    Nachdem dieser Thread nun seit zwei Jahren gut abgehangen ist möchte ich mal nachfragen, ob jemand eine Lösung gefunden hat ohne manuell in Systemdateien Änderungen vornehmen zu müssen. Eine funktionierenden DHCP/DNS-Umgebungen vorausgesetzt...

    It's like the nineties. These days, there are only very few services that should be run with a fixed IP address. PVE and even less so PBS are definitly not among them. Do you think a hosting provider sets the IP addresses of its customer servers...

    TErxleben replied to the thread Move VM effektiv.
    Oh no no. Your scenario could happen if you use my construct, for example, as storage for virtual machine dumps. But here, the PBS VM itself is located on the disk. If that's not there, the VM won't run and can't use any storage space. I only...

    This host creates directories (images, dump in my case) in the mount point. The VM is grayed/stopped in webgui. After mounting the drive the VM is accessible again.

    Yes, moving physically. With DHCP i have not to fiddle with IPs.

    The following procedure works well for me: Create a mount point for the USB drive on each desired PVE. For example, /mnt/pbs. Then mount this point as storage in these PVEs as a directory. Copy the corresponding conf...

    TErxleben replied to the thread PBS security.
    A (pull) remote PBS is ideally located at a different location, as long as you don't have to restore data over slow connections. Now I want to make such a server physically available in the target network by just plugging it in. What's the best...

    OK. Thnx for advise.

    I would like to have a column in the backup overview that shows the actual storage usage of a backup. The column with the original size of the backed up VM can be removed.

    I would like to install a second PBS in a network that pulls PBS from the first one. Lightning, fire, and theft are obviously a source of danger that can't be eliminated this way. How do I minimize the remaining threats? 2FA comes to mind. The...

    You are right. It's LVM-thin. However, ootb without manual intervention. Tnx for your ideas.

    TErxleben replied to the thread full virtual (pbs)disk..
    That's a good idea, of course. But I wonder how something like that could happen. Probably a PBS problem. That doesn't exactly increase my confidence in a (bare metal) PBS, though. I've been familiar with tricks for creating temporary free space...

    TErxleben posted the thread full virtual (pbs)disk. in Proxmox VE: Installation and configuration.
    I have a PVE with a local 2TB SSD. I created a single VM (PBS) with a 1700GB virtual data partition in locale-lvm. This virtual disk filled up. Now, the VM won't boot correctly and instead reports I/O errors. The PBS web GUI doesn't work either...

    TErxleben replied to the thread Move VM effektiv.
    That's right. The VM was created on the external media. My question is, how can I make it available most elegantly after plugging it into another host? I don't want to "prepare" various potential hosts. I want to plug in the media, have it...

    It's not a Backupfile! It's a live-VM!

    TErxleben replied to the thread Move VM effektiv.
    It's a manually mounted drive at (pve)system level and then made available as a directory in the GUI (i.e., mount /dev/xyz /mnt/usb). I simply want to make a massive backup available as quickly as possible once the actual PBS server (or host of...

    I've installed a VM (PBS) on an external USB drive on PVE-A. Now I want to connect this drive to PVE-B and start the VM there. What's the best way to proceed? Please don't give me any advice using vzdump. We're talking about at least 16 TB.

    I'd like to use a PBS as a central backup point. From this, I'd like to vzdump copies of the latest version to USB media. So, a copy of the backup into another RAW backup. A web GUI is secondary. any ideas?

    TErxleben replied to the thread crashed PVE-hosts.
    @bgeek17 It's a mystery to me. The machine runs absolutely reliably in daily use. That's why I've ruled out RAM and the like. Only when the disks are under increased load (like during backups) does the machine freeze. I'll play around with...

    Just out of curiosity. After the upgrade, have you tried setting the VM's CPU back to "host"?
