    ProxMox host freezes, needs hard reboot

    Hi all, I'm reinstalling proxMox on a PC, and simply put it freezes after a few hours staying idle. The machine I've installed it has been my desktop Windows PC for a couple of years, during which I've never seen anything like this happening. Here are the hardware specs: Motherboard Gigabyte...

    How to switch main and backup servers while retaining data

    Hi all, I've got a bit of a conundrum, which is more difficult to explain than it actually is. I have currently 2 servers: Main server: Dell R710 running PrmoxMox 7.4-3, 8x 4TB drives in RAID5, total available space of 28TB. Running 2 VMs, one of which I couldn't care less; main VM has around...

    [SOLVED] Easiest GPU for PCIe passthrough

    Thanks for the suggestion. I've now got a GT710, it gets recognized just fine, and OpenGL programs open without any issues. I could also have gone for a Quadro K2000D which sells for £27. It seems to boil down to what driver version the GPU supports; apparently, Nvidia unlocked VM support for...

    [SOLVED] Easiest GPU for PCIe passthrough

    Can I ask you, is your VM running Windows or any Linux flavour? I'd you're running Windows, did you have any issues getting it to recognize it without the dreaded error 43?

    [SOLVED] Easiest GPU for PCIe passthrough

    I've actually remembered that I have a GT9500 at home. Quite ancient I know, but it was there already, so I'll try it following the PCI passthrough guide on the PVE website, and see if that works. If it doesn't I'll try a GT730, given the low price.

    That sounds good, I could get a GT730 1GB for £15, thank you.

    [SOLVED] Easiest GPU for PCIe passthrough

    Thank you. It should be compatible through legacy drivers, but I can't find one for a decent price (not going to spend £100 on it...). I'll keep an eye for one.

    [SOLVED] Easiest GPU for PCIe passthrough

    Hello all, if the title seems something like a newbie would ask, it's because it is... I'm in need to add a graphics card to my ProxMox 7.2-11 installation, so I can pass it to a Windows 10 VM. It doesn't need to be anything special, I simply need OpenGL support for a few programs running under...

    [SOLVED] How to expand LVM after adding storage space to RAID5

    That was it, hidden in plain sight. I've seen that command so many times, but it never clicked that it was exactly what I needed. I can see now that the total space for the PV is 28TB, and I can finally expand the existing LVs and/or create new ones. Thank you so much!

    [SOLVED] How to expand LVM after adding storage space to RAID5

    Thank you very much for the answer, however that's where I'm getting stuck. Those instructions basically say to expand the partition with parted, which is easy enough. However, parted does not recognize any partition on the disk (parted output in my original post), despite being able to see them...

    [SOLVED] How to expand LVM after adding storage space to RAID5

    Hi all, I've been searching for a solution for the past week and I'm still running around circles. I'm running ProxMox 7.2-11 on a Dell T710. The server used to have 8 1GB drives in RAID5 (total space 7TB). When installing ProxMox I've created a 7TB LVM, which I then split into smaller...

    [SOLVED] VM not starting after upgrading kernel and reboot - timeout waiting on systemd

    Woopsie you're right, I've corrected the image, thanks for spotting that. No I'm afraid, I'm not too familiar with ZFS.

    Latest Update 5.13.19-4-pve broke my QEMU PCIe Sharing. Works with 5.13.19-3

    Yep, can confirm the latest kernel broke mine too. Reverting back to 5.13.19-3-pve solved the issue. In the thread I've linked I posted how I did it, if anyone needs.

    [SOLVED] VM not starting after upgrading kernel and reboot - timeout waiting on systemd

    Open a terminal to your Proxmox server. Launch the command grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg and in there you'll need two things: The first one is the id_option from the Advanced options for Proxmox VE GNU/Linux line (circled in red, number 1), the second one is the id_option for the last...

    Did you try switching back to an older kernel version? That's what fixed it for me.

    [SOLVED] VM not starting after upgrading kernel and reboot - timeout waiting on systemd

    Ok, so it could have been the kernel. The update installed Linux 5.13.19-4-pve, which is when my VM broke. I've now restarted the server using Linux 5.13.19-3-pve, and the VM is up and running as if nothing happened. For now I'll remove that kernel version and mark it as not to be installed...

    [SOLVED] VM not starting after upgrading kernel and reboot - timeout waiting on systemd

    Hi all, quite a noob here and running Proxmox on my own home server so please bear with me. After upgrading the Proxmox kernel this morning (via a simple apt upgrade) and rebooting, one of my 2 VM is refusing to start. From this post I've tried running a systemctl stop 100.slice command (100 is...
