    Problem migrating VMs in a Proxmox 9 cluster with VLAN on vmbr0.

    Have you checked the IP configuration of the hypervisor? Does vmbr0 indeed not have an interface attached? Compare the output of "ip a" and "cat /etc/network/interfaces" across the nodes. The error says that vmbr0 (which is a bridge) does not have an interface attached. good luck...

    I cannot connect to the WebUI

    Please repeat the curl command with https prefix. Its very likely that your switch/router is blocking access on non-standard ports. Make sure that PVE IP is not within the DHCP range of the router. Cheers Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox -...

    VDI mit Proxmox und Shared Storage

    Ich bin sicher, dass es möglich sein wird, sobald Broadcom dem letzten Kunden den letzten Cent abgenommen hat und den VMFS-Code schließlich als Open Source freigibt. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox

    [TUTORIAL] Understanding QCOW2 Risks with QEMU cache=none in Proxmox

    Hi @Alwin Antreich Good question. I’d expect both cache=direct and cache=writethrough to offer stronger consistency guarantees, but I’ll run some tests and report back. For what it’s worth, some of the confusion around cache=none stems from the link you shared (we also reference it in our...

    NVMe over TCP support?

    Hi @PmUserZFS , apologies about missing your question earlier. Seems like you found a way on your own! Our connection management is wrapped in the native storage Plugin, but at a high level its similar. Live Migration implies cluster, cluster implies shared storage, shared storage is NOT...

    [SOLVED] Creating or resizing large disk fails - external NFS storage (plenty of space and inodes available...)

    Hi @greg.amos@capitolimagings, and welcome to the forum. The error you’re seeing is most likely related to a limitation on the NAS side. The final “no space left” message is essentially a catch-all response, it’s what the client receives when the NAS stops allowing further file creation. Since...

    [TUTORIAL] Understanding QCOW2 Risks with QEMU cache=none in Proxmox

    Hi @Kurgan, Your question reminded me of another advantage of LVM: its volatile metadata doesn't reside in a user-land address space, so a process kill can't put it into a state that leads to data loss. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox -...

    Issue with attached ISO, cannot migrate VM to second host

    It may be worth filing a detailed bug/enhancement here https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/ where it will get evaluated by developers and accepted/rejected. I would first confirm the behavior - create a test VM, attach ISO, take a snapshot, remove/detach ISO, cold start VM - check that issue actually...

    Proxmox 9.1.1 FC Storage via LVM

    Thank you for providing additional information. We will review and digest. We do not use either LVM or QCOW in our integration with PVE, so we have limited exposure with these technologies in some of our legacy customer environments. Our most recent experience is explained here. Blockbridge ...

    Homelab/Home Office 2-Node Proxmox Setup: When to Use PDM vs PVE-CM (Clustering)?

    If I am not mistaken, there is no "shared storage" concept with PDM. While you can migrate the VMs across two independent PVEs, that is achieved via remote-copy, not shared storage. Even ZFS replication, when managed by PVE, requires a cluster. Since its a home lab - give both a try and see...
