So, backup of the /etc/proxmox-backup/ directory would be sufficient for doing a bare metal restore (using the installmedia first of course)?

I am unable to have the ISC-DHCP server to serve non-VM clients with IP adresses. VM clients do get served correctly. I see the DISCOVER but the physical clients does not get any OFFER's. Is there any firewall rules that cause this? My PVE 8 have default network settings. Any idea or...

I have a boot/system disk in my PBS system that shows some SMART errors. I am a bit concerned and want to replace that disk with another fresh one. All data is on a second disk, a ZFS volume. The system disk in formatted as EXT4. Now I installed a new PBS on a secondary server using the same...

WDYM with "public domain name"?

When I installed the first PVE node, I left the hostname as PVE with a fixed IP on my subnet. Later on I decided to change the hostname to a proper one using hostnamectl. DNS is updated accordingly, and I added PVE as a CNAME for backward compatibility. But after doing that, I cannot connect...

I have local backups taken on the PVE system, stored under /store/dump (local filesystem). Now since I have a PBS up and running on a separate physical node, can I just delete the files in the dump directory? I cant see any GUI option for removal of old local backups.

I found this gem on github that explain how to backup the configuration in case of a hw failure. https://gist.github.com/free-pmx/47ea73e1921440e29d8792cc0ea1e7b9 Does this sqlite database also hold the same information as in the /etc/pve config files, or should a backup consist of both items...

I had to add an extra step after creating the "blank" VM. Even if one chose to not add a disk, an empty SCSI adapter is created. By removing this one before importing and attaching the images, I was able to fix this and import all 7 VM's successfully. Thank you for replying! /Anders

Hi. Hope that someone can guide me here. I have to import a number of VM's from a Debian/KVM host to a PVE. The original files are a mix of qcow2 and raw format. When I imported the first Windows VM (server 2019) using qm importdisk I was unable to boot it. I created the VM in PVE without an...

So I have a PVE setup on an /dev/nvme1n0 (OS only) and two blank 1TB disks that I want to use for storage of VM's, templates etc. Should I create an md (software raid) before adding the mounted mirror as a Directory? Or would it be better to let PVE create a ZFS mirror from the two blank...

Thanks. I will try the second approach since this is two different physical sites

Follow up question: would it work to have samba ad servers as vm members, I. E. running the domain inside the proxmox environment and still use these for Ad authentication?

I'd like to copy a template VM from a PBS backup location (my NAS) to on USB for import on another PVE system. If anyone could point me to a guide or instruction, I would be very grateful. It's PVE 8.2 and the latest PBS. The directory on the NAS have this content root@pbs:~# ls -lash...

I am also very curious on the progress. Offsite usb disks is what my client would like to have. Today I am using a home brewed script to manually (cron) copy qemu files to external disks.

Ok, lets start from the beginning and see if I can follow you. I also found this page that was helpful but also a bit confusing https://geekistheway.com/2022/12/31/monitoring-proxmox-ve-using-zabbix-agent/ This is what I have Zabbix 6.4 appliance installed on PVE Zabbix agent on PVE 8 On...
