    W2025 virtio NIC -> connection drop outs

    Have similar issues. All VMs that use 0.1.285 will sporadically no longer show their IP but "Guest agent not running". After a reboot, they work again. The one VM that is also hosting an MSSQL 2017 application, will also lose the DB connection (even locally). Although there might be drops...

    Guest agent not running on Windows 11

    Unfortunately no luck. But since I have I seem to have the same issue as https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/w2025-virtio-nic-connection-drop-outs.174217/page-2#post-814956 I will continue the discussion there.

    QCOW2 on ZFS, but over NFS?

    Not sure how this is relevent. But since you ask; no, I don't believe in clusters for Proxmox :) HA is IMHO grossly overrated and in many setups it causes more downtime because of added complexity than it actually saves uptime. Especially considering how rock solid a good server with ZFS...

    QCOW2 on ZFS, but over NFS?

    True. I personally don't use Snapshots from live systems, only shutdown ones. Consistency is one reason, the other one would be that I don't want to store RAM and I even with fs-freeze don't trust my application to handle a rollback gracefully. Same for backups. For me personally, the use case...

    PBs notification

    I also had my issues with notifications on PVE and PBS and have some open questions still nobody was able to answer. And apparently, sendmail is legacy. So that is why I did the following: - Don't set backup jobs to "Auto". Set them to notification center. - In notification center create a...

    QCOW2 on ZFS, but over NFS?

    Thank you for making my point :) I am suggesting that you have storage locally and not over a network. So with a local ZFS, and VM RAW disks, you can make use of the native ZFS snapshot feature. Which is (unlike QCOW I believe) instant. Proxmox offers a pretty good table what storage offers...

    Windows 11: Secure Boot CA/keys need to be updated

    I updated some VMs from Windows 10 to 11 and see this error in the event log: Protokollname: System Quelle: Microsoft-Windows-TPM-WMI Datum: 15.11.2025 01:06:21 Ereignis-ID: 1801 Aufgabenkategorie:Keine Ebene: Fehler Schlüsselwörter: Benutzer: SYSTEM Computer...

    Guest agent not running on Windows 11

    I updated to PVE 9. Seems to work, at least for now :)

    PBs notification

    I am guessing you setup SMTP mail and not sendmail? You need to set the notification matcher below to send it to SMTP and not sendmail. So disable the default sendmail and enable your SMTP.

    You press the snapshot button.

    Special device for caching

    I have no experience with special vdev under Proxmox, only TrueNAS. But I think this won't work well, since you are not working with datasets but zvols. SLOG is probably also not helping, because your workload is probably not doing any sync writes? Are you sure that the pool is the bottleneck...

    Guest agent not running on Windows 11

    now it is happening to another VM too. Strange :confused:

    Guest agent not running on Windows 11

    Was more thinking about upgrading PVE. Clean install is not an option, since this is hosting an application.

    Guest agent not running on Windows 11

    Maybe :) I am not knowledgeable enough to use the right filters or knowing where to look. That is why was not able to find anything. Do you know where I should be looking? The linked powershell commands in the other thread did not find anything noticeable. My behavior is also slightly different...

    Guest agent not running on Windows 11

    I have a problem with only one VM. That VM for unknown reasons sometimes loses guest agent. This is pretty bad, because that makes also the backup impossible, since I do backups to PBS with stop mode. Is there a known issue with this config? I had it once before, did not think much of it and...
