    Prevent IPv6 local link on SDN VNet

    Hi, It would be nice if there was an option to prevent IPv6 Link-Local happening on the bridges that get created, in my setup I've created a VNET for each VLAN I need but I noticed each bridge has a IPv6 Link-Local, which means the host is listening on that network, ideally the host shouldn't...

    LVM and snapshot-as-volume-chain

    Hi, I've created a 3 node Proxmox cluster to test, and presented a Fibre Channel Lun. I've then created a LVM group on top as per https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Multipath I then imported a VM, and it's done raw format on the lvm storage group. I couldn't create a snapshot, so I reimported the...

    automated install via PXE boot

    I ended up writing my own process, by looking at how the init script works. I just need to finish the README n stuff and I'll throw it on my Github, but effectively what it does is. Could be useful for others. Create a custom initrd.img - Extracts the pve-installer.squashfs, initrd.img and...

    Migration script from oVirt/RHEV to Proxmox

    @adrianquintero what adjustments did you need to make, far as I can tell this required the storage domain in RHV to also be NFS?

    automated install via PXE boot

    I'll have to think up another method, I don't want to spin up a python server, just to allow the correct toml download to be distributed. I'll have a think

    automated install via PXE boot

    I don't really want to create 10 ISOs for each host was my thinking, I was hoping to create a boot entry for each host, point each entry to a different toml file. Guessing that's not possible then?

    automated install via PXE boot

    Hi I've setup the proxmox installer to work via PXE boot, and I was hoping I could provide the answers file via the cmdline, since it makes deploying a number of proxmox hosts much easier, from a static http server. Do I need to embed the answers file in to the ISO, or can I specify the answer...

    Proxmox cluster, loss of node causing process hang

    That's for sure the issue, hopefully that'll get fixed in the driver at some point, so whole computer doesn't start to lockup when there's no ethernet plugged in. It may already be fixed in a later kernel, but since it'll be in use 99% of the time, I've just excluded it from getting power managed.

    Proxmox cluster, loss of node causing process hang

    Many hours of trial and error, I think I found the issue. Powertop was putting the i226 card in to a different power control mode to allow better power saving, but clearly when nothing is connected to the i226, the driver locks up. So I've now stopped it doing that and so far it's been stable as...

    Proxmox cluster, loss of node causing process hang

    I have a 2 node proxmox cluster running version 8.4.14, with a Raspberry Pi acting a as a qdevice for quorum. Kernel 6.8.12-15-pve I've taken pve-2 out of the datacentre to do some hardware work on it, and pve-1 had all the VMs running on it prior to powering it off. I then noticed my...

    VM migration doesn't always honour the parallel job count

    When I bulk migrate VMs from host to host, I always set Parallel Jobs to 1, due to only having 2.5gbit networking for the migration network. Sometimes I will catch Proxmox scheduling two migration jobs at once from the master bulk task. I think it might be due to having some VMs having HA and...
