    [SOLVED] Problem importing VMWare Win2012R2

    Thank you. Going to SATA instead seemed to help. Also had to find the right version of VirtIO drivers to use with 2012R2 which is version 0.1.189. Newer versions would not install the drivers properly.

    [SOLVED] Problem importing VMWare Win2012R2

    We have a customer with an old Windows 2012R2 server that they wish to move off a VMWare provider to Proxmox. We do not have access to get a VMWare backup so I am using Disk2VHD to make a snapshot copy of the disk over the network, and then import it into Proxmox as a SCSI drive. I am able to...

    Move VM's off dead cluster node

    Dumb question as I have never ran into this issue before (thankfully), but today I started getting a bunch of notifications that VM's were down and the proxmox hypervisor had locked up. Thankfully, just a reboot of the hypervisor brought everything back online. We have backups of all the VM's...

    New cluster - storage solution

    Actually, the product is software and you purchase your own hardware (through them). Their supported platforms are either Dell or Supermicro hardware https://www.blockbridge.com/platforms/ and then you license their software. We purchased a couple systems through Blockbridge. They will spec out...

    Virtual machine crashes after HA migration

    I tried setting the CPU type to Broadwell, stopping/starting the VM and then attempting to live migrate it. Unfortunately, the VM still locked up after the migration was complete.

    Virtual machine crashes after HA migration

    I am still having issues with live migrating from a Dell PE640 to a Dell PE630. The reverse migration works just fine 630 > 640. So if this still an issue and how can it be worked around? I don't see any resolution in the bug reports. I did check the time on all servers in the cluster and they...

    Upgrade Clustered PMG 5 servers to 7

    I have a clustered pair of version 5 PMG's that up for license renewal. I've been debating whether it would be easier to update the version 5 servers to 7 using the existing licenses and also keeping live traffic running through them or if I should just purchase another set of licenses and start...

    Recover from stuck live migration

    The problem was an orphaned multi-path device that likely occurred during volume deactivation. I've manually cleaned up the device paths, and the system is now operating normally.

    Recover from stuck live migration

    I was in the process of migrating all VM's from a server running pve 7.1-11 to 7.1-12 so I could update it. It migrated several VM's and then stopped and the server turned to a grey question mark. It has been about a half hour and it doesn't appear like the migration is still progressing. All of...

    Removing NFS datastore from PVE 6

    I want to shutdown a shared NFS server that is setup in our PVE 6 cluster. I went to Datacenter -> Storage and Remove for the datastores that used that server. They all disappeared from the hosts in the GUI but when I do a df on the unix shell I see that NFS server is still mounted on all the...
