Where is my VMs? All VMs running, but not show in management.

[cesarpk]

Yes, that is the purpose of that flag.

Thanks Dietmar, with your answers in this forum many people learn

The last question, i remember a wiki that say that a PVE Node not should have VMs or CTs if the Node will be integrated to a PVE Cluster, do you know which is the wiki that tell about of this?, i was trying found it, but without success.

Best regards
Cesar

Well, my intention is to have servers in so many different locations. Than, its better to don't use cluster =P

I'm gonna try now, to do dhcp and try to config this to work with some billing module.
I have 2 to test. Hostbill + Ipam and Modules Garden for Whmcs.
The next step -> Firewall.

And finish!

DHCP use broadcast, and broadcast don't works over Internet, unless you use VPN into Internet. If you have VPN into Internet, PVE Cluster and DHCP can work. DHCP almost does not consumes bandwidth, but the "PVE Cluster" may need it, how much?, i don't know, but if anybody can answer to this question, all people of this forum can learn.

Question to anybody:
1- Anyone know how much free bandwidth is necessary for the PVE Cluster communication and for each Node if we have a "PVE Cluster" that use corosync?.
For example, if i have 3 or 6 or 16 PVE Nodes in a "PVE Cluster", how much will be my consumes bandwidth by PVE Node
2- For the "PVE Cluster" communication, How often is it done?

Sigh, someone remove that:

I will revert that change.

Hi Dietmar.

Happy to see you here.
I believe its better to me have all nodes without cluster, like i said, my intention is to have a node in different locations.
But for backups, there is anyway to centralize backups? Something like a ftp-server for backups.

Thanks.

For make Backups you can see this link:
http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore

In short, PVE and any other system of Virtualization that can to make Backups, due to the bandwidth required and the volumen of data to make Backup, is that the Backups are performed into the LAN or in the same Node.

Since the PVE GUI you can to make Backups to remote storage in the WAN, in this case NFS will be the the only choice.
Using CLI, you can make backup in others types of storages.

If you want to make remote Backups via the WAN, my suggestion is do it in two steps:
Step-1: Make Backup Local (may be using the PVE GUI, or using a bash script)
Step-2: (via CLI using a bash script) Copy the Backup to a remote storage (In this mode you will have 2 copies of your Backup, local y remote) and you can have FTP as target. But my suggestion in this case is no use ftp and use VSFTP for security reasons, and may be with "rsync" for less use of bandwidth in the WAN.

I know that if you use a bash script will be better due to you will can add all tasks (step-1 and step-2) for gain time and not wait between the step-1 and the step-2.

But in any case, you should be carefully with the copy of the Backup to the WAN, and may be that not work well due to the bandwidth required and the volumen of data to move (you should to think that moving the data can consume all your bandwidth of the WAN). I believe that if "rsync" don't work well for you, you'll have to give up this idea.

Thank you for the good explanation =)

I did a new post about this, because I see this subject started with "where is my vms".

Maybe someone whats to get the same information and can't.

Thanks =)
