    Yes, I am quite sure: $ apt-cache policy pve-edk2-firmware-aarch64 pve-edk2-firmware-aarch64: Installed: 4.2025.05-2 Candidate: 4.2025.05-2 Version table: *** 4.2025.05-2 500 500 https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pve...

    Technically, this surely is possible. How will it perform once it contains quite some data and is under load? No idea. It might be fine for your workload. It might be bad… You'll have to see how it goes.

    The pve-edk2-firmware-aarch64 package should be available in all repositories, test, no-subscription and enterprise from what I can see. The latest version in the enterprise repo is pve-edk2-firmware-aarch64_4.2025.05-2_all.deb

    aaron replied to the thread How does the licensing work?.
    First of, small but important difference: the primary license of Proxmox products is the AGPLv3. You are buying subscriptions :) The Subscription for Proxmox VE needs to match the number of physical CPUs in the server. That's why you have a few...

    Hi, have you considered using the auto-install-assistent and provide an answer file with the configuration details, already? https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Automated_Installation
  • aaron
    Awesome. This seems to be the step I was missing. Thanks! Copying virtio.iso:\Balloon\2k8\x86\* to c:\Program Files\Balloon and executing "blnsvr.exe -i" as admin did the trick for me on win2k8/x86. BalloonService now shows as service. Graph in...

    PVE 9.1.1 with vm win2008R2 the memory usage show correctly after install balloon service https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Dynamic_Memory_Management#Enable_Auto-Ballooning_on_Windows_2008r2 win2008r2 with virtio version 173
  • aaron
    Those will not report detailed memory usage. See https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_8_to_9#VM_Memory_Consumption_Shown_is_Higher The old Win 2008 machine does not report back detailed memory info. What you need is to get the guest to...
  • aaron
    Only once you get more detailed infos back via `info balloon` in the Monitor menu, can Proxmox VE itself show the inside view of the VM. So if the BalloonService is up and running, the Ballooning Device enabled, things should be good. Except...
  • aaron
    If that is all you get, then no, it is not working as expected. Is the Balloon Device enabled in the VMs -> Hardware -> Memory settings? Is the "Balloon Service" running in the Windows guest? Is there no device without a driver in the device...

    Hmm, how did you create that ZFS pool? Which version of PVE? I tried to recreate that in a test VM and even after writing almost 10G into a 10G volume, I get the following result: root@pvezfstest:~# zfs get all vms/vm-100-disk-0 NAME...
  • aaron
    Why don't you stick with the last possible virtio version for 2008 SP2? Which one that is, I don't know right away.
  • aaron
    Hmm, so the pool setup is a simple as possible: single disk. That means no additional overhead for parity. Only 1 copy and no snapshots, but still used and written twice as much as logically used. The used / written is almost double that of the...
  • aaron
    I don't see any mention of how the pool is built. Can you post the output of zpool status? If it is a RAIDZ pool, this might not be too surprising. Background: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#sysadmin_zfs_raid_considerations...

    What @apoyen said is correct. In general, also within the same major version, the following applies to live migrations: old → new version should always work. new → old can work, but there might be breaking changes. During an upgrade, you might...

    Hallo @aaron und @meyergru Kleines abschließendes Feedback: Es erklärt sich genau so wie ihr es beschrieben habt. Ich konnte es sehr schnell erkennen, als ich die Wochenansicht von Durchschnitt auf Maximum umgestellt habe. Dan sieht man genau...

    wirklich? Ist das no-subscription repo aktiv? denn dann wäre es auch trotz der Fehlermeldung nicht so tragisch, da die Pakete dann übers no-subscription kommen können
  • aaron
    Das klingt alles ein wenig seltsam. Ist evtl ein Repository auf die falsche Version konfiguriert? Kannst du mal apt update laufen lassen und den gesamten Output posten?
  • aaron
    AFAIK, snapshots as volume chains can be useful on the file system level because reverting to/deleting a snapshot in a QCOW2 image needs to halt the IO to the image at some point for more or less time. That is avoided if you use snapshot volume...
