[PVE-User] Stability problems in PVE 1.1?

[Venefax]

Dell followed the same instructions exactly and it could not make it login.
My box is 64 bits, how is it yours?

If you want to install the GPG key for this repo:

wget ftp://ftp.sara.nl/debian_sara.asc
apt-key add debian_sara.asc

Here is how you get OMSA working on Debian. I am using this currently
without problems.

Taken from: http://blog.zztopping.com/2008/04/29/dell-omsa-debian-64bit/

1. add the following repo to your /etc/apt/sources.list
deb ftp://ftp.sara.nl/pub/sara-omsa dell  sara

2. run "apt-get update"

3. run "apt-get install dellomsa"

4. download the following 32-bit version files to /root
http://packages.debian.org/etch/i386/libpam-modules/download
http://packages.debian.org/etch/i386/libsepol1/download
http://packages.debian.org/etch/i386/libselinux1/download

5. extract the packages with dpkg
dpkg -x *.deb ./temp

6. copy the files that begin with "libse" to the /lib32 directory
7. copy the files that begin with "pam_" to the /lib32/security (may have to
mkdir security)

8. edit /etc/pam.d/omauth, change /lib/security to /lib32/security

9. run ldconfig

10. start OMSA /etc/init.d/dsm_om_connsvc start

11. now browse to OMSA https://x.x.x.x:1311/   logon as root

I had to abandon Prxmox VE because of similar issues, including memory
running out on an openvz container. But I believe the main issue is Debian,
because Dell does not support Debian and the drivers, in my opinion, are not
the same quality of the Red Hat (Centos) or Suse drivers, which are
supported. So Proxmox should have chosen a better underlying OS, instead of
Debian. Now look at this: in a corporation we only buy Dell, HP or IBm
servers, because they do have 4 hour hardware response support. Not even
Supermicro gets in. Proxmox has a great product but it should run on an
enterprise-class OS. I spent two days with Dell trying to install the
Hardware Manager on Debian, to see of there are issues with memory,
processor or disks, and Dell could not make it work. You cannot deploy a
machine on a rack that you cannot manage.

Hello all,

I am experiencing problems with a recently upgraded Proxmox VE system.
These problems began after upgrading to 1.1.  Originally the system was
a 0.9 beta 2 version which ran like a champ.  All VMs discussed here are
KVM based.

The PVE system has locked up twice now.  The first time all but one VM
was non-responsive and the web console would not load.  The second time
all the VM's became unresponsive but the console could be reached.  In
both cases the PVE server had to be rebooted to get things running again.

In addition to that problem, performance has been sporadic, sometimes
very fast, sometimes intermittently slow, sometimes they lock up for a
few moments and then resume.

Some of the differences between 0.9b2 setup and the 1.1 are:
 * Switched from single CPU to muliple CPUs on the VMs.
 * Switched from rtl8139 to e1000 virtual network cards VMs (installed
e1000 windows drivers from link provided on PVE wiki.)

All but one of the VMs on this server are Windows 2000-2008 machines.

I have also noticed similar slowdowns and temporary lockups on another
PVE 1.1 system running KVM linux servers with multiple CPUs but using
rtl8139 drivers.

I couldn't find anything in the logs on either PVE system that jumped
out to me as a problem, but there could be something non-obvious, I suppose.

Has anyone experienced anything like this?  Any suggestions for
resolving these problems?

Thanks,
Theron
