    Feature Request: OOM Score for VMs

    Yeah, we already have a salt state that looks at running VMs and adjusts the score because the "unimportant" VM has the same name and ID at every location. But I guess the "feature-request" tag is pointless and should be deleted in the forum software? ;)

    Feature Request: OOM Score for VMs

    OOM killer is a headache in Proxmox 8.x. Systems that have been running for years under previous versions are now getting OOM killed several times per week. Every site we manage that uses Proxmox has the VMs--their main Windows Server, a remote access server, and a "vendor" machine that we...

    Observation: upgrade from 7.x to 8.x, non-stop OOM killing

    In the past 30 minutes, I had two more offices die, had to drop the memory from 16 GB to 8 GB and boot the VM back up. I'm also seeing a pattern where this OOM kill and restart of the VM is frequently followed an hour or so later by the hypervisor spontaneously rebooting with nothing in syslog...

    Observation: upgrade from 7.x to 8.x, non-stop OOM killing

    Apparently our internal testing missed this...but we recently (over the holiday break) upgraded a client with 36 locations from Proxmox 7.x to 8.x. They have been using Proxmox for a *long* time. These servers started out running Proxmox 5.x, and have been upgraded all along the way...

    Could not access KVM kernel module: No such file or directory

    I just ran into this on one of my boxes. It had been in production for years, and suddenly stopped working after upgrading to the latest proxmox. Turns out the CPU battery died and apparently the BIOS reset at some point during rebooting and disabled the Intel VT extensions.

    Proxmox Updates are Downloading Slow

    Same issues. Getting ~21 kB/s. Traceroute from Washington state ends up in Germany. Are there 'closer' servers?

    Windows Update Breaks VM

    Odd. Maybe you should just stop posting on forums. In fact, maybe Proxmox will just delete this forum since no one is paying for it. No one is demanding free support. We are posting about issues we've run into, hoping someone who is more knowledgeable can point us in the right direction or...

    Windows Update Breaks VM

    Since some of us here don't know the intimate details of everything from the Linux Kernel, to virtualization, to BIOS, etc...we're mostly hoping that someone with a bit more knowledge can point us in the right direction or give us troubleshooting tips. As a counter-argument though: If you're...

    Windows Update Breaks VM

    I'm not blaming Proxmox. I'm saying it appears to only *occur* when running as a VM under Proxmox. It doesn't occur on any of the physical workstations. It doesn't occur on the vSphere servers we manage. It doesn't occur under hyper-v. It only occurs running under Proxmox (qemu/kvm/whatever)...

    Windows Update Breaks VM

    We are running in to the same issues. We host a handful of Linux and Windows VMs for clients. Linux, and Windows Server 2012 have no issues. Specifically Windows 7 and Windows 2008 will randomly decide not to boot (going into System Recovery) after installing Windows Updates. I've tested with...

    Migration to new 2.2 nodes fails

    I had three Proxmox 2.x servers. I don't recall the exact version, just that they were NOT the latest. These servers worked well--specifically we were able to migrate virtual machines between them. Yesterday we added two new servers to the cluster. We did so by updating the software on the...
