    DSLicSrv anyone move this to Proxmox Successfully? Specifically from Nutanix

    I do not condone trying to circumvent vendor's protection put in place to prevent what you are trying to do. That said, I'd be somewhat surprised if MAC was the only thing that they go by. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox

    DSLicSrv anyone move this to Proxmox Successfully? Specifically from Nutanix

    There are a number of different threads to pull here. Nutanix had the benefit of original physical host, and as you can see from the config, it is also obfuscating that the OS is now virtualized. The MAC address may have been the last piece for the license check, but there could be more than...

    Quick HOWTO on setting up iSCSI Multipath

    Microsoft is still catching up with NVMe/TCP, and we've encountered PSODs on ESXi in the past related to NVMe/TCP connections. iSCSI is extremely mature and broadly supported. As mentioned, it may make sense in more scenarios than initially appears. This article may be useful for readers who...

    DSLicSrv anyone move this to Proxmox Successfully? Specifically from Nutanix

    I am not a Nutanix expert, and I am aware that is more blackbox type of a solution. That said, it is running QEMU/KVM, similar to PVE. There could be a way to get more data on how the VM is started via CLI. There has to be a way to backup/export VM config in a better representation than a...

    May I ask if PVE supports the following operating systems

    Virtual machine support is better classified first by CPU architecture rather than by the guest OS itself. At this point, the relevant architectures are x86 and ARM. The next question is whether the guest OS supports the virtual hardware presented to it by PVE/QEMU. All of the operating systems...

    Shared NFS storage showing status: unknown on 2nd pve host.

    Hi @kawano-y , I think OP may have moved on as this thread is from July 2025. But it is always nice to know what the resolution was! Cheers Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox

    DSLicSrv anyone move this to Proxmox Successfully? Specifically from Nutanix

    Admiteddly, I have not installed/used this service. That said, can you export VM configuration in huma-readable format from Nutanix? It may be useful to compare that to the PVE VM config. So if you can include both - perhaps someone can spot something. Have you confirmed the MAC address match in...

    Data Domain over NFS and Access TIme Issues

    I don't think there is a way to do this, but Dell/EMC/DD is the best source to ask this question. The check was added as a bumper against accidentally GC what is being in use. You can disable it but then you risk running into the original issue of what the bump was created to prevent. The...

    Manually set Cloud-init `instance_id` doesn't work

    The man page does call it it out: qm cloudinit dump <vmid> <type> Get automatically generated cloudinit config. <vmid>: <integer> (100 - 999999999) The (unique) ID of the VM. <type>: <meta | network | user> Config type. Automatic=built-in...

    Recommendation for software-defined storage for Proxmox on OVH (with Veeam snapshot integration)

    Hi @tuttle333 , welcome to the forum. Veeam does not perform storage-integrated snapshots with any type of storage when combined with PVE. The functionality you are thinking of is VMware specific. Cheers Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox -...

    Manually set Cloud-init `instance_id` doesn't work

    The dump option only has a view into internal PVE CI, it does not reflect custom configuration. Booting your VM is the best way to check whether the ID was applied, and if it was not - check ci log inside the VM. Cheers, Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox -...

    Proxmox VE 9.2 – sporadic iSCSI NOP timeouts / DID_TRANSPORT_DISRUPTED with Dell PowerVault ME5 and Intel E810

    Hi @huganega , Are you sure that you looked at the correct network interface? The one used by iSCSI? If you've confirmed that there are no network layer errors, then issue is likely in the higher layer of the stack. A rolling network trace would definitively tell you whether the reply is delayed...

    Quick Question About Multipath

    The best place for recommendation on multipath file is your vendor's documentation. I think this may be what they want, but I'd check with them first: devices { device { vendor "Lenovo" product "DS4200" path_grouping_policy "group_by_prio" path_selector...

    Quick Question About Multipath

    There is no built-in way to assign user-friendly names to the devices, if you want to continue using DATASTORE* - you have to continue doing it manually. You didnt specify what version of PVE you are using. In PVE9, for example, : root@pve9r2-nvme-host1:~# multipath -t|grep -i find...

    Quick Question About Multipath

    How @adrianovf , Proxmox VE does not, currently, deal with Multipath at all. The management is done at the OS level which is Debian. There are Kernel and Userland parts to multipath. Generally, you should not need to edit the configuration in an unmodified multipath install. So it is likely...
