I chose to go with the install cd i downloaded off their website since usually guides like the one i linked always cause issues, but i admit i did not try the procedure. Anyway, from what i can see, the 2.0 interface works like a charm and i had no trouble setting up a couple VMs just to play with: I'm really impressed!

Would you please be more specific about the configuration of the machine you are using? ie cpu model, disk / controller configuration, installed nics, etc.. A private reply would be enough! The solution i am looking for will determine the hardware i will be ordering, so i am concerned about it right now. How should i consider technologies like KVM and openVZ regarding stability? I'm talking about downtimes and maintenance time. I heard multiple opinions on xen being a bad thing to work with, both performance wise and stability wise. I wouldn't want to set this "private cloud" up only to discover it's not production ready! I am also wondering how i will be able to deal with storage and multiple nodes: how does proxmox behave on the matter? In case the main machine goes down i would be pretty screwed, wouldn't i? I guess that since proxmox is debian derivate i could eventually have a separate machine for storage and just mount a remote share through fuse and use that, but i'm open for suggestions. -- Davide Mirtillo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Debian and OSS vs vSphere
Hello debian-user, i'm hoping someone can shed some light regarding the current state of virtualization on Debian. Since I like my information first-hand, i thought i'd ask here for some real-world use cases. I am currently gathering some data in order to redesign the network infrastructure of the company i work for. I've been directed by some fellow sysadmins towards ESX and ESXi, but the pricing seems a bit over the top and honestly, i don't know if i actually need the whole thing, also considering that i am not familiar with enterprise-grade virtualization solutions. Basically i'm looking for a robust system that will allow me to deploy, host and manage virtual machines. The need for different services is growing in my company and having virtual machines for each would be ideal. I'm looking at a really small setup so the performance is not that big of an issue, but i am definitively looking at reliability and flexibility. There will probably be a main physical server running about a dozen machines, not all of them concurrently. Being a corporate enviroment, i am also concerned with data and network security, but i don't really know where i should be looking for informations, as designing a system with no real-use knowledge of the components can be quite a hard task. I've worked with hosting control panels and i like the idea of being able to manage the system through a web browser. To be more specific, i've worked with ISPConfig [1] which has support for OpenVZ containers. I never had to actually use that so far, but from what i saw on the management interface it seems like it would be a pretty simple solution and i like that. The issue is that i need to host Windows server VMs on it and OpenVZ does not seem to be supporting it oob. I am also currently looking at the various pages on the debian wiki on Xen, QEMU, OpenVZ and the suggested softwares to work with virtualization. If you have other valid sources of information, they would be really appreciated. [1] http://www.ispconfig.org/ispconfig-3/ -- Davide Mirtillo Ser. Tec.

There's no "client" per se, the software wakes up at certain intervals, which you will be able to define (default is every hour), checks the job list and acts accordingly. You can configure it to run incremental backups everyday during work hours and full backups every week after work hours, it will start the tasks. AFAIK it also has a queuing system - say you don't want to run more than 1 backup simultaneously, it will queue the task and try to start it again at the next wakeup. Of course you can still force backups through the web interface. They'll ignore the time limitations for execution but will still count towards the number of backups you configured the software to execute in a certain period of time. It supports a lot of file sharing protocols and it's a pretty flexible solution overall, since you can configure pretty much anything. -- Davide Mirtillo EV Network, Via Emilio Salgari 14/e 31056 Roncade (TV), Italy http://evnetwork.it -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Server freezing under heavy cpu / disk / network load
Hello, i would like to ask for help since i am feeling a bit clueless here. I recently bought a low end dedicated machine that was supposed to host some services: squid, proftpd and rtorrent. I installed debian lenny and immediately updated to squeeze and configured the services. I started rtorrent but after the machine reaches heavy load ( > 10MBps network traffic, maxed out cpu), it holds for a while then all network connections drop and i have to order a hard reset in order to bring it back online. I thought it was a misconfiguration issue, so i tried reconfiguring the server and installing ubuntu 10.04 on it, but i'm getting the same results. I had a look at /var/log/kernel.log and on ubuntu i am seeing some "Clocksource tsc unstable" messages right before the machine crashes. I can see the same kind of messages on squeeze aswell, just not that close to the reboots as they were on ubuntu. Google tells me they might have something to do with cpu frequency scaling. There's loads of reports by users like me who are experiencing random freezes. Seems though that there is no clear answer: people solved the issue with video card driver updates, replacing bad hardware, changing the frequency scaling governor, and so on. So far i only played around with the frequency scaling governor, setting it to "performance" seems to freeze the machine quicker than with the default "ondemand". Here are the cpu specs of the machine: # cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 39 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3700+ stepping: 1 cpu MHz : 2200.000 cache size : 1024 KB fdiv_bug: no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug: no coma_bug: no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt lm 3dnowext 3dnow up pni lahf_lm bogomips: 4398.97 clflush size: 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: ts fid vid ttp tm stc # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors conservative userspace powersave ondemand performance # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies 100 180 200 220 # cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource acpi_pm I asked the datacenter support to perform a hardware check and they tested the machine for 8 hours without errors. Now. How can i find out what's going on with this server? I'm pretty sure its faulty hardware, but i have no proof to show to the datacenter support. I am currently running squeeze 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem. The machine has 1024MB of ram and 2x160Gb Sata HDDs.

I was experiencing weird issues with my NIC aswell, check if you have the r8169 kernel module loaded, if so, that might be the cause of your crashes. Get the proper drivers for your NIC on the realtek website, compile them against your kernel, run depmod, blacklist the old module, update initramfs and you shouldn't have any more trouble. -- Davide Mirtillo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
