Proxmox VE 7.4 released!

USB device is Conbee II - it does work with pve-edk2-firmware=3.20220526-1
Does the VM boot with the never version of pve-edk2-firmware if you remove the passthrough?

HA is installed by using script:
Code:
bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/vm/haos-vm.sh)"

Issue should be reproducable:
1) I've installed proxmox 7.2 on new ssd
2) install HA from script above - VM boots and works ok
3) upgraded to the 7.4
4) VM doesn't boot any more: UEFI loop
Discussion moved to here
 
I can reproduce this on a Windows10-vm and on a Windows11-vm.

Intel NUC7i5BNH - 4 x Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7260U CPU @ 2.20GHz (1 Socket)
Does it happen consistently every time you try to boot these VMs or only sometimes? Does downgrading QEMU make them work again? That is, using apt install pve-qemu-kvm=7.1.0-4 (or look at /var/log/apt/history.log to check what version you had installed before) and then shutdown/stop and start the VMs again.

Successfully upgraded 7.4 from 7.3, but package proxmox-ve doesn't upgrade.

Tested in 2 machines, same thing.

(at least I think it upgraded ok, webgui displays "Virtual Environment 7.4-3")

With pve-edk2-firmware 3.20230228-1 the issue doesn't appear anymore.

Glad to hear! But what about the Windows 10 VM? The config you posted doesn't even use EDK2/OVMF. If it works now, maybe it was just a one-off issue there?
 
Mounted proxmox-ve_7.4-1.iso as image file via ILO Integrated Remote Console on HP DL360 G7. Impossible to use installer:

1680097712396.png

The first screen with boot menu selection is 1024x768, but in initializaton phase screen switch to 640x480. Any way to stay in 1024x768 at least? Or the only way is direct USB stick?
 
HP DL360 G7
at least on a HP DL380 G8 it is necessary to add `intremap=off` to the kernel cmdline (else the console is terribly sluggish) - try that for the g7 as well (hit 'e' in the boot-screen 'Install Proxmox VE' and add it to the linux line at the end after the splash=silent)

However we usually plug the ISO directly into the machine - as the iLO has caused some issues in the past - so not sure if sharing via iLO works well with the G7

I hope this helps!

Nope, doesn't help.
 
This is my workaround,try it:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="console=ttyS1,115200 console=tty0 intel_iommu=off intremap=off"

It's even more crazy. Old 17" monitors are "Out of range", "No input supported", full HD same. Everything stops working after grub selection and before EULA screen.
PVE 7.1-2 iso works without hiccup.
 
Restored VM backup
from
pve-manager/7.3-3/c3928077 (running kernel: 5.15.74-1-pve)
to
pve-manager/7.4-3/9002ab8a (running kernel: 5.15.102-1-pve)

noVNC console doesn't work. VM is debian 11, VM is up and pingable.

Sorry for the question, it's been a while since I tried proxmox, but why don't the turnkey templates appear anymore? Do I have to do something to add them or they will definitely not be there anymore? I'm using v7.4

Thank you.
 
Keep up the good work!
One notable addition is the extended support of VM balancing. I understand that the balancing is triggered only under specific conditions such as node failure, resource/guest start-up and HA group changes. I am wondering if the VM balancing will be supported also on cases where all the nodes are healthy and the distribution of VMs/load is not even so as to automatically migrate VMs for improved load sharing between nodes.

@czechsys I have experienced similar sounding problems on a couple of HP servers (can't remember the models). Not a fix, but to get around it I ended up doing a minimal Debian install and installing Proxmox on top of that. Detals at https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_11_Bullseye

yes, this is planned. It's the Dynamic-Load scheduling mode on the roadmap: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Roadmap#Roadmap
