    [TUTORIAL] How to backup/restore the whole Proxmox host using REAR

    Dear community, in every post discussing full Proxmox host backups (here or in Reddit), I suggest REAR, and there are always many responses to mine asking for more information about it. So, today I'm writing this short tutorial on how to install and configure REAR on Proxmox and perform full...

    Warning: UPDATING these packages broke my pci passthrough.

    Same for me on PVe 8.3.5, when I try to start TrueNAS VM from GUI, I get a delay in start. After some minutes, TrueNAS starts correctly and everything works. I tried to start from CLI, and I got: kvm: vfio: Cannot reset device 0000:00:17.0, no available reset mechanism. kvm: vfio: Cannot reset...

    Partial ethernet passthrough

    Ok, after a deep investigation I figured out what was root cause. I previously linked the nic to a specific name (I did it for all ports). e.g. [Link] Name=red0 [Match] MACAddress=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx As soon I removed that link and reboot the host, the passthrough works perfect. I don't know why...

    Partial ethernet passthrough

    Yes, edited the main post, IOMMU is correctly configured on Proxmox as I already used it to passthrough GPU to other VM The problem is that I cannot reach anything anymore, and I have to reboot Proxmox to restore the connectivity (luckily I can access console so that I manually removed the PCI...

    Partial ethernet passthrough

    Hello community, I have an Intel X710-T4 card used mainly with OPNSense. I setup the OPNSense machine with VirtIO Paravirtualized network devices, so that the VM has 3 interfaces: GREEN, BLU and RED. The other port (PCI 01:00.0) is used for Proxmox management. 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel...

    [SOLVED] Setup Management port at high speed

    Hello community, I moved the Proxmox management port to a 10Gb card. Proxmox/Debian detects the supported speed at 10000baseT/Full, but Speed is setup as 1000Mb/s. How can I change such speed and take advantage of the full 10Gb speed? # ethtool mgmt0 Settings for mgmt0: Supported ports...

    Proxmox mirroring installation

    I see, as per my original edit message, the Proxmox wiki clearly reports that mirroring is possible only with ZFS. At this point I'll keep the Proxmox OS and VMs on my first nvne and use the other one to store VM backup (other than that on my nas).

    Proxmox mirroring installation

    Firstly, thanks for reply, then No, they're just "simple" Crucial P3 m.2. nvme disks. I didn't know that, to use mirror feature, I'm forced to use ZFS. So no way to use etx4 with software mirror during installation? EDIT: Ok, I see, from doc: Please note that Proxmox VE currently only supports...
