    Compatible USB NIC?

    Can anyone recommend a USB NIC with good compatibility and performance? I'm sure not all realtek chipsets are supported? THX! K.

    Best power management practices for home use.

    Cool, but you still need a separate device to connect to IPMI to power on the system... You could also use home assistant to switch a power relay at a specific time and configure the bios to power on when power is restored on the circuit. But my home assistant lives on a VM on my server...

    Enable SSD emulation and disk write cache?

    So I have a ubuntu VM running nextcloud. The disk of the VM lives on two 1TB sata SSD's raided togeter in a raid-z1 (I have plenty of backups :) ) I'm running a Supermicro X9SCL-F with an e3-1270 v2 with 6 cores assigned to the nexcloud VM with 16GB or ram. Should be plenty fast. I am...

    Best power management practices for home use.

    Hi everyone, I'm running a Supermicro X9SCL-F with an e3-1270 v2 in a Supermicro 2U CSE-825 chassis with a 500watt gold PSU. I only have 3 Sata ssd's for system and data. I run proxmox with a bunch of VM's. Pfsense, unifi controller, pihole, nextcloud server... When all services are running...

    Force transfer backups over 10GbE, not 1GbE?

    So I have proxmox installed and the web GUI runs on the 1GbE port of the motherboard. I have a 10Gbe card installed as well. I have a Freenas server for backups with a 10Gbe card. Both Proxmox box and the Freenas server are both connected via a unifi 10Gbe switch. When I run backups on...

    One 10Gb nic better then 3x dual port 1Gb nic?

    Thanks for the feedback, yes I’ve been running 10g sfp+ for several years now since it was cheap on the used market. Used it with a direct connnection between freenas and my workstation. Made the jump for a switch since unifi released an affordable 10g aggregation switch recently. So more kill...

    One 10Gb nic better then 3x dual port 1Gb nic?

    I was wondering if it's better to replace my 3 pcie cards with one 10Gb nic and to use virtual interfaces. I'm mainly wondering about this because it can save some power. Every pcie card takes about 7-15 watt. And I have 10Gb running with my bare metal Freenas boxes anyway. Would there be any...

    VM memory usage says 8GB in use. Pfsense TOP only says 383MB

    Hi, just wondering about something when running pFSENSE In the VM overview under summary it says it's using 7,6GB from the allocated 8GB But under TOP in the VM itself is says it uses only a fraction. Mem: 34M Active, 127M Inact, 383M Wired, 144K Buf, 7163M Free Any ideas? Am I assigning too...

    Possible to autodetect network interfaces after install.

    Hi all, I have to use another system to install proxmox because my current motherboard does not want to cooperate... This messes up some of the NIC configuration and the naming because I have more/less nics on the eventual host system. Is it possible to rerun the scipt that proxmox uses to...

    Possible to ingest bare metal machine in VM?

    Might be a silly question, is it possible to make an image of an existing disk with OS and have it run as a virtual machine? Like DD a disk to a VM? Thx!

    Only one NIC interface on dual NIC card via PCI passtrough.

    I did a test with running two VM's simultaneously. VM1 has: 02:00.0 0200 --> boots, to NICS are visible with "pass all functions" VM2 has: 01:00.0 0200 --> does not boot and errors --> -device vfio-pci,host=0000:01:00.0,id=hostpci0.0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x10.0,multifunction=on: vfio 0000:01:00.0...

    Only one NIC interface on dual NIC card via PCI passtrough.

    When I check the box for "pass all functions" i can get 2 interfaces working on one card but the second has only one interface showing up. Is it possible that the fact they shave the same ID could be an issue? They are the same cards. 00:19.0 0200: 8086:1502 (rev 05) --> built in NIC 01:00.0...

    Only one NIC interface on dual NIC card via PCI passtrough.

    Hi all, I have a couple of supermicro AOC-SG-I2 dual NIC cards with the intel 82575EB chip. I managed to create IOMMU groups following this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/b5xpua/the_ultimate_beginners_guide_to_gpu_passthrough/ Doing so the IOMMU error disappeared and I could...
