Perfect, many thanks Thomas for the prompt reply and information. Doesn't look as complicated as I originally thought !

Thanks for your advice Moayad. As a test I created a new VM, got it up and running and logged in successfully, just so I know the VM "works". I backed it up to my FreeNAS NFS storage where all my VM backups are stored and deleted the VM via the ProxMox GUI I then restored the deleted VM...

Firstly, thanks to the Proxmox dev's for an amazing product. I rarely post because the system is rock solid and I have not had any problems for years, until recently whilst attempting an in place upgrade from 5.4 to 6 Some details around the config. I think very simple deployment. Home/home...

I tried running both 18.3 and 19.2 via a a USB thumb drive on the laptop and confirm both do work so it looks like I need to upgrade my OS. Thanks for the info.

Looking for some tips/guidance around remote connection via virt-viewer (SPICE). Connections to Windows and Linux guest machines from a Windows machine work fine, no issues at all. Connecting to the same guests systems from a Linux box (in this case Linux Mint 17) does not. I get "unable to...

Wolfgang, thanks for the tips/advice. Worked flawlessly, I have even tested restoring a VM from the migrated "dump" folder and it works fine. I can now remove that 2TB hard drive and put it to better use.

Did you try to ssh to the server and "qm stop VM_ID_NUMBER", then "qm start VM_ID_NUMBER" ? Whilst it's doing this you can see the result in the GUI as well which is quite handy

"zfs list -t snapshot" is your friend. One of my ZFS file systems (not on Proxmox I should add) filled up and I couldn't figure out where the storage had gone. I had a job that automatically created Snapshots of my VM storage pool and due the number of changes going on, plus the number of...

Hello, I have searched through the forum for an answer to this question and can only find threads related to moving LXC containers or migrating VM's. Someone must have come across this previously so I am looking for some tips/gotchas to look out for. A brief description of what I am looking...

Well, I finally took the plunge and went for a Dell PERC H310 SAS PCI (uses LSISAS2008 Chipset), link to PDF specification sheet is here http://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/shared-content/data-sheets/Documents/dell-perc-h310-spec-sheet.pdf Two reasons why I went for this one, cost (£39.99 of...

Hello Forum, Have been running Proxmox for a few years now in a SOHO setup, mainly for educational purposes but I do run a bunch of test systems for work as well on the same system. I use FreeNAS as an NFS storage area for my VM's, the FreeNAS system has a couple of mirrored SSD's for log and...

Yes, it was set to 1 in that file, I have changed it and now I can create multiple backups from the GUI. Does this mean that running vzdump from the command line looks at different config files versus running vzdump from the GUI ? Seems strange that there are two files where this option can be...

Hello forum, I'm trying to enable the possibility of having multiple backups for a VM. I have edited the /etc/vzdump.conf file and added maxfiles: 5 at the bottom of the file. The contents of the file are now as follows... # vzdump default settings #tmpdir: DIR #dumpdir: DIR #storage...
