Years ago one could create Linux VMs specifying a dynamic memory allocation (ie with a minimum memory setting different from the normal one). This did not work well on Windows VMs. Has this been rectified in recent PVE versions?

Re-read what I wrote and indeed does not make sense :D From an admin's point of view the way the toggles are setup one might assume that there is some performance-related consistency. That is if the switch is set to the left (off) performance improves, whereas moving it to the right security...

Great information, thank you! A bit confusing is the fact that these flags do not operate in the sense that setting them to off improves performance. For example, the aes option, if I understand correctly will decrease if the flag is set to off. I'll set the following to off: pcid, spec-ctrl...

Hey Thomas, long time no see :) I've been using host as the CPU time, it's the flags part that got me confused. So would enabling all flags be ok in this case? Again, no external access will be made on the box, just internal stuff I'm using.

I'm setting up a Windows Server 2022 VM and noticed these flags. My PVE node is single -> not a part of a cluster, therefore no need to migrate etc. Processor is an Intel Xeon 4208 (IIRC). From the looks of it, the flags exist to mitigate various CPU-level attacks. Assuming that nothing as such...

Thank you!

I'm setting up NUT for the first time on a PVE host. This will be a NUT client (in this case connected to a Synology NAS that operates as a NUT server). There's a section that entails to what should be done when the system should go down. At the moment this is simply a /sbin/shutdown -h +0...

Even though some time has passed, I'm posting this for whoever might stumble into the same situation (ie modifying a non-UEFI-based Windows boot to UEFI-based). You can do this in two steps, in less than 1-2 hours. The procedure involves (a) migrating first the MBR disk contents to a GPT...

Not an expert here, but perhaps you'd like to update to the latest version, which seems to be 7.11.

Is the server having the latest firmware for P408i-a?

Answering my own post here, after reading @spirit 's responses in https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/question-how-to-create-vlan-aware-bridge-with-linux-bridge.85170/ and viewing the specific points about VLAN interfaces on https://youtu.be/zx5LFqyMPMU?si=yVu5IW_2OyTCzeiv&t=1163 I found out that...

Hey mate, thanks for the post. Read it and viewed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljq6wlzn4qo as well. My setup is slightly different: connection of eno1 is to a managed switch port that carries both untagged (VLAN=1, of sorts) and tagged (100, 200) traffic. In your example, it feels like...

Got a host running PVE 8.2, that has a single NIC, eno0. A vmbr0 is also connected. The interface is physically connected to a switch port that is configured to carry LAN untagged traffic, as well as DMZ (vlan id = 100) and WAN (vlan id = 200) VLAN'ed traffic. Now, some VMs on my host should...

Thanks for the information. I went ahead and used the SSD in a hardware mirror setup, whereas left the HDDs as they are. Installed PVE to use the mirrored SSD as a boot XFS drive and then created a ZFS ZRAID pool from the 3 HDDs. Seems to be fine for the time being, will monitor.

Same controller here as well, and in need for the same information since I'm trying to find out whether I'll use ZFS or not on my DL360Gen 10 with Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 RAID controller. Would be grateful if you @wonkyponky could share some info on what you've actually used and how that...
