How to create Cluster with dedicated NIC (OVH vrack) ?

December 27, 2013, 11:54 am

Hello,

I'm working with 2 servers from OVH (hosting provider). Each one has its own public IP, and also its own private IP (172.16.0.1 and 172.16.0.2) on a separated NIC (interface eth1). The private IPs can communicate with multicast thanks to their new "vrack 1.5" technology.

I created a cluster on the first server (private IP: 172.16.0.1) (pvecm create my-own-cluster). Then on the second server I did pvecm add 172.16.0.1.

This led me to a:

Code:
Waiting for quorum... Timed-out waiting for cluster
[FAILED]
In the meantime I realized I had to modify quorum. So I did on the first server pvecm expected 1, which didn't change anything. As the second server was still waiting, I did a CTRL-C. On each server, I ran a pvecm status and saw the Node addresses is the public IP (on both servers).

So my questions are:

  1. How to specify the network interface / IP address when creating a cluster or adding a node ?
  2. How could I do this provided I've already tried to create a cluster


# pveversion
pve-manager/3.1-24/060bd5a6 (running kernel: 2.6.32-26-pve)

Thanks in advance

root@pam cannot edit any VMs options

I was under the impression (and still am convince) that root@pam has the "administrator" role which is "do anything", yet it would be nice if I could make my VMs autostart in a predefine order.

I'm stuck with restarting VMs manually each time ProxMox is rebooted.

Hello,

I have a question.

First of all i don't know much about the raid controllers.
I saw the Dell Perc6i Perc 6/i SAS T774H with NU209 Battery for write-back cache.
I have problem with the I/O delay ~10% and if it goes to more the server get blocked.
I now use software raid 1 and i hope if i use this card i get lower i/o delay or i hope the cpu don't get blocked if the i/o is high.
Later i want to use raid 10 with 2 more disk (i now have only 2 disk 1TB WD 7200rpm stat3) for better performance.

The question is: Anyone have any experience with this card or anyone know can i use this card with this motherboard? (MSI Z77a-g43)

Live migration not working after removing Network from boot order

PVE 3.1-21. Dual Proxmox server with LVM Freenas iSCSI Shared Storage.

I have noticed that after chaging boot order from Network to None it made live migration impossible. This behavior was present on all my VMs. It is easily reproductible on my cluster with this procedure.

1) Create new VM with Windows XP OS, No media, 1G HD (On shared storage), All other default
2) Start VM (Will loop on boot sequence)
3) Up to now everything is fine, can live migrate VM between hosts.
4) Go into Option, edit boot order and set boot device 3 from Network to None.
5) Now migration is unable to complete with the following error

Code:
Dec 28 10:26:55 starting migration of VM 106 to node 'proxmox1' (192.168.1.70)
Dec 28 10:26:55 copying disk images

Dec 28 10:26:59 migrate_cancel
Dec 28 10:27:00 ERROR: migration finished with problems (duration 00:00:05)
TASK ERROR: migration problems
Two way I found to correct the problem:

1) Put back Network as boot device 3
2) Stop and reboot this VM.

Is this reproductible on someone else cluster ?

New server, VM mbr problems

December 31, 2013, 6:43 pm

Hello.

I have been using a regular desktop pc with a AMD Phenom2 cpu as a proxmox server for a couple of years which has been working great and have been extremely happy with it. Recently I got a HP Proliant ML370G5 server (2 x E5430 Xeon cpu) and started using that with proxmox instead since it is a real server. The problem is that none of the backed up windows guests boot with the "new" Proliant server when restored to the new server. They can be made bootable with fixmbr, but what is it thats different with the new system? Is it because of the hardware or because of newer kernel or some other package that has broken the windows MBRs?

Booting a Win VM with the "KVM hw virtualization" unchecked does start booting ok but BSODs with unknown cpu type error, which seems to be a known problem.

Also, with the old server I used to be able to ddrescue a physical harddrive to a image and then dd that image to a VM's hdd but that doesnt work anymore. The VM hangs with "booting from hardisk" just like a restored windows VM.

The old server was originally installed as version 1.9 and has been upgraded gradually to 3.1.
The new Proliant server with problems got a fresh 3.1 install and is also fully updated.

Can I downgrade any packages to make the new server work like the old with windows mbr's and dd images or is this a hardware issue??
I also installed the same proxmox 3.1 on a core2duo desktop just for testing and tried restoring a backup there with the same results, windows mbr doesnt work.

