Is there a command to gracefully shut the backup server down, rather than just using the "stop" command for the VM?

I have a backup server setup as a VM in PVE. All my home PCs are set to send backups to this server between 3-5am everyday. So basically I only need this server available during those hours of the day. Is it possible to start/stop VMs on a schedule at specified times? Ideally I'd prefer not...

Thanks for the info. I'll give this a try. One other question about this... I'm going to be creating a PVE cluster soon. If I have the vms on separate PVE machines in the same cluster, can they still have their own "private" network using the bridge technique mentioned above? Or will they...

I'm creating 10 virtual machines that all need network connectivity to communicate with each other. One of these vms needs to communicate with other computers on the network (outside of PVE), but the other 9 don't need an outside connection. I'd like to set it up so that the other 9 vms are...

I have a backup disk setup for my VMs. I have the number of backups set to 10 right now. However, I have a problem... The backup drive is full. There are many OLD backups on the drive and the new backups are failing. Does PVE automatically delete old backup dumps to make room for new ones...

Does anyone know if there is an update to the GRUB version the comes with pve? If so, can anyone give me instructions on how to reset it r upgrade it?

I initially had an issue with a PANIC messages when attempting to boot with GRUB after a clean install. I was able to boot from the PVE disc using the "pveboot" command. This seems to get me up and running with PVE, but when I reboot GRUB gives me a PANIC message again. Of course I could go...

I noticed that PVE 2.2 was released. I was hoping that the new release would solve my problem. But, unfortunately, I am still getting the same results. Are there any GRUB experts out there that can help me out? I really need to get this up and running on several of my servers. If there is...

I already have the latest bios installed. Unfortunately I don't have very in depth knowledge of Linux, but it seems like I'm very close to solving my problem. Since I can use "pveboot" from the PVE 2.1 disc, it will get me booted into the system, but booting from Grub still gives me the...

Is there anymore information I can post here that would be helpful in trying to solve this issue? I'd love to get this up and running as soon as I can. It feels like I'm very close here, just need to solve the boot problem...

Here is the readout of the fdisk command in case it helps anything: root@master:~# fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 499.6 GB, 499558383616 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60734 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size...
