Hi all, I'm having some trouble with a V2V'd Windows Server 2008 VM which was working fine on vSphere 5.1. Apologies, I'm a bit of a Proxmox novice, and there do seem to be reports on the 'net of complaints similar to mine, although I'm not sure how to troubleshoot my own issue and would appreciate some advice.
I booted using a systemrestore cd, and DD'd a number of disks across to Proxmox. On the destination VM, there's one IDE drive for booting from, and a number of SCSI disks with writethrough cache. I admit, I did forget to uninstall VMtools prior to this process, but have since removed them. Under load on the SCSI disks, the virtual machine will switch off (not BSOD or restart). I can reproduce this easily with a "chkdsk x: /r" for the SCSI disk, but not with a "chkdsk c: /r" (and subsequent reboot) for the IDE disk. That would point me in the direction of a problem with the SCSI driver/virtual controller? Thinking that it was something to do with drivers, I removed a disk, re-added it as a Virtio device, installed drivers from virtio-win-0.1-52.iso and the system suffered a BSOD. It would BSOD before even booting into safe mode also. It even did this with all of the SCSI & Virtio disks disconnected. Only booting with Last Known Good configuration got me back into windows, and back to a position where a "chkdsk x: /r" would turn off the VM, rather than restart it or BSOD. I removed this disk and added as IDE again. chkdsk was now fine. Removed and added again as SCSI. Machine powers off under load. In case it's anything to do with not being on the most recent build, I upgraded one host with "apt-get update" and "apt-get dist-upgrade", migrated the machine to it, however this does still happen. Just in case the file format was having any sort of effect, I migrated from raw to qcow2. Unsurprisingly, this hasn't made any difference. Any ideas where to turn next? I'm intrigued by the machine powering down rather than suffering a BSOD. host pm00 has kernel Linux 2.6.32-20-pve host pm01 has kernel Linus 2.6.32-22-pve Many thanks, Chris _______________________________________________ pve-user mailing list [email protected] http://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-user
