I rebooted the version 8 server yesterday. This morning it's not showing an error on either server (never touched the version 7 machine). It looks like all backups ran successfully last night. So I don't know what caused it, or what fixed it, but it's currently working.
I have two Proxmox servers running currently. One is 8.03 and the other is 7.3-4 Eventually everything will be on the new server but I don't have all the vms moved yet.
I see my backups are failing with an error

Success! I I added the physical drive to the Datacenter Storage and set it as an LVM. It now shows up with the other drives.
Funny.. this is about the 15th time I've set up Proxmox on a machine and I've had more trouble this time than all the other times combined. I don't recall going through...
Thanks. Working my way through that now having already done some of those steps from the earlier page reference.
Question: in step 4 it has me creating a volume group. Do I still need to do that step even if I'm just adding a single drive or do I just skip this step in this case?
And...
On the page you sent me to it says "We highly recommend to use a hardware RAID controller (with BBU) for such setups. This increases performance, provides redundancy, and make disk replacements easier (hot-pluggable)." so I'm not sure why you said earlier that it's discouraged. It looks like...
I use QEMU so I don't think the ZFS is an issue for me (it's never been a problem on my old server). I'm running almost all Windows VMs and I understand they work better with QEMU 2cows anyway.
What I don't understand is why the 25TB drive only shows up as 264GB of space in Proxmox. The...
I'll be filling that space with VMs and backups. Mostly VMs. I'm not using NAS for my live VMs but I do store a backup taken a few times a day on the same drive as the VM. In the evening I'm storing backups on the NAS drives. So to answer your question, I want to use the 25GB for the live VMs.
I did a new install of V8.0.3 and was getting ready to copy my VMs over to the server when I realized my 25TB Raid drive isn't correct. What do I need to do to allow Proxmox to use that space?
I don't know if it's the same issue. When I tried to install V8 on my backup machine I got a black screen. Had to start the install over and go to Advanced options and run the nomodeset option. It seemed to proceed with the install (which it listed as debug mode) however I was never able to get...
I reached out to a person who works with Linux daily. We attempted a clean installation several times but always had the same result as above. He could force a mount with manual commands but Proxmox would never mount the nfs. Changing the storage.cfg didn't help either.
Eventually we decided...
I started over again following the instructions in the WIKI. The server comes up with the correct IPs however the network storage still shows a question mark on all of them. Running systemct1 shows repeating lines that read:

It's a new day and I just now see what you were saying. But actually I AM creating a true restore for that machine. It's new hardware but it's an exact replacement for my backup server. None of the settings are different from my backup server. They are different from my primary server...
Interesting. I did a full installation from the ISO DVD, which it said would wipe everything on the drive in the process. How would that have been less than a full install? Once installation was finished I copied the files from the instructions but edited them to set the new IPs to avoid...
I'm running the two systems on different IP addresses (both LAN and WAN) so I have both units up and running but only have VMs running in one unit. I can trash the second unit and start over but I need to know what I did wrong first so I don't do it again on the rebuild. I was following the...
I'm building a new machine to run a new installation of Proxmox 8 and will then transfer all my VMs over.
Following the instructions on the WIKI a copied the /etc/pve, as well as /etc/passwd, /etc/network/interfaces, /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/pve/storage.cfg files from the old server to the...
