Thank you for your article.

I have used this install and for whatever reason I am occasionally getting zombie processes when I do a nightly backup of the VM.

This means backups are suspended for the whole server, and requires a reboot to fix. This must be manually attended to and with OVH takes 15 minutes or so from request.

In my case I agree with you Martin and think KVM would be a better fit..

Sorry for the late reply. Even if I did include it, there are still the mods you need to do to the Proxmox install. In retrospect, I think that maybe installing it as a KVM machine is a better and simpler option.

Martin,
Great write up. It would be great if you shared your virtual appliance with the prox mox community. I tried following your directions but I managed to mess it up.

Thanks!

What can i say, Another Great write up martin, i can’t wait to see what you gonna pull outta the hat next!

Im still using proxmox 1.3 (no build tools for 1.4)
It didn’t work for me first time but after reading the post on the proxmox forum i got there in the end.
I wonder why you didn’t put these in the post.
rm -rf /dev/as0t0
vzctl exec VEID mkdir -p /dev/net
vzctl exec VEID mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
vzctl exec VEID chmod 600 /dev/net/tun

As this was needed for me. anyway thanks again.

Thank you so much for putting this together. I tried installing it with other how-tos and failed miserably. Your steps worked in my first try.

Thanks for saving many hours.

Hi,
Is there any way to make it works with venet ?
Because on some hoster like ovh.com, the pre-install version of proxmox, and the additionnal ip failover works only with venet interface … ? Any ideas to make it works ?

And great post !
Thanks
