Oops The exact message is: create storage failed: storage 'backups' is not online (500) when I add a share. I've made some tests, on Synology we have an LDAP server and the account is xxx@domain.ext, it allows the shares to be queried but it doesn't allow adding the share. I removed the...

Hi Fiona, I ran into the same problem, and I'm up to date. The 3 servers highlighted are the same but different shares. When I add them, the shares are seen (so the credentials are correct) and I still get the 500 error. If I add disabled and enable it afterward, even after a reboot they won't...

I should have better explained. My provider’s UI allows me to choose the number of disk I want to install Proxmox on, XFS or Ext4 and the RAID. previously, I installed Proxmox on Ext4, no RAID and on 1 disk. Then using Proxmox UI I created a zfs pool with the 3 other disks. This was fine and...

Hi, so I was doing this since march. Installed on ext4. Then I saw I was able to access IPMI KVM and installed a server with Proxmox ISO on ZFS filesystem. Well now I can use any img format (even QCOW2) and it seems it's using the container's snapshot capability instead of ZFS' but I may be...

It was a test server, I wanted to try to regenerate the keys, but it ended up expiring because I ordered a more powerful machine. Thank you for your help !

Well. If it fails, I'll just have to clone it again, won't I ? ಠ‿ಠ

Well... I'm sure, these are SoYouStart servers, one un Canada, one in Poland, both installed using their online installer (their image), and I don't have access to boot. So I have no way to clone them even if I wanted to So you're saying that I could have copy pasted the servers' ssh_host_*...

That's what I saw. But I also found Manipulating Guest CPUID and the solution shows that it's possible to change the CPUID returned by the guest when queried, at least on VMWare. That's what I'm looking for but you're right about maybe not being what I need. When I look at my license and...

I have 2 servers in a cluster, different machine, different location, but in a cluster. I can see that these 2 servers have the same ID, I personally don't mind but I wanted to try cv4pve, which crashed because the 2 nodes have the same server ID. They are telling me it's because I cloned the...

I have an ESXi installation at work, we had a massive ransomware attack and I decided to migrate the machines from ESXi to Proxmox. I'm not physically with the old machines, and I could retrieve Veeam backups containing only the vmdk files and the vmx configuration. I imported the vmdk files to...

Is there a way to change or set a machine CPUID on PVE 6.3? I moved from ESXi to Proxmox, I have the old CPUID. I don't find much results online, and `kvm -cpu` doesn't seem to allow setting this parameter. Thanks for your help

dd/clonezilla seems to be a "can't fail" method, but would require double the space. Do you think there is an in place method which would work on the file itself no matter its format? I'm simply trying to understand why cropping the disk in the unallocated space fails... I know the MBR is...

This I'm aware, thank you for pointing it to me. When I talked about "unallocated space" I really meant it, the partition table shows "unallocated space". I left it like this anyway, but for the sake of knowledge, would it be possible without playing with dd and a second disk?

I have 2 disks from an old VM I'd like to backup just in case. The first disk is a 1TB disk and has 2 partitions of 500GB. The second disk is a 30GB disk with a partition taking all the space. First thing I did was to sdelete the 3 partitions, then boot on gparted iso and shrunk every partition...

Currently, I installed Proxmox and its local storage on disk 1, and post install I created a zpool on disks 2, 3 and 4. I see. According to this post and the authors advices, I wanted to take advantage of FS snapshots, ZFS seems to be the FS of any admin's dream. I'm still in a test env, so I...
