I am a home-laber and was just using PCI pass-thru as a learning experience. I am going back to the creating individual bridges with one interface assigned to each and assign these bridges to the pfsense VM.

Hi, I am running PVE 8.3 on a mini PC that has 5 2.5GB NICs. The mini PC will only host pfsense CE (2.7.2) and a couple local services. I use PCI pass-through to a pfsense VM for 4 of the 5 NICs. Those NICs are my WAN, LAN, Wifi and IOT networks. The last NIC is in vmbr0 as I wanted access to...

Made sure disks were included in backups. Ran backup job from PVE and VM disk was backed up! Not sure what happened before but everything seems to be working correctly now. Thanks for help

I’m using PVE 8.2.3 and PBD 3.2-7. I backup my VMs, do garbage collection and verify the backups weekly. I recently deleted a VM from PVE (including destruction of unreferenced disks). When I tried to restore the VM , it would not boot and I discovered that the VM disk was missing. Attached is a...

Just wanted to chime in. My assumptions were the same as the leestken! When I restored what I thought was a complete backup of container the folders in the .pxarexclude file were missing and they are permanently lost since I deleted them in the container expecting they had been backed up. This...

Making default bridge vlan aware and adding vlan id to VM/CT NIC solved problem. Thank you to all that responded.

I am running PVE 8.1.4. PVE is connected to the rest of my homelab via a trunk carrying tagged and untagged traffic. Not ideal, but that’s what I have now. For the tagged traffic, I know how to make my bridge vlan aware and to configure the vlan tags in each VM. What do I need to get the...

See this is what I needed. thank you for your help

I'm running PVE 8.1.4 and PBS 3.1-4. Both have TLS/SSL certificates that are about to expire. The certificates are self-signed and are maintained/managed on by pfsense security appliance (v 23.09.1). Any help on what I need to do renew these expiring certificates would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, your response worked!

Hi, I have 2 PVE (v 8.1) and 1 PBS (3.1) systems in my homelab. I have backups from both PVE systems on the PBS to the same datastore but different namespaces. All backups are owned by root@pam. I want to migrate VMs between the PVE systems using the PBS. The problem is that PVE1 can only list...

Thank you. Solution works great and I learned something too!:)

I’m running PVE 8.1.3. I recently had a SSD fail and I want to removed it from the system. The SSD is NOT the boot drive and is simply formatted as ext4 directory storage. Here is the entry in storage.cfg: dir: my-storage disable path /mnt/pve/my-storage content...

Works great after change. Thanks
