Small Business Server 2011 Installation fails

$
0
0
Hello proxmox community,

we are new to proxmox and currently testing the system (3.1) for future use in our company. I am trying to install a MS Small Businnes Server 2011 in a proxmox virtaul machine. I created a VM with following configuration:

Code:

balloon: 2048
boot: dcn
bootdisk: sata0
cores: 4
ide2: none,media=cdrom
keyboard: de
memory: 16348
name: sbs11server
net0: e1000=8A:50:C5:C1:2C:86,bridge=vmbr0
ostype: win7
sata0: Images:103/vm-103-disk-1.qcow2,format=qcow2,size=125G
snaptime: 1386419021
sockets: 1

Our proxmox Server is a DELL 360 with 12 Cores, 32GB RAM and a hardware RAID controller.

I installed the OS with the MS install cd of our current server. The installation works fine. I am able to run the whole setup and at the end of the installation the system boots normally. I can work with the OS without any problems. But after I reboot the server for the first time I get this good known error:

Code:

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. Technical Information:

*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xFFFFF880009AF928, 0xFFFFFFFFC0000034, 0x0000000000000000 ...)

I found this wiki topic and used the attached "mergeide.reg" before shutting down the server for the first time after a second new installation. The error persists. I am not migrating a running server. I installed the server by hand. So I think the mergeide.reg is not the right way to go. Am I right?

Then I found this advice in the forum. But the suggested bus controller swapping did not solve the problem.

I don't know what to do, for running SBS 11 on proxmox. The OS boots normally after installation but crashes after reboot. Do you have any suggestions?

Best regards.

Building cluster fails (quorum)

$
0
0
Hello,

I'm trying since hours to get a Proxmox cluster working, but every time I try to add my second node to the cluster, it fails while waiting for quorum. Because my provider does not allow multicast traffic, I needed to create a VPN to get this working - also tested it successfully with "ssmping". For building a VPN tunnel I'm using "tinc" - a small & lightweight VPN server - Used following tutorial: http://forum.ovh.co.uk/showthread.ph...uster-with-NAT. All internal IPs of the vpn tunnel are reachable.

Setup
My setup:
  • 2x server (both same hardware and provider, installed minimal Debian Wheezy and manually Proxmox VE, Community subscription)
  • VPN tunnel with tinc (works: ping, ssh, multicast, ...)
  • node1 ip: 192.168.99.1 (master)
  • node2 ip: 192.168.99.2 (should be added to cluster)
  • my cluster name: MainCluster


Already tested
  • cleared iptables rules
  • testing around with different /etc/hosts entries
  • ...and much other things I forgot...


pvecm command output
When I try to add a node to my cluster, I get following output:

In testing Kernel 3.10 on a new host spec, any time I run heavy I/O against disks on a Marvell 88SE9230 SATA adapter, all drives on that adapter drop (mine is not using mdraid of course, these are for individual backups volumes, but the issue is very similar).

Unfortunately, it does not look like the Debian team has resolved this. Anyone have a similar experience?

HTML Code:

VLAN Tagging issues

$

I've setup 2 bridges and assigned them to a KVM, vmbr0 is for untagged traffic and vmbr40 is for tagged voip traffic. Untagged uses 192.168.1.0/24 and Tagged uses 192.168.3.0/24

The problem so far is I can't ping the KVM from inside or outside the host on the tagged interface network but all untagged networks are fine, however the host can ping any other ip within the tagged network subnet other then the one that is assigned inside of the KVM for that subnet but the untagged subnet works fine.

Also from within the KVM I can ping any ip inside of the tagged subnet and vise-versa.

I've done a tcpdump on the guest kvm and I can infact see pings reaching the box but seems there not being replied to on the tagged subnet interface.

I'm running FreePBX inside of that guest.

