    Automatic poweroff and poweron to save energy

    a) Maybe you can boot up the backup server by means of "wake-on-LAN" from one of the running servers. b) As for 1.: cron may require setting the PATH variable in the beginning of the script so that the particular commands in the script could be found. If that doesn't help you can insert some...

    change network card

    @begeis I'm not sure from your a little blurred screenshot, but I guess you want to use the card with a the name beginning with enx6c... Then in /etc/network/interfaces add the line iface enx6cSOMEHARDLYREADABLECHARACTERS inet manual and in the paragraph iface vmbr0 inet static address...

    Error during update

    I don't warrant for this in some specific cases like Nvidia, but the usual Proxmox' recommended / required method is apt full-upgrade not apt upgrade Using upgrade instead of full-upgrade sometimes leads to incomplete upgrade, missing packages etc.

    steps to swap out the only drive on a PVE host

    Hi, @rtcb . I successfully used Clonezilla for a similar purpose.

    Upgrade issue from pve 5.3.18-2-pve

    Hi, @Lowhat . For buster in debian.org domain: in /etc/apt/sources.list remove any entries for buster at security.debian.org and put only deb http://archive.debian.org/debian buster main non-free contrib Of course, as janus57 wrote, don't mix different releases, so remove any trixie entries.

    [SOLVED] Accidentally increased size of a disk for a client. How do I decrease?

    That's right. It's a fact at least for physical disks. It crossed my mind that this could be the reason of strange symptoms which you observe. But I quickly excluded it because I've thought that this unstability is not present in case of virtual disks, because the hypervisor hands out logical...

    [SOLVED] Accidentally increased size of a disk for a client. How do I decrease?

    @gctwnl I wouldn't like to increase the state of vagueness here, so I'm not directly recommending any new changes without advice from more experienced users. Use at your risk. But if you read man qm in the PVE and make additional research, you optionally may want to try and note the results of...

    [SOLVED] Accidentally increased size of a disk for a client. How do I decrease?

    @gctwnl I admit I'm confused by the current state. Among others by the fact that now lvs command in the PVE shows two disks named vm-100-disk-0. For the 100.conf file: you're most likely right that it requires updating as well. I'm sorry that at the moment I have no precise instructions how to...

    Proxmox not booting after pve lvm name change

    Try changing pve-root to pve1-root First temporarily for one reboot - see e.g. https://documentation.ubuntu.com/real-time/latest/how-to/modify-kernel-boot-parameters/ and it that succeeds, you can change it permanently (*), if you want (but AFAIU you only need it temporary). (*) I'm not sure...

    [SOLVED] Accidentally increased size of a disk for a client. How do I decrease?

    It isn't :). From the VM's point of view, it's a disk. The VM doesn't know that's a LV and it doesn't care. In the VM you'll shrink the filesystem which during the normal work is mounted at /mnt/ServerData but during the live image session will not be mounted at all (don't mount it anywhere)...

    [SOLVED] Accidentally increased size of a disk for a client. How do I decrease?

    So they use the same units, fine. Anyway, don't remove full 200 GiB, just in case. You'll be trying to decrease it more, later, anyway. Not really. The data is still there. But as I wrote, don't start it. Yes, that's what I wrote. I'm a little bit unclear whether this is the same disk... The...

    [SOLVED] Accidentally increased size of a disk for a client. How do I decrease?

    AFAIU, you increased using PVE's GUI. If yes, the fs in the VM wasn't increased. Which is good :). Don't start the VM for now. Now be warned: make yourself very sure which "giga"bytes are used by the GUI and which ones by the lvresize! Binary or decimal? Giga or gibi. You don't want to remove...

    Old QCOW2 disk with alot of snapshots

    Hi. E.g. shutdowning the server and cloning the disk(s) with Clonezilla.

    [SOLVED] Accidentally increased size of a disk for a client. How do I decrease?

    @gctwnl I'm quite confused by your story. 1) Disk was 500 GB. You increased it to 700 GB. Now you would like to shrink it by 300 GB. That would give 700-300=400 GB. 500 != 400. 2) BUT it the command you quote, you're trying to remove 500 GB. 300 != 500. 3) Did you increase the filesystem in the...

    Proxmox not booting after pve lvm name change

    Are there any hints in files in and below /boot directory? Search for pve string. For instance in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

    Backup job causes PVE to machine to reboot

    From your post I guess that you've already checked the logs and they don't contain a hint. As you suspect that a lack of free local storage may be the cause, you can write a script which in a loop logs to a file the amount of free space and possibly which directory consumes how much. Then from...

    Proxmox not booting after pve lvm name change

    If you rename VG containing boot / root, you need to modify grub (or whatever mechanism you use for booting) configuration. And possibly /etc/fstab and other places.
