Hello,

I installed Proxmox 1.6 from burned ISO file, updated it (apt-get .....), mounted a NFS share through Storage section and I was able change dir to that location and restore an openvz ve backup file I kept before my original openvz host in Ubuntu 8.04 failed to work properly.

openvz vm is working properly, accessed trac, subversion and viewvc without any issue, but I failed to manage it through Proxmox web ui. Virtual Appliances -> List does not display it.

/etc/vzdump/vps.conf is in place and I also did:
nano /etc/vz/conf/xyz.conf
ORIGIN_SAMPLE="pve.auto"

Would appreciate if somebody can lead me to fix manage my openvz vms through web ui.

Thanks in advance,
Orlando

PS Also noticed I needed to access NFS Storage through ui in order to get it mounted and then access it through command line, but I guess an entry in /etc/fstab would fix this.

Virtual appliance list only shows appliances - what do you expect exactyl?

Yes. Storage is activated on first use.

The issue I see is that if a cron job (through ui or command line) is setup to backup to a NFS share and proxmox server is rebooted but ui is not accessed, backup process won't go as expected. Not a mayor issue or request though, an easy entry to /etc/fstab on my side would do the fix.

Thanks,
Orlando

Hi and thanks for replying,

Maybe I misunderstood the UI behavior, it's my fist time installing/playing with this product.
I though that by creating openvz VMs they were going to get listed in that screen, and managed as needed (eg add more hdd space, ram, etc). This is something WebVZ allows. I prefer promox though.
When you said "Virtual appliances" are you referring to KVM VMs? Not using them for now, although would be nice if OSX VM could be created. I'm not familiar with KVM.

Thanks and have a great day,
Orlando

Sure, the container is listed in the VM list (not the appliance list).

no - an appliance is a pre-configured template. You can use them to create Containers.

Thanks dietmar,

Sorry for the confusion,
I said earlier:
....
Virtual Appliances -> List does not display it.
....

I meant Virtual Machines -> List does not display it.

So here is what I repro'ed:

1)
Clean install
Mount NFS share through UI (Storgare -> .....)
cd to NFS share
vzrestore backedupfile.tgz 131
vzctl start 131
At this point I'm able to browse my trac site stored in mentioned openvz backup file
UI -> Virtual Machines -> List says:
Cluster Node 'proxmox'
Node has no VMs
Restart VM, no effect
Reboot proxmox server, no effect

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
Reboot proxmox server, same result

2)
Clean install
UI -> Downloaded ubuntu 8.04 template
Create VM from that template
Started VM using command line similar to 1)
Same results, UI -> Virtual Machines -> List is empty

Version used: 1.6

Regards,
Orlando
