Hello, I enjoyed using Proxmox 3 for years, now decided to upgrade to Proxmox 5. After MANY hours of confusion I decided to ask the experts for a hint how to proceed. In Proxmox 3 after installation I had the following situation: /dev/mapper/pve-root was mounted to the root directory (100GB)...

Thank you Udo for that explanation. The reason for asking the question above was, that I am not able to use local-lvm, since the Templates button and the Upload button are inactive (grey), as shown in the attached picture. So I better should have asked for a hint how to upload my VM backups to...

Thank you very much for the hints, Udo. In the meantime I installed Proxmox VE 4.3 (proxmox-ve_4.4-eb2d6f1e-2.iso), but with swapsize=16, maxroot=20, minfree=16 and maxvz=879 (hdsize is 931). The installation gave the same result: no /dev/mapper/pve-data. For that installation the outputs are...

Hello, I decided to upgrade from Proxmox VE 3.4 to 5 using proxmox-ve_5.0-5ab26bc-5.iso After fresh installation with default values concerning the HDD (ext4, no changes to swapsize, maxroot, ...) I miss the directory /dev/mapper/pve-data # df -hT Filesystem Type Size Used...

Hello, finally I found a solution that worked for me in the Proxmox forum https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/19743-ProxMox-3-2-to-3-3-impressions-and-a-problem. I just had to add the line machine: pc-i440fx-1.7 to conf-file of the Win-VM (see /etc/pve/qemu-server). Up to now I have not used...

Hello Wolfgang, thank you for your hints. I am a little bit confused about hardware changes, since did not change anything concerning the VM (Mac address, HDD configuration, number of virtual cores, etc.). What exactly do you mean with "rang order of devices"? To be more specific, the...

Hello, after some investigation I am pretty sure, that upgrading from Proxmox VE 3.3 to VE 3.4 deactivated the licence of my Windows 7 VM. Using the recent backup and a test server, I am able to reproduce the fact, that it stays activated on Proxmox 3.3 and loses activation on Proxmox 3.4. Sure...

Re: Access the web interface of a server behind a router Hello Phyrene, thank you very much for that swift and great answer. This solved my problem. Kind regards, Ralf

Hello, at my home lab I have a local network with two proxmox servers behind a router. With https://101.101.101.32:8006 and with https://101.101.101.111:8006 I can connect to the proxmox web interfaces of the two servers. In order to access the proxmox web interfaces from the internet I...

Hi, the problem has been solved. I contacted the hoster and they found that "they did apply a too restrictive policy at some switch". Kind regards, Ralf.

Hi, thank you for your reply. # exportfs /home/nfs 2.2.2.2 /home/nfs 1.1.1.1 Since 2.2.2.2 was not able to mount the nfs, I tried to mount it on 1.1.1.1 locally. And yes, the line is /home/nfs 2.2.2.2(rw,no_root_squash,async) 1.1.1.1(rw,no_root_squash,async) Sorry about the typo...

Summary: On Server1 I want to configure a nfs server. Server2 is the nfs client. For comparison I configured a nfs server on Server3. Server2 can mount the nfs file system of Server3, but does not mount the nfs file system on Server1, which is the problem I have. Server1 has IP 1.1.1.1, Server2...

The server was replaced by a new one and since then the described problem has not occured anymore. Thanks for your help.

Thank you very much for the hints! According to that, I started with a look at /var/log/syslog. In fact, there are lines like Aug 10 14:48:49 81-7-13-161 kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Unhandled error code Aug 10 14:48:49 81-7-13-161 kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET...

Hello, I have a new server with fresh installed Proxmox 3.2 and I created a Debian VM. I shutdown the VM and thereafter shutdown the Proxmox host, then I started the Proxmox host and tried to start the VM, but got the message "TASK ERROR: volume 'local:iso/debian-7.6.0-amd64-CD-1.iso' does not...
