Hello, I haven't been playing with my Proxmox homelab in some time. I fired them back up to try and do some work and noticed the TLS certs had expired for my WebUI. Previously I was using ACME DNS challenges with LetsEncrypt to configure my SSL/TLS certs. So I figured I would remove all of the...

Added the the tag. Thanks for the heads up!

Hello all, Not sure if this is allowed or not. If not, mods feel free to nuke this. If it is allowed I am hoping that I can save some poor sap like me a few minutes (hours) of trying to figure out why I could not get my .ova file to be unzipped. Here are some of the guides I used to get a...

I was actually just about to post that I solved the issue. I the VM I was trying to migrate, was simply larger then the node I was trying to migrate it too. So naturally that is not going to work. Thank for taking the time to help me though!

Hello all, I just installed proxmox on a new Optiplex to act as a new node for my little homelab. It has one NIC and on SSD and I installed and configured the OS and it all seems to be working. I was able to create a cluster and then join the new node to the cluster without any issues. Now the...

Update: So after much trial and error and googling. I simply removed the old LVM Group, then ran "sgdisk -Z /dev/sdc" on the drive. From there I was able to reinitialize the drive and add it is a directory where I can now upload files too it. Thanks you @vshaulsk you have been a huge help.

Removed it from the "datacenter; Storage". Checked under the "disks; directory" I still see it as a VG. I was able to remove the Volume Group, but when I go to add it as a directory it says "No disk unused".

I checked. Default seems fine, as it only allows for Disk Images and Containers. Then to mount it, would I just select the "Storage" drive, hit "Remove" and then re-add it as a directory?

And now even after initializing and creating I am unable to upload anything to the drives. I am assuming that since I made the LVM I need to partition them in order to upload anything to it.

Tried this and got the following outputs: root@proxmox-ve:~# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc mke2fs 1.44.5 (15-Dec-2018) Creating filesystem with 117040640 4k blocks and 29261824 inodes Filesystem UUID: bb405991-4aea-4fe7-b265-cc644ea5e770 Superblock backups stored on blocks: 32768, 98304, 163840...

I get this error when trying to initialize the drive.

I did read documentation and watch a number of videos. Most of which did not cover the concept of RAID and RAID configuration all that well. I read the wiki and thought that all I would need to do was create new directories for each RAID since directories seemed the most versatile form of...

So, its been a minute and I hate to revive my old thread. But I reinstalled proxmox with a RAID configuration mentioned above. This is what my current "Disk" situation is looking like. Now how do I get this into usable storage?

I have around 48GBs of RAM so I don't think I should have any issues. Now how would I go about configuring these volumes without the RAID card. Normally I would boot into the RAID card, create the 3 volumes and then boot to the installer and go from there. But since there won't be a card, do I...

This is perfect. Few more things, what exactly would the use case of the non vm storage be? Holding ISOs, snapshots, backups etc I'm assuming? And should I just ditch the hardware RAID card and use the software RAID in Proxmox?
