After doing a dist-upgrade on my nodes today, one node dropped out. I tried several things suggested in various "lost node" posts, eventually attempting "pvecm add <node> --force".... This resulted in the node I ran the command on showing the entire cluster as blank (no storage, no VMs), but...

If I've got 3 servers, two with default PVE created ZFS, and the other with default PVE created LVM-thin storage, is there a way to create a storage entry that works on both to store disk images so I can migrate containers between them? I've got 20 containers currently sitting on 2 temporary...

Is there an equivalent lxc command for the old "vzctl set <vmid> devnodes <device>:rw"? I have a somewhat unstable USB serial device I need passed to an LXC container. On PVE3.4, I used the above command in a udev rule to automatically reconnect the device each time it reinitialized on the...

I see that the "Notes" section is recorded within the conf files by using a # symbol like it's a comment. Is this the only comment symbol that can be used in <vmid>.conf files, or is there another that is treated as not being a "note"? I have several containers that use external hardware and...

I have 2 nodes running 3.4 as a cluster. I want to break this up so I can upgrade/reinstall one with 5.x and start migrating the VZ containers to LXC. Instructions seem to be to shut down node to be upgraded/reinstalled, then run "pvecm delnode <node>" on remaining node. However I have concerns...

Something that has always bugged me about Proxmox's web GUI is the left column/tree listing is sorted by VM type, then VMID, with no option to change it (at least not that I've ever found)... Personally, I'm usually thinking about hostnames, not VMIDs. It would be nice if there was a few...

I'm just creating yet another Linux KVM machine for testing some stuff, and I started wondering if there's any technical reason virtio isn't pre-selected when choosing Linux as the guest OS... Almost all Linux distros have support for virtio out of the box, so to me it would make sense to have...

I know I can do this myself, but why reinvent the wheel? Does anyone already have a basic hook script that simply mounts a device at "job-start" and unmounts it at "job-end"? Also, while I'm asking, is there a why to abort a backup from the hook scripts is errors are detected (such as the...

Sorry for asking a stupid question that's probably been answered before (but I want to get this finished tomorrow)... I'm mostly just after confirmation on my logic to save me some time tomorrow. I currently have a KVM Linux VM acting as a router. It has a tagged VLAN interface inside it...

Just making a note here in case someone else has this happen... Couldn't see any existing threads that mentioned this little issue and fix. So I've got a VZ container that has a few hundred GB of data stored on it. I just noticed the free space and used space was being misreported while...

I'm hoping to do a fairly clean Asterisk install onto a PVE host as a test - I've got some weird stuff happening with Asterisk on a KVM machine and want to rule out the virtualisation.Anyway, it appears PVE has it's own libopenais3 package with a different name. The Debian Asterisk package...

OK, first up is a little bug with the Proxmox web GUI... When editing a CDROM to change it from using the physical CD drive to "none", the OK button gets greyed out until an ISO storage location is chosen. I think it also happens when changing from none to physical too. This seems to only...

I've recently upgraded to 2.1 from 1.9 by simply reinstalling clean and importing backups. Everything is working fine, except for one container that uses iptables rules to mangle some packets... This container starts OK, but the iptables rules never get applied because of this: trudy:~#...

I have a standalone box that needs to be upgraded from 1.9 to 2.x. I kind of want some advice to reduce the chances of long down times... One VM in particular can't be down for long because it runs the phones. But some others are huge (one in particular has around 400GB) and will take hours...

Is there some reason I need to shut down a guest that is using the physical cd drive if i want to change discs? Is this a limitation of KVM or Proxmox? Or is it something odd about Windows Server 2008?

Long story short - a client is now running Proxmox with a Win2K8 guest. They need to run Windows backup on this, and would like to use multiple USB hard disks in rotation. What is the current best method to get the USB disks to show in Windows in such a way that they can plug and unplug them...

If an ISO image is deleted but a KVM machine still refers to it, the KVM machine will refuse to start with no errors reported. To reproduce: Create KVM refering to ISO image (don't start VM) Delete ISO Attempt to start KVM guest I had this just happen with a fairly important KVM guest. It was...

What's the current status of PCI passthrough? What do I need to do to make it happen? I ran "qm set 123 -hostpci x:x:x *" which seems to have worked, but lspci on the VM doesn't show the card. Longer version: I've got a PCIe FXS/FXO card which I want to pass through to a virtual machine acting...

Potentially stupid question from someone fairly new to VZ - I migrated an existing VZ container from an old non-Proxmox server (I had nothing to do with the company that owns it until about 4 weeks ago), and it's running great... Except for the fact that it's showing 0.00GB used space. In...

Has anyone managed to install Dell OMSA 6.3 on Proxmox VE? If yes, how did you do it?