OpenVZ container tutorials. Cant get further than initial setup

$

So I am in the process of learning Proxmox better and better and am trying to figure out how to accomplish some little things and also trying to figure out my options. I am making a small home Proxmox server. I have it all setup and working and need to start install VM's. I can setup a standalone VM just fine no issues. However I want to run ~5 (as of now) ubuntu server 12.04 machines. I can easily install all separate VM's but would like to utilize the functions of proxmox. I was trying to setup a OpenVZ container and also tried making a template. I can get very far though. some questions:

1. I download the ubunut-12.04-X86_64.tar.gz from openvz template page. I upload it to the local hdd in proxmox and then created a CT. After I have this setup and I can see the OpenVZ Container what do I do? I cant figure out what I need to do after that to make a ubuntu server instance of that template.
2. Should I be using OpenVZ? I setup a Ubuntu Server VM and then right clicked on it and clicked "convert to template". After this I would right click and select "clone". It would create another VM and I would start it up but couldn't get on the my network (wanting to do bridged for everything). When I create a clone is that "linking" everything to that base template image?

So this is the main spot that I am getting confused, is trying to just use a base (or template) of Ubuntu Server and create multiple instances of that base. I tried following a couple guides and watch some videos on youtube however Im not able to successfully create what I am tyring. Here is one of the guides I followed:
http://renaud-cuny.com/en/blog/2013-...4-kvm-proxmox/

Can you guys point me to a good guide or just please explain what I need to do to make this work. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!!

Hi

I would like to take an Proxmox image and run it in Virtualbox to be able to do some work off-site. Is this possible?

After shutting the vm down, I have converted my "vm-101-disk-1.qcow2" file to "vm-101-disk-1.vdi" using "qemu-img convert -O vdi". Virtualbox seems happy enough to import and run the virtual machine, but I am unable to interact with the Ubuntu virtual machine at all.

I am using Proxmox 3.1-3 and Virtual Box 4.3.4.

Thanks

Issue with iscsi - how to remove targets not showing in pve web interface ?

$

Hi PVE experts!

I'm having an issue with iSCSI (which I am experimenting for the first time). I did many tests trying to figure out the best options for setup, and ran into a situation I would like advices for.

Basically, some previous configs are "stuck" into PVE. I did not delete them correctly, so now they don't appear in PVE interface, but are still active, trying to login to targets that don't exist no more...

I can see them listed in/etc/iscsi/nodes and /etc/iscsi/send_targets... How can I remove them ? Simply by deleting the directories and files (which ones?) ? Or is there a command to use ?

What's the best way to deal with this situation ?

Thanks for your advices

I'd like to know if running Proxmox on Apple hardware seamlessly will be a supported feature in the future. I'd like to virtualize some OSX systems, but the only way to do that is to be running Proxmox on Apple hardware.

Portforwarding with VPN

Hi I am trying to connect to VPN inside a proxmox and wounder how to connect to my VPN. I have a Windows server VM inside Proxmox with ip like 172.16.16.16, and on this machine I have a VPN installed listenning on port 1723. So I want to forward all my external traffic, external pepole who want to connect ot the vpn, to 172.16.16.16:1723. Would this IP tables do the work

Code:

          iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d 44.44.44.44 --dport 422 -j DNAT --to 172.16.16.16:1723
          iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 422 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
          iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp --sport 422 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

My idea is to connect to the VPN from a virtual Windows 7 inside VMPlayer, but I am woundering if it is at all possible to join Windows 7 to a domain, like the VPN? But first the port forwarding ;)

Cluster Migration Steps?

Heya Gents

I plan to do an overhaul of our server nework - and one of the things I wanted to do was re-do our cluster. The node names are whacked, and I want to move the primary node to a totally different machine. I have four servers with VMs on them. What steps would I need to take to move the nodes and VMs to a new cluster? I know I'd have to create the new cluster first. Then what?

Hello Guys,

I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what is going on with my server.

I was trying to create a CT when it just did not want to show on the container list but i seemed to be create, i thought it was just the web ui, but i logged into the server and tried to delete the config file which lies under /etc/pve/nodes/server/openvz in order to refresh it and do it again instead, i just got :

/etc/pve/nodes/server/openvz# rm -drf 400.conf
rm: cannot remove `400.conf': Input/output error

I can't remove any file under this folder.





