    backup register image failed: command error: no previous backup found, cannot do incremental backup

    extend VMID

    thanks for sharing but none of this is a real issue if there are correct policies in place for building VM's i really don't see a serious technical issue with matching the last octet of an IP address to match a VMID in Proxmox.

    Optimization of CPU usage during live migration.

    @UdoB have had a bit of a play with this today and throttled the replication tasks as well. seems to have done the trick with the high CPU but this also slows down a migration immensely, especially when you have a VM that's 3+ TB or one with multiple 1TB drives. I was testing replication today...

    [SOLVED] Official way to backup proxmox VE itself?

    @gfngfn256 thanks for the info , i was replying to Marios statement about using Veeam to backup the files /rpool and using PBS for the rest. I cant see any benefit of using 2 different systems to backup /rpool. with that said just backing up the correct files will give the admin a good head...

    Optimization of CPU usage during live migration.

    Thanks for the methodology, I'll start with 50% of the current bandwidth and see how it go's on a test VM. Have you tested with insecure mode ? Even in this thread we see mixes results. It makes sense that secure mode will have more overhead than insecure mode due to in flight encryption/...

    Optimization of CPU usage during live migration.

    Thanks @UdoB That's a good suggestion it hadn't crossed my mind. I'll look into it a little more. My initial concern is the high cpu generated, are you suggesting that throttling the migration network will reduce cpu and disk IO? I suspect the high disk IO is part of the problem, one of our...

    Optimization of CPU usage during live migration.

    Hi All Just jumping onto this thread with the same issue. Proxmox - 8.3 latest 20 GB network bandwidth available When performing a live migration the host hist 100% CPU Disk is crazy and this causes VM's to crash or become unresponsive this basically means we can not migrate to or from the...
