description: Hello Alexander, I'm afraid it's rather difficult to find out the reason without being able to experiment with your VE. Your problem reminds me the similar one. Please, read the following thread http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&goto=28942&& amp;srch=kill#msg_28942 It may be helpful in your case. P.S. Could you somehow provide us with the template?

description: sorry, was ma fault; i tried proxmox on debian lenny and proxmox updated the vzctl package to version 3.0.23-1pve3 and it looks like things have changed; with this version i am not able to start my ve's - switching back to the debian default vzctl version 3.0.22 it works; with the vzctl version 3.0.22 it looks like only one bridge interface can be used? is this correct?

description: hello maratrus, i am working in an large company and for virtualisation of linux machines, vmware, xen, or something is a waste of money and ressources; the servers have two network interfaces, i bonded them together putted some vlans on it and attached a bridge interface to each of them; as examle: nic1\ === bond0 == vmbr0 == CT101, CT102 nic2/ |_bond0.2 == vmbr1 == CT103, KVM1 |_bond0.3 == vmbr2 == CT104...8 |_bond0.4 == vmbr3 == KVM2, KVM5 |_bond0.5 == vmbr4 == CT109....15 |_.... proxmox v1.4 supports the networking part but our 1he servers have no hardware raid build in and only one pci-e extension slot which is in use; changing the hardware is also not possible - we have a bunch of them and most of them are not one year old..... so, we need md-devices but proxmox won't support software raid in their kernels and we don't want to setup this only on one single disk; a software raid1 has only advantages instead installing it on a single disk; anyway, proxmox has the network options build in we need but software raid is also a must to have for us; thx, alex

description: Hi Alex, Quote: proxmox won't support software raid in their kernels sorry, but I didn't catch you. What kind of kernels you're talking about? As far as I understand there is no such thing as proxmox kernels. OpenVZ kernels that are based on RHEL5 kernels should support everything you want. http://download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/rhel5-2.6.18/curr ent/

OpenVZ kernels that are based on RHEL5 kernels should support everything you want. http://download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/rhel5-2.6.18/curr ent/ to shed a light on this http://pve.proxmox.com (proxmox) used a precompiled 2.6.24er kernel with OpenVZ and kvm support called pve-kernel on Debian 5.0.3 (lenny)/amd64.

description: Hi Maratrus, i am talking about the debian lenny openvz kernel, we are not using redhat also not plan to use redhat in the future; debian driven since many years or do you mean using the rhel5 kernel on lenny? thx, alex

description: Hi screenie, I'm running 5 openvz servers. The first one deployed last year is a proxmox. It's still running version 1.1. Then I have a couple of Debian Lenny based 686 and amd64 ones I installed from scratch. I don't think you should mix the two. It's either proxmox with their choice of kernel or debian GNU/Linux lenny with their kernel. proxmox:~# uname -a Linux proxmox 2.6.24-2-pve #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jan 14 11:32:49 CET 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux proxmox:~# cat /proc/mdstat cat: /proc/mdstat: No such file or directory proxmox:~# modprobe md proxmox:~# cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : unused devices: <none> proxmox:~# modprobe raid10 raid0 raid456 raid1 proxmox:~# cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid10] [raid0] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid1] unused devices: <none> So apt-get install mdadm and figure out how to make proxmox use the software raid you setup.
