When you pass any device through to a Vm, you detach it from the host OS so in the case of a GPU it means that GPU cannot be used by the host so you wouldn't have a video output, but you can still SSH into the host. Also, the GPU only gets detached once the boot process begins so if you boot...

I have a large data disk attached to one of my VMS. Backing up the data disk as part of the VM makes restores VERY slow (10 hours with the data disk only 1/3 full at 1TB) In the interim, I'm backing up the data from within the VM using proxmox backup client but the VM resources are being fully...

Can you web browse to 10.10.10.1:8007? Is that definitely the right IP address? Usually 10.10.10.1 would be your router.

I've noticed in the documentation that you can restore single archives from the backups but I'm not sure it matches specifically what I want to do. The main storage containing the OS on the VM in question is scsi0. scsi1 is a separate swap disk that I'm also not concerned about restoring, scsi...

I did this by adding an fstab entry to mount the disk to /mnt/backups then edited datastore.cfg like so datastore: backups path /mnt/backups

I'm running Nextcloud and a few other things within an Ubuntu VM For a long time, I had 3 hdd passed through to the vm and used them in a raidz1 to store the nextcloud data, with the vm itself having its os installed on a zfs managed by pve I've been uncomfortable about the fact that the data...

Ugh, that was my fear. In hindsight even a full successful clone wouldn't work because the zfs pool wouldn't import properly with the old config. There's nothing too major in the main proxmox config beyond my networking, some disks passed through to one of my vms and the ssh keys that are...

Thank you for the reply, That's a useful script but my problem is I'm currently running a LVM single disk as my main PVE storage, not a ZFS pool. From the looks of your script, it's going to add two new disks to the pool, wait for them to resilver the existing data, remove the old disks then...

Hello, I currently have Proxmox running my home servers but have been doing a bit of storage maintenance. I upgraded my VM (zfs mirrored pool) storage to 2 x consumer SSDs last year due to some crazy IO delays I was facing at the time and for a while it worked well enough but recently they...

Yeah, that's what I said - there's no way to see a ct ip from the gui the way you can for a vm running the guest tools without entering console commands.

I've wondered this too. A vm with the guest tools installed displays its IP in the summary section without having to use the console or dig through the router dhcp leases but containers don't seem to have any way to display the IP from the Web gui

Ok, so I've half solved my problem. The reason I could access the web ui and my rules weren't being followed is that my access point was masquerading all traffic coming from my main wifi network to have its own IP address on the 10.10.20.0 range. Having resolved that, I'm still left with one...

Hello. I am currently in the process of getting Proxmox up and running to host a VM server to replace my ancient Atom based file/plex/deluge/nextcloud server. I have proxmox up and running ok and a few bits and pieces set up on the VM to host my new server, but I'm having a few issues related...

I recently updated my daily workstation and was planning to use the old hardware to replace my current home server (an old and underpowered Atom D510 box) It's running Ubuntu Server 16.04 right now because updating from 14.04-16.04 broke so much that I couldn't face going through it again, so...
