qemu's `system` argument refers to some preset system configurations it can provide such as i440fx and q35. For more info on that you can look at qemu-system -machine help. I'm looking at the QEMU/KVM command that proxmox generates for a VM config ( qm showcmd <vmid> ) and it doesn't look like...

Thank you very much!

I don't think there is any built-in functionality for that, but it would definitely be a nice feature. Though you might be able to do some trickery with the args: option in the VM configuration as a work-around, I'll look into it.

As I understand, Proxmox will take the VM/LXC configuration for a given domain and from the arguments provided will generate a QEMU/LXC command behind the scenes. I'm aware that I can find this command as an error log if the start command fails as well as greping through ps for a running domain...

In case anyone stumbles on this, I have resolved my problem by manually migrating all of my services across nodes. Here is the full story from my internal documentation: After trying to link Proxmox nodes eden and zion into a cluster, due to a ZFS misconfiguration (traces of removed zpool...

Could you confirm for me, when adding ZFS storage to a datacenter (in this case 1 node) through the web interface, Proxmox will not remove or overwrite any existing data on the pool? I doubt it would, but I want to be as safe as possible

Disregard that. I wasn't looking at VMs stored on ZFS on the second node. Could you verify that if I reinstall Proxmox with only my root drives attached then import a zpool from my storage drives afterwards that Proxmox will not delete any data when I import the ZFS storage with the web...

Thanks. I'm able to pull the VM/LXC configurations from the database and get the data from /rpool/data/subvol*, but could you explain the difference in the two storage models? On my second node the /rpool/data/subvol* directory does not exist, but instead there are virtual block devices under...

And you are stopping the VM with the web interface? Is the VM completely working throughout?

I'm not really following but if it is working then fantastic! When you enter a CPU / RAM value in the VM configuration, you are entering how much of that resource you want to allocate exclusively for the VM. So even if your host has 36 threads, you can't give the VM all 36 because the host...

So even the Windows VM that you are starting works? It sounds like it is failing to start (or something similar). You've tried all of the normal shell escapes (Ctrl-C, Ctrl-D)?

Is the entire machine frozen? Is the Windows VM/your other VMS still running?

Try removing the line and add Also you can't add every core to your virtual machine, you need to leave some dedicated to the host. Try using 30 cores instead. Likewise with memory, you need to leave some for the host; try 32GB. While the VM is running, could you post the results of (run...

I'm afraid I've done a number to my install in that I can no longer access /etc/pve/ or /var/lib/pve/. I tried to create a cluster, but after doing so changed the node's hostname. When I found that I could not write to /etc/pve, I rebooted, at which point there was an error where the cluster...

I'm not sure why that has been on that page for so long, but there is a pull request in the works for OpenZFS on Linux that adds native encryption that will likely be merged within the next month or two and upstreamed a few months after that.
