    Proxmox Monitoring

    I see that Proxmox supports a Metrics server and I was just looking a bit at this. I discovered that it is possible to have such cool dashboards that show all the status and info about the PVE node, like memory usage, network throughput and so on, I assume it is possible using Grafana and such...

    Proxmox/OPNsense

    Hi, I am running this exact setup right now since 1+ year. It works great. However, I did not pass through the NICs. I have Intel I350-T4v2 and I have connected the individual ports of the NIC in Proxmox to individual bridges, also with VLANs, and then passed through the bridges to the opnsense...

    Proxmox Server crashed, why?

    OK this thread is resolved now - and you guys won't believe the solution. So I cannnot reproduce the above problem with the RCU / TLS bug. Also, the machine refused to boot completely, not even POST or BIOS. After calling the manufacturer, we found that it would be worth to exchange the CPU...

    Proxmox Server crashed, why?

    Hmm maybe it could be a hardware problem... I have brand new hardware (4 days old only) and let it run, 3 days it ran fine and yesterday it crashed. I tried now to recover but, interestingly, now does not even the BIOS screen appear. Completely dead. However, what is maybe interesting: I...

    Proxmox Server crashed, why?

    I have nothing configured, it is a super plain Proxmox. I just installed Debian (netinst) and then on Debian installed Proxmox. I configured absolutely nothing, except the SMTP server for sending the notifications. For this reason I am so puzzled, I never saw that.

    Proxmox Server crashed, why?

    I absolutely cannot because the machine refuses to boot when I do a reset. I did everything: switch off the server, plug all power cords, wait couple minutes and redo it. Then it boots, and after the GRUB screen, it seems to get stuck at "Loading initial ramdisk...". I then rebooted and edited...

    Proxmox Server crashed, why?

    Good day dear colleagues, I have a freshly installed Proxmox Server with AMD EPYC CPUs. On Friday I left it running through the weekend, like nothing special, just a bunch of normal VMs, nothing critical. Everything was working. Today I was lookign at it via remote IPMI and found that it has...

    dmesg flooded by SysV generator

    Good day so I just upgraded my PVE host to version 9 and it worked super nice. pve8to9 gave no warnings or errors and so I figured the update will be fine. Which it was to 99.9% ;-) After this upgrade, my dmesg gets flooded with the messages like below. I see it has something to do with the MPT...

    Backup of privileged LXC fails

    I fixed my problem by excluding the one mountpoint that has 2TB of data in it. So the backup effectively only includes the root disk. In this way, the backup runs fine. I also realise that the Proxmox Backup Server brings no advantage when it comes to incremental backups of containers. For VMs...

    Backup of privileged LXC fails

    Good day, I have this newly created LXC that is privileged and that has a large dataset of ~3TB attached as mountpoint. I also installed Proxmox Backup Server and I backup all my VMs and LXCs to it. It works super fine for everything, except this particular LXC! It refuses to backup in "Suspend"...

    Windows virtualization with GPU passthrough

    Good day, please excuse my delayed response. I am familiar with both, simulation software, as well as with Proxmox (more or less), but I have never run the two of them in combination. :-) also I have no experience so far with PCI passthrough. Assuming my mainboard (Supermicro X12SPW) and CPU...

    Windows virtualization with GPU passthrough

    Good day, so I would like to run a Windows guest on Proxmox. Basically, this is nothing new and I have done it successfully already many times. However this one seems a bit more special to me. I currently have a single PC that has fast RAM, and a GPU, for finite element simulations. The PC is a...

    ZFS Special VDEV

    By the way, I expanded now to 2x 480GB. I used Kingston DC600ME SSDs. I can recommend them, they are good suited for a special vdev in my opinion.

    ZFS Special VDEV

    Will do. Actually I also already practiced how to do that, to know in advance how it works. Will "zpool attach" the replacement disk first, then wait for the resilver. Then "zpool detach" one of the old disks, remove the disk and put a new disk. Then "zpool attach" the new disk again, and wait...
