Hi,

I have a demo machine that I just upgraded to 1.4 beta2. When I try to create a new KVM machine, after only a few seconds the "create command" finishes with a statement:

Code:
/usr/sbin/qm create 101 --ostype l26 --memory 1024 --onboot no --sockets 1 --cdrom local:iso/openfiler-2.3-x86_64-disc1.iso --name openfiler --vlan0 rtl8139=36:D8:5F:45:05:6F --bootdisk scsi0 --scsi0 local:4,format=qcow2
Unknown option: sockets
unable to apply VM settings -
Any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks in advance.
 
SOLVED: Unknown option: sockets

Nevermind ... I figured it out. From news/roadmap section on Proxmox wiki:

  • New feature: assign Sockets/Cores to KVM guests
  • We now use the qemu-kvm stable branch (0.11.0)
  • Rename package pve-kvm to pve-qemu-kvm
When I ran an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade I got:

The following packages have been kept back:
proxmox-ve qemu-server
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.

I manually upgraded the two packages and rebooted. Now it works.
