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 trying to acquire cfs lock 'storage-NAS3' ... trying to acquire cfs lock...

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'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...

Being not so great on linux I was trying to avoid problems by following the step-by-step instructions on the wiki page at https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_7_to_8 I'm replacing my old server with a new one so to make sure things go smoothly I decided to do an installation on my old...

I'm getting ready to upgrade to version 8 starting with my backup server first. I'm installing from the ISO. I get the expected window where I'm selecting the top Install Proxmox option. The software starts to load and a few lines of text show on the screen. But then I get a message on the...

I'm confused by something. I was going to clone a VM today but aborted it until I figure out what I'm looking at. I have my local lvm showing 30.25% usage of 8TB however when I click on the pve->Disks-LVM it shows 100% usage of 8TB. Which is it, 30% or 100%? Why do the numbers not match? Now...

I updated to version 7.1-8 but have been having problems with backups ever since. At first the backups were all failing reporting they were unable to get a lock. In an effort to resolve the problem I deleted all my backup schedules and have recreated new ones so I could make _sure_ there was no...

I'm taking my backup machine from 6.4-13 to 7 using the steps in the wiki. I didn't get any errors, but it doesn't seem to have updated to version 7 either. The update only took about 20 seconds so I'm not sure it actually worked. Below are some outputs in case they are helpful.

I'm trying to update my existing Proxmox from 6.4-13 which was originally created with the ISO and has only been modified by updates, to the new 7. I'm frustrated that there isn't an easier way to do this. Once again the path forward in versions isn't very streamlined or user friendly. I...

I have a 6.2-15 installation running 5 Windows machines. There is a Windows10 VM that always shows the memory usage as being between 87-90% in use at all times, even when idle. When I log into the machine task manager shows it's only using about 25%. I've tried rebooting, restarting the QEMU...

I did the update to version 6.2-15 with no error messages. However since the update I've noticed that none of the graphs update. For example if I'm on a VM the graphs will draw in correctly, however they won't change... ever. The only way to update a graph is to click to another area then...

I have a non-production machine as a backup in case my production machine goes down. As a backup I do not have a subscription for it. I'm getting an error when I try to do an apt-get update apt-get update[/INDENT] Hit:1 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian buster InRelease Hit:2...

I'm in the process of building a second Proxmox 6.1-3 server as a backup machine. I'm trying to upload my ISO images to the Local (pve) drive. The first one uploaded normally however I can't upload any more ISO images. When I select the upload button it defaults to ISO image however when I...

How can I change the name of a VM, not the number, but the name that's beside it ie VM104 (Name) to VM104 (NewName). I know I could clone it and then delete the original but that seems like it's the hard way. What's the easy way?

At 4:51pm today my Task list says "Update package database" Then at 17:13 the task list shows VM100 Shutdown, VM101 Shutdown etc. At 17:16 it shows "Stop all VMs and Containers". What would cause Proxmox to shut down my VMs like that? I didn't issue any such commands. Would the package...

I have some Windows Server 2019 VMs built on Proxmox 6.1-3. I have NICs in them configured as VirtIO (paravirtualized) per recommendations. It's connected to 1GB router. However the speed on the NIC is really slow. It varies from 0 to 5mb, most of the time around 1.5-2MB/s. Why so slow...

I had a VM which I wanted to rename. I did a search of the forum and it said the way to do that was to clone the VM and use the new name in the clone so I did that. So now I'd like to delete the original VM with the old name however the Remove option is dimmed from the menu so I can't delete...

I have a Dell T320 with a PERC H710 raid controller. Dell doesn't have anything listed on their site that's compatible with the Debian OS. What's the best way to keep track of the RAID's health?

I'm a Windows guy (but I'm getting over it every day). I have a Proxmox box 6.1-3 with a RAID drive and a SATA drive. My plan is just to use the SATA to store ISO images and intra-day backups of a couple VMs. The SATA is only a 1.8GB drive. However Proxmox says the SATA drive is only...

My head is swimming as I'm trying to figure out how to build this system. I'm hoping to build a system with two Windows Server 2019 VMs on it with heavy workloads, and one with SQL loaded as well. And a third Windows 10 Professional VM on the same machine. My single 3440 2.4Ghz processor has...
