Hi all.
Now I search opensource virtualization platform like vmware and hyper-v. I test a libvirt, convirt, ganeti, and now test proxmox.
Proxmox is a wounderfull product, but i have a one question:

Where i can see a some HA solution for guests OS for version 1.6?
I have a two Dell R410, configure bonding with vlans, configure drbd for live migrate. But i cannot found any information for configuring HA. Maybe you can wrote some information for this question in wiki?

Or, maybe, communiti can wrote some info, how they make HA?
 
Real HA will only be in 2.x versions.

To have a manual recovery mode, you just have to backup /etc/vz/conf for OpenVZ VM and /etc/qemu-server/ for KVM ones.
You must use shared storage, but you do with DRBD.

If a server crash and you can not restart it in an acceptable delay, restore the configuration file of the VM which were running on it on the remaining host.
The VMs will show up in the management console.
Restart them.

Be carefull if you restart the crashed server, it will try to also start the VMs...
