They don't use barebones. They just assemble motherboard, CPU, RAM, HDD on a singular open blade and they stick more of those servers into an 1U. This way they power up more servers on one line. They're water cooled and all that stuff.
Got one with them in the last sale, the BHS one has some decent network as well.
It doesn't want to work for me. If I set up a new container with bridged networking I get no interfaces in the container other than lo.
Yes, you need to add it manually for example, in debian:
Save, exit, ifup eth0. It will autostart at boot.
@nimdy
Not sure what you've done so far but probably best to just reinstall Promox. then
nano /etc/sysctl.confAdd the following lines, save and exit..
In putty issue command
sysctl -pUnder the following file
nano /etc/modulesadd the line, to enable ipv6 on reboot.. save and exit.
ipv6From Proxmox ver 3.2 you can input ipv6 addresses directly in the network tab when creating your CT. No need to vzctl or use a private ip.
Once Proxmox completes creating your CT, just select it and under the DNS tab remove the v4 DNS if you have a IPv6 only VPS and replace with Google's public DNS
2001:4860:4860::8888You need to manually change the DNS for each new CT you create since the Global DNS setting for proxmox still does not recognize v6 address..
The IP "2001:41D0:8:XXXX::1" is already used for the host node so when you create a CT I would start with something like..
2001:41D0:8:XXXX::5This setting works for all 4 of my kimsufi servers.. anyways good luck.

Here's the weird thing. Out of annoyance I have reinstalled Proxmox from the Kimsufi control panel. The first thing I do when its finished reinstalling is SSH into the server and ping6 google.com. I still get the same
I don't understand. It can obviously resolve the address as it shows "lhr14s21-in-x09.1e100.net", but there are no response lines. If I ping6 my own IPv6 address I get responses.
The same goes for traceroute ipv6.google.com. It times out after the 30th line.
If I do apt-get update it reloads most of the sources but gets stuck on one of the OVH mirrored ones as I can see this line:
This is fresh out of the box installation, so nothing I've done. I then followed your instructions and still get the same results. I'm stumped
Try install another os see if IPv6 works
@nimdy
So you are doing this from the host node not a CT you created?
if so I noticed your host name is different did you change any of the following?
/etc/hosts
/etc/hostname
If so the host name you choose needs to resolve.. so eg. htpps://abigail.com:8006 should take you to proxmox.
Also if you don't have a subscription to proxmox you need to change to the "Proxmox VE No-Subscription Repository"
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_repositories
and it's tracetroute6 not traceroute.
@earl
Yes this is on the host node. I want to make sure that is working before creating CTs.
The hostname is abigail, but the domain name is abigail.example.com.
/etc/hosts shows:
and
/etc/hostname shows
I use Cloudflare for my domain DNS and both the A and AAAA records for abigail.example.com point to the Kimsufi box.
I'm sure I have been able to ping 6 addresses on this box before. I may follow @Maounique's suggestion and install another distro to see if it is the Proxmox install that is borked for me. Hoping my HDD doesn't die on me - this will be the 4th time reinstalling in the last month. I don't think these boxes are as resilliant as VPS :0
[edit]
Oh sorry didn't realise there was a traceroute6 (makes sense I suppose). I have the same problems with traceroute6
@nimdy
I would try first without changing the host name cause the one that was assigned from OVH actually resolves..
If not maybe you can ask in the kimsufi forum.. sure someone would know
Best way to install proxmox is to setup wheezy and go from there:
Sure, it is not recommended in production, but I hope the KS is not for production anyway...
http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Wheezy
It might not have the OVH monitoring tools in case proxmox has them, but I use this setup now on my main computer as a desktop with Proxmox
@Maounique
I do that on my KVM VPS.. Does work great.
@earl @Maounique
I've got the same behaviour in Debian 7 installation too as well as a default Proxmox installation without me changing the hostname.
I decided to boot into rescue mode and try ping6 / traceroute6 from there. I get different responses:
I would say that says that something outside of my server configuration is at fault, would you agree?
Now to write a message to the Kimsufi forums and wait a few weeks for a response!
@nimdy I don't think IPv6 is enabled in rescue mode.. so looks normal.
@nimdy
If you want to test it in rescue mode then..
/etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 2001:4860:4860::8888/etc/network/interfaces
auto eth0 iface eth0 inet6 static address 2001:41d0:8:XXXX::1 netmask 64 post-up /sbin/ip -f inet6 route add 2001:41d0:8:XXff:ff:ff:ff:ff dev eth0 post-up /sbin/ip -f inet6 route add default via 2001:41d0:8:XXff:ff:ff:ff:ff pre-down /sbin/ip -f inet6 route del default via 2001:41d0:8:XXff:ff:ff:ff:ff pre-down /sbin/ip -f inet6 route del 2001:41d0:8:XXff:ff:ff:ff:ff dev eth0Then
service networking restartyou should be able to ping6 google.com
I imagine this was early on.
Are they out of stock? How many IPV4 is available? I assume only 1.
It tells you on their site if they are out of stock or not.
All Kimsufi servers get 1x IPv4 and 1x IPv6.
Most of the time.
Correct.
Looks like a good secondary backup node for cPanel/WHM!
Thanks
@earl
Thanks for that.
Interesting, it works there...
Guess I'll add that to the Kimsufi board thread.
Whats the phone number for kimsufi? I heard that account validation can take weeks…..
You dont get phone support.
Any type of support is via forum for KS.
If that works then technically there is nothing wrong on OVH side..
As I mentioned, reload with the proxmox image, change to the no subscription repo and follow the guide I posted.. don't change any other settings and v6 should work.
I'll try again. Fourth time lucky?
@earl
Nope, still no luck from a standard install using your steps. I really cant understand it. The people on the Kimsufi boards are saying my v6 IP isn't pingable - 2001:41d0:8:9d98::1 and asking if I have made any firewall changes. I have simply installed the Proxmox template and SSH'd in, no config changes, other than your steps. I'm baffled. I'm sure I had IPv6 working on my first install a couple of weeks ago. Wish I hadn't wiped it
I tried using UptimeRobot to monitor my IPv6 and it kept reporting as down. Could be the monitor node though I guess.
Though sometimes I am able to connect to ftp.debian.org via IPv6.
Try the other way, put up wheezy, test IPv6, add proxmox over it, test ipv6, then make a vm, test ipv6 see where it breaks.
Hmm.. what I find odd is that I can't ping your gateway.. regardless of your IP I would think you should be able to ping your gateway.
You can try @Maounique suggest and try a different OS, other than that I suppose you would have to wait for support to get back to you on it..
