Proxmox WebGUI - AD User Login / Invalid Username Format

$
0
0
Hello guys,

I wan't our Active Directory users be able to login to the Proxmox WebGUI. At least there is no Problem for a user like "admin-example". But our AD-Names are like "Arno Nymous". So the problem is, that I can't add a user with spaces in between first- and lastname because Proxmox says "invalid username format". This is a big problem, due to we don't want to/cannot change the AD-loginnames. I tried to add the username with "%20" between names (like in HTML). After that Proxmox accepted the username format, but login won't work - not with "User Name" either "User%20Name". All AD-logins without spaces are working fine.

The problem exists on Proxmox 3.2 as well as on 3.3 (just upgraded).
Is there another trick? Or will it be supported in future?

Has anyone an idea - would really appreciate it!
Kind Regards,

Connection problems after upgrade to 3.3

$

Hello,

we use Proxmox on a 3 Node cluster. The nodes are connected through 2 switches (1 connected to the internet and 1 private). We have public IP adresses configured on a bridge as well as a private IP for local communication. Several VM running on the cluster. Some of the VMs use public IPs wich are routed through the Proxmox nodes (Our hoster won't allow to use a failover-subnet on VMs, that is, bind to a virtual MAC).
These settings worked fine until monday night, when I upgraded to 3.3

After a test to connect to the services on the VMs succeeded, a few hours later, connection was lost to one of the public adresses in a VM behind the Proxmox gateway. We could solve the issue by migrating the VM to the node, to which the failover subnet was bound to. Tonight, ANY public IP was not accessible and only the IPMI cards in the Server worked (wich ruled out the switch). After changing from OVS to linux bridges, the problem was fixed. A few hours later, another VM was not reachable (a reverse proxy), and only stopping the firewall within the VM (Shorewall) helped. The firewall in the VM was not misconfigured and worked since the installation, Shorewall on the system that had issues on monday is still running. Nothing in the Shorewall logs either, except the expected...

So we have network issues and every time, a different approach solved it. And they started after the upgrade. Might the new Proxmox firewall affect out networking? I have no other guesses as of now.
The PVE Firewall was not configured and i had no other FW installed on the nodes. In the Datacenter settings, die FW was disabled (on the nodes however, it is enabled, for the rules eventually activated on them, I guess) but was running. However, the iptables where empty (except a fail2ban rule) and the policies where set to ACCEPT.

I disabled and stopped the FW on all nodes manually for now.

Here is the pveversion output:

Here is the network config (identical on all nodes except the host IPs):
Code:

# network interface settings

    address 88.xxx.xxx.66

#auto vmbr0
#iface vmbr0 inet static

#    netmask 255.255.255.0

    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 10.1.0.0
    ovs_type OVSBridge
    ovs_ports bond0

Orginally, there were 2 OVS bridges which connect the clusternodes through the 2 switches. After the loss of connection to all public IPs, i reverted the setup of bridge vmbr0 to linux-bridge. The commented-out is the old setting, obviously, working prior the incident. The vmbr0:1 alias (int1 respectively) is for the failover subnet and startet manually or by the fencing script, when the subnet is bound to the node. The VMs withe the rest of the public IPs in the subnet use this as their gateway. vmbr1 is the local network (for cluster communication), not been seen by the VMs itself.
ovs-vswitch.log had nothing relevant (prior to my trying to reactivate the network).
VM image storage is a ceph RBD pool, if this is relevant.

If you need some other information, let me know.

Thanks in advance, C. Doering

PS: We use Proxmox since 2011 and version 1.7 IIRC and it was very reliable so far. Thanks for the great work.

Trying to install latest Proxmox from USB on fresh hard drive

Not sure what's going on here, trying to install to one of our servers I used GParted live to wipe out all the drives in the box. I boot to the USB drive hit F2 for verbose and I see this
testing cdrom /dev/sr0mount: mounting /dev/sr0 on /mnt failed: Invalid argument umont: can't umount /mnt: Invalid argument....This message is repeated a few times and ends with no cdrom found - unable to continue (type exit ot CTRL-D to reboot)

I went into the BIOS and disabled the CDROM for kicks and no change.. any suggestions? I remember having this issue about a year ago when I was using Proxmox at home but can't remember for the life of me how I resolved it.

