than 1 IP to a OpenVZ machine via the Webinterface.

just do it (separate the IP addresses with spaces)
 
adding multiple ip addresses to a container with venet -see screenshot.

Hi,

I just did that with the following result:

Code:

Ok, it works from the outside, and I can also access the internet, however, the venet0:0 and venet0:1 is missing?

EDIT: Nevermind :)

looks not right.

what template do you use? latest Proxmox VE?

it should look like this (debian lenny template, example from the screenshot):

Hi,

Some little features that could make proxmox even rock more (imo):

- In the virtual machine list: Make it possible to sort the vm's on their status, name, uptime.... by clicking on that column head

- Have a button in the vm configuration window to migrate that vm (I know it can be done now in the vm list and in the migrate menu)

- Have a button in the vm configuration window to backup that vm now

- Make it possible in the vm configuration to execute some commands on the hostnode after the vm has started (For example: I need to do a "mount --bind ..." of a directory of the host node to the vm)

- Have the possibility to clone a (running) vm


Thanks again for the great work!

I am testing a XP VM in KVM. I would like to get to the protected mode klicking F8 before XP starts, but everything is so quick that you have no chance. Would it be a feature to add a button "start with console" ? Or at least to define a delay?

Ok, since we've been talking about additional IP interfaces, any possibility of using IPv6 in OpenVZ guests?

Greets,