Poor KVM performance 50% of host server and openvz

January 1, 2014, 8:30 am

I am testing on a completely empty ( no users other than the testing ) server with 8 AMD cores and indel 3500 SSD drives. The KVM uses virtio in both HD and network and default cpu ( actually tried the native cpu too same results ) and tried multiple caching options but the differences where small.
I used the tests in this page http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-ben...-with-sysbench

The Mysql benchmark is as below
sysbench --test=oltp --oltp-table-size=1000000 --mysql-db=test --mysql-user=root --mysql-password=yourrootsqlpassword prepare
then

sysbench --test=oltp --oltp-table-size=1000000 --mysql-db=test --mysql-user=root --mysql-password=yourrootsqlpassword --max-time=60 --oltp-read-only=on --max-requests=0 --num-threads=8 run

On the main server I get
transactions: 81373 (1356.13 per sec.)
Running on openvz with all cpus available to the vm
transactions: 86230 (1437.10 per sec.)
(openvz was higher might just be run variation that vz is higher but it shows that vz is veryclose to baremetal enough that indicidual variation makes a difference )
But when running on KVM with all the cpus available to the VM
transactions: 44220 (736.93 per sec.)

This is a HUGE drop close to unacceptable

When doing the pure cpu benchmark
sysbench --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=20000 run

baremetal gets
execution time (avg/stddev): 18.7910/0.00
( in seconds so lower is better )

And in the kvm machine
execution time (avg/stddev): 20.4926/0.00

Which is an acceptable slow down and point that the problem is IO.

[SOLVED] Console don't open Connection to single VM

Hey guys,

i have a problem due a little mistake while configuring the network adapter of one VM.

I changed the network adapter of one VM from bridged vmbr0 to the same configuration with vlan tag "1".
I did this while the machine was running and a kernel panic was given due this mistake ;-)

Okay, shutdown and revert of the configuration change.

Now i can not connect via "Console". Error message is :
" TASK ERROR: command '/bin/nc -l -p 5900 -w 10 -c '/usr/sbin/qm vncproxy 100 2>/dev/null'' failed: exit code 2 "

I've found many failure reports or threads about this, but found no really working hint to get it back working.

ssh access is working an machine runs properly, just console-access via web-interface doesn't work anymore. Any other machine works great and can be accessed this way.

I tried rebooting and restarting the host and any guest but no way ;-) - It's not always a solution ;-)
Also i didn't found a iptable rule , blocking access or else.
The java plugin just shows "Status: Connected to server" and after this (10sec) it changes to "Network error: remote side closed connection" and nothing happens.


Any ideas?

HA Cluster with 2 Nodes, Backup

Hi,

First: Have a happy new year for everyone :-).

Second: I plan to setup a HA-Cluster using this guide: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Two-Node...bility_Cluster

Will it work without the Quorum Disk (3rd node at all in general)? I want to use DRBD with LVM on it.

Also: In the past I had some problems with LVM-nodes when the secondary DRBD becames master in a fail-over-scenario. I had to create a small init-script to re-use LVM again. Will it work without no problems?

Third: In the past :-) I could not use whole size of the disk for one LVM because it needed some space left to create snapshot-partitions when performing backups (snapshot-mode). Is this still nessescarry? If yes, how big should it be? Is the size based of the max-amount of disk-space a VE has or are 20 / 30 G ok for the data which newly appear when performing backups?

And at last: I found out with Proxmox 1 / 2 it was not directly possible to use openVZ with DRBD/LVM. (see http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/DRBD). Is it directly possible with Proxmox 3.1?

Thank you!

using Ubuntu Cloud-Images with Proxmox?

January 2, 2014, 7:08 pm
$

The current method I use to create VMs in Proxmox is very time consuming. I'd like to see if I can use Ubuntu's Cloud-Image to speed up the process of creating new VMs. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Right now, I base my VMs on Ubuntu and KVM. First I upload the ubuntu ISO, run through an install using the GUI console and then convert that install into a template. When I create a new VM I need to boot the VM, ssh in and manually set the network for the VM. This is rather time consuming.

The Ubuntu cloud images are a preinstalled version of Ubuntu but without any network settings. But they support cloud-init (http://cloudinit.readthedocs.org/) and this blog post (http://ubuntu-smoser.blogspot.ca/201...out-cloud.html) shows how to base a VM on the Ubuntu Cloud-Image and then create a CD with genisoimage with the cloud-init settings for the VM. When the VMs boots, it will read the settings from the CD.

My plan is to create a VM with ProxMox and then replace the disk file with the Ubuntu cloud image. And then to replace the CD image with the ISO I created with the cloud-init settings.

Original conf file
virtio0: local:100/base-100-disk-1.raw,format=raw,size=40G
ide2: local:iso/ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso,media=cdrom

Update file
virtio0: local:100/ubuntu-cloudimage.raw,format=raw,size=40G
ide2: local:iso/my-cloudinit-settings.iso,media=cdrom

Am I on the right track? Has anyone done this before?