Need advice on local storage+ qcow2

I have a single host that I want to run about 4 VM's on, I currently have 4 drives, One has proxmox on it.
Whats the best way to go about getting local storage that supports qcow2 VM's for live snapshots.

I tried the http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage_Model#Directory with lvm but it only lets me create raw images. I can create qcow2 VM's on the local disk that proxmox is installed on. should I be adding the other drives as directories?

Thanks in advance.

proxmox API

Hi all!

I'm writing now my custom panel, using proxmox API, and I have some questions. I use PHP framework:

https://github.com/CpuID/pve2-api-php-client

and proxmox 3.2:

Code:

ii  libpve-access-control              3.0-15                        amd64        Proxmox VE access control libraryii  libpve-common-perl                3.0-19                        all          Proxmox VE base library
ii  libpve-storage-perl                3.0-22                        all          Proxmox VE storage management library
ii  proxmox-ve-2.6.32                  3.2-136                      all          The Proxmox Virtual Environment
ii  pve-cluster                        3.0-14                        amd64        Cluster Infrastructure for Proxmox Virtual Environment
ii  pve-firewall                      1.0-7                        amd64        Proxmox VE Firewall
ii  pve-headers-2.6.32-32-pve          2.6.32-136                    amd64        The Proxmox PVE Kernel Headers
ii  pve-kernel-2.6.32-32-pve          2.6.32-136                    amd64        The Proxmox PVE Kernel Image
ii  pve-manager                        3.2-30                        amd64        The Proxmox Virtual Environment

I have some questions:

1) this PHP class always returns login successful:

Code:

if($px->constructor_success()){
    if($px->login()){         
        echo "YES";   
    }
  }

returns TRUE anyway. Is it proxmox bug, or bug of this framework?

2) I don't understand how can I use proxmox internal user. This works:

Code:

$px = new PVE2_API("IP.add.dre.ss", "username", "pam", "valid password");
If "username" is a valid system user

But following doesn't:

Code:

$px = new PVE2_API("IP.add.dre.ss", "username", "realm", "valid password");
If "username" is a valid proxmox user.

3)
I want to use custom command to start KVM virtual machines. How can I do this? I've come up with the only one way to do it: change /usr/bin/kvm to my custom script for reading proxmox's arguments and editing them to start with my arguments. Is there any better way?

/dev/fd not found Debian 7.0 Standard appliance

$

I have a Debian 7.0 container, where I have to execute a bash script[0] that has a code which makes the scripts fail only over OpenVZ container.

The key code is similar to

diff < (echo "a") < (echo "b")

which returns

diff: /dev/fd/63: No such file or directory

as my reference[1] indicates (I think, since I just distinguish nouns than verbs in German), the problem is related to the non presence of /dev/fd symlink to /proc/self/fd

I searched a bit and I found that Debian bootstrap bug[2] indicates that the symlink generation corresponds to makedev package.

Should the proxmox Appliance include the makedev package? I see that ubuntu 12.04 includes makedev (and /dev/fd symlink).

Thanks in advance

I have a Proxmox VE 3.2 cluster of 2 nodes. When I visist the vm runing on node A through node A's web GUI, it runs well. But when I visit the same vm through node B‘s web GUI, it reports "authentication failed". Is it normal? or have I missed some configuration work?

How can I switch noVNC to Java Applet and vice versa for the console connection?

Dear Sir,

I just upgraded ProxMox VE 3.3 and noticed that the console is defaulted to noVNC.
While using the console from various clients, I found some interesting behavior as follows;

1. Some client always activated noVNC in Web browser (Firefox).
2. Other client interesting caused Java to be used in Web browser (Firefox) - in the URL (https://localhost:8006/...), "noVNC=1" is missing

I have searched the option in ProxMox menu to choose noVNC/Java for the console, but not successful yet.

