Hi all, I am new to Open vSwitch and I've been running into an issue that I'm hoping someone may be able to help me with. I'm trying to set up SecurityOnion in my Proxmox homelab. My server only has 1 NIC, so I've added a second NIC adapter using my Thunderbolt 3 port. As a result, I also had...

Thanks so much! Appreciate it!

Thanks for the heads up on this! Is there some documentation I can follow as a relative-beginner in Proxmox? I found the following on the Proxmox Wiki, but it appears to reference several steps without much detail: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/PCI(e)_Passthrough#_mediated_devices_vgpu_gvt_g

Hi all, I have an Intel NUC running Proxmox 6.3-2 and I am trying to spin up a Windows 10 VM. Based on my research so far, it looks like I need to enable GPU passthrough if I want the Windows 10 VM to take advantage of the system's GPU. But this would effectively lock the GPU to that single...

Thanks for the info! When I install Proxmox on my 500GB disk, it looks to provision about 100GB for "local" storage. Based on my understanding - I can use local storage for backups, storing ISOs, and CT Templates. But if I plan to do most (if not all) of that on an NFS share, I likely will never...

Hi all, Quick question - when installing Proxmox, you are presented the option of choosing which disk to install it on and some advanced configuration options (i.e. hdsize, swap file size, etc.) if I am installing Proxmox on a device with two drives (a 500GB drive and a 1TB drive) and am...

The only remaining question I have left is - your volume is fully allocated at 99% while my volume is at 97%. Obviously, this is not a huge difference (and in my case that 3% which is not allocated only amounts to a few GBs). But I'm just curious how that % is determined and if I should bother...

It looks like the below link answers my second question. Just wanted to post it in case anyone comes across this thread in the future! :) https://dannyda.com/2020/07/11/what-is-the-difference-between-local-and-local-lvm-on-proxmox-ve-pve-which-to-use-why-use-local-local-lvm/

Got it, thanks! This makes far more sense to me now. I really appreciate it! I have just a few remaining questions to help me get on my feet: 1.) Is it normal to have a certain % of the disk not allocated towards the LVM? I'm assuming that space which is not provisioned is needed by the system...

Thanks for the feedback and recommendation. For the time being, I think I will use the NVME drive for Proxmox, but I may certainly revisit that later. I understand Proxmox will use the install device for storage of VMs and containers. Where I am still a bit unclear though is when I go to the...

Hi all, I'm fairly new to LVM storage, so looking for a bit of guidance. I currently have Proxmox installed on an Intel NUC with a NVME drive and a second SSD drive. Proxmox is installed on the NVME drive. I played around in Proxmox a bit setting up VMs and uploading ISOs, but I recently...

For anyone that comes across this thread - switching to Legacy Boot mode seems to have resolved this issue.

I've been trying to figure this out for a few hours now and had no luck... I am trying to install Proxmox 5.3 on a NUC8i5BEH. When the Proxmox menu appears, I select "Install Proxmox VE" A screen appears with the message "Loading initial ramdisk ..." and then the screen goes black and...