What shall i do ?

Hope you can help me, thank you.

Looking for thoughts on Proxmox VE intallation re-do/ upgrade

$

Hi all,

I had a previous admin turn unresponsive about half way through a proxmox installation. Fairly small/ basic configuration that used Proxmox VE 2.2 hosting two wordpress sites and one vbulletin site using four nodes.

The cluster was based on Proxmox VE 2.2. Since the web nodes are only running on three of the nodes (and one wordpress installation is seldom used) I updated the two relatively unused nodes to Proxmox VE 2.3 already. Just to level-set here is the current configuration:

Configurations
Here is what the current configuration looks like:
Chassis 1
Node 1 - Local SSD + Local HD (Proxmox VE 2.2) running wordpress on CentOS 6.3
Node 2 - Local SSD (Proxmox VE 2.3)
Chassis 2
Node 3 - Local SSD + Local HD (Proxmox VE 2.2) running vBulletin on CentOS 6.3
Node 4 - Local SSD (Proxmox VE 2.3) running lightly used wordpress

The web nodes are installed onto the local SSD storage. So I know that when the Proxmox VE 2.2 nodes are upgraded I cannot live migrate while I reboot the nodes.

Here is what I am trying to do
1. Upgrade all four nodes to Proxmox VE 3.1
2. Have the two hard drives act as a backup destination for the VMs
3. Have the wordpress and vbulletin nodes moved to HA

My main question is whether I am trying to do too much? I am certainly not a great admin (had hired someone else to be but that has me stuck) and the big question for me right now is whether I should stick with Proxmox or swap to ESXi or Hyper-V which I am familiar with. Since I do have two "free" nodes I have enough room to do a swap fairly easily. Both the main WP and vBulletin will run fine on a single node if need be during a cut over.

How to well done a pfsense migration to proxmox ?

$

Hello,
I would like to migrate a pfsense machine from physical to proxmox.
i'm using ipsec vpn, openvpn, nat & firewall rules, traffic shapping for QoS with VoIP.
I have 2 ADSL link. One PPPoE (1st) and one with static address (2nd).

I have followed this link to have all virtio drivers.
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/VirtIO_Driver_Support

I have tested this in the virtual machine :
* WAN with PPPoE :
don't work with a bridged ethernet port.
OK with with PCI passthrough with the ethernet port.

no solution with a bridged ethernet port ?

* IPSEC on the 2nd ADSL link with other pfsense.
VPN link don't work with a bridged ethernet port.
OK with with PCI passthrough with the ethernet port.

no solution with a bridged ethernet port ?

* backup / restore
i restore a backup from the physical machine.
I re-assign interface.
all is ok. but no traffic shapping.
PC client on LAN can't go to internet.
If i remove traffic shapping, it's ok.

is there a way to correct restore a configuration from physical to a VM machine ?

thank you.

Increasing volume size (lvm + iscsi).

Hi, I have a cluster of 5 nodes running proxmox 3.1 with KVM using LVM on a shared iscsi volume, provided by a dell md3200i.
I'm starting to run out of space in the volume group, but my dell storage still has unallocated space.
My question is: what's the best strategy to increase the capacity of the VG? I see 2 options:

1) Enlarge the storage volume, and then enlarge the PV that conatins the VG.
2) Create another storage volume, share it to all the hosts, create a new PV, and extend the VG to the new PV.

My concerns are regarding the propagation of the changes across the cluster.

Sorry if this has been asked before, I didn't find it.

I'm trying to install an OS (Linux or Windows) in a new virtual machine, but I can't connect to the console, the console shows me a label seeing "Connected to server" and later it says "Network error: remote side closed connection" and the status is "Error command '/bin/nx -l -p 5900 -w 10 -c '/usr/bin/qn vncproxy 100 2>/dev/null failed: exit code 2'' but if I start a virutal container a can connect to it fine, I'm using proxmox 2.3 and 3.1 and I'm using ubuntu + java + firefox to connect to it, any ideas?