Can anyone tell me about this option so that I can choose noVNC in any browser?:confused:

Best Regards
:D

Hello,

we have an Dell Server with an DRAC installed, now we have the Problem, that when we run an virtual Machine on the Hostnode we can't Ping the DRAC from the Hostnode or every VM who is running of them. I found this Thread at the ESXi Forum: https://communities.vmware.com/message/1324399#1324399

Now my Question, Proxmox has Open vSwitch Support - how we have to configure our Network for the Solution who's postet in the ESXi Forum? I'm absolutly not an Pro with Open vSwitch, so i hope here is a crack who has the knowledge and want to share it with me :)

Thanks!

Hello all,

The Gui update did miss some packages, it think it was because of some dependancy problems. Problem now its running PVE 3.2.4 without showing any new packages (or the missed ones) to be updated. NoVNC shows as a console option but errors out:

Parameter verification failed. (400)

websocket: property is not defined in schema and the schema does not allow additional properties



All VM's are running fine but how do i fix this ?

New CTs have no Internet but LAN works

$

Hi all,

The problem we have was on PVE 3.2 and after upgrade to 3.3 is still.

After creating new CT on a free/unsued IP CT cannot go outside to the Internet. I can ping other VM/CTs or PVE node and back also but not the Internet addresses. But if I stop the CT, lunch a VM with this IP everything works OK. And after that when stop this VM and start the CT again it also works! Magic! :) It's like the VM triggers the IP to work, but CT not.

Any ideas how to solve this so CT is running online from the start without this VM-stuff in the middle?

If you need more data, please ask.

Network problems when idle vm is idle

Hi Guys...
I am installing a Centos 6.5 VM on my proxmox 3.1.
When the VM is a few minutes idle, appears that network do not response from remote (ping, ssh, etc). but loggin on console and doing some network
commands (like ping, route, etc) the network begins to work again.

I allready installed several Centos 6.5 without any issue, but inside proxmox is the first time,

The Centos is configured with bridged on Intel E1000

What could it be?.
Thanks in advance

Need help with system specification

We're in the process of virtualizing our web server environment and could use some help in deciding what machines to buy.
We just purchased a ProxMox VE subscription :)

Here's our situation:

We run a medium-sized web site. Everything is co-located at an ISP so the more we can do remotely, the better.
We're not going to worry about our database servers currently.

So that means we mainly need to virtualize our web and email servers, and that's about it.
I'm mainly looking to ProxMox VE to make it simpler to add new physical hosts and to upgrade VMs.
We only run Linux and am planning to use OpenVZ containers (but am open to suggestions).

We currently have 4 aging rack servers running web and mail (a couple 2U and a couple 1U).
All of them should really be replaced soon.

So, I'm looking at what to buy. I picked up Ahmed's Mastering Proxmox. I'm leaning toward buying "branded"
machines just because I don't have the time to deal with building/configuring. Our database servers
are from Dell and we have 4-hour support level with them, so my leaning is to stick with Dell, all else being equal.

Since we're not intending to run a bunch of VMs on each physical node, it seems like we don't need *that* much
ram and disk.

In looking at Dell's options, I'm thinking the R620s look reasonable. As a first stab:


  • Dual CPU, Intel® Xeon® E5-2620 2.00GHz, 15M Cache, 7.2GT/s QPI, Turbo, 6C 95W (which is what Ahmed recommended in "advanced" setup)
  • Chassis with up to 4 Hard Drives and 2 PCIe Slots
  • 16GB ram (advanced ECC)
  • PERC H310 Integrated RAID Controller
  • RAID 1 for H710P/H710/H310
  • 2 SSDs, 200GB Solid State Drive SAS Value SLC 6Gbps 2.5in Hot-plug Drive
  • Dual, Hot-plug, Redundant Power Supply (1+1), 495W
  • iDrac 7 enterprise


Dell is showing that config at $USD 5,710.97

Suggestions? Is it safe to go SSD at this point and will 2 SSD in RAID 1 be pretty robust?

And then I still need to think about shared storage...

Thanks for any pointers.
