Well, it seemed pretty simple and to be just a TCP connection. Import to proxmox host; # ovftool vi://root@192.168.1.43:443/c7-test . Then imported it to Proxmox service as a vm; # qm importovf 103 c7-test/c7-test.ovf local-zfs The problem is, it's not clear if it only used port 443 or...

What ports would need to be open between vmware and proxmox to import vms from ESX? I can't seem to find this anywhere.

Many years later, I'm having the exact same issue. All of a sudden, when trying to log into a system that I've logged into countless times won't let me log in using standard auth yet I'm able to log in using the ssh pass.

If you are writing to me janssensm, I just went ahead and fired up a server so I had a real environment and it worked out well. Like all new technology, lots of learning but I'm enjoying proxmox so far. Definitely will be buying licensing if I start using it in production at some point. Love...

As mentioned in my post, I searched and searched and never found anything that was complete. I did in fact find this link and wasn't able to get anywhere. Now that I better understand it, your process will likely make more sense to me than it did when I was just starting to work on conversions...

Unfortunately, I simply cannot remember now. I spent a couple of days on this trying variations of things I was reading. I did install proxmox onto esx but don't recall if I enabled nested virtualization or not. If it was suggested, I probably did if it was an option. However, I don't know...

I went through a lot of frustration trying to figure this out and while there might be a better way than mine, I thought I should share my method in case it can help someone else. All of the articles and documentation I came across were slightly different and it took a while to come to this...

Installing proxmox on esx just didn't work since it cannot gain total access to the CPU. Therefore, some things work, many don't so I gave up. Your input is great apoc and I'll give that a try too. Thank you for sharing it.

It's no problem, I was just trying to learn how to convert. Still a work in progress but making progress :). Thank you.

Nope, didn't happen this time. I must have missed something or some condition so I'll keep an eye on this and report back if it happens again. Thanks for your help.

Easy enough to do. I'll do it shortly.

They were installed on the first server and on that servers storage with no HA setup just yet. When the other two servers were shut down, the vms on the first server got shut down until I restarted one of the servers to have two running. I could run them all off of shared storage but just...

>(Therefore STONITH is very important in such a setup to not run into a split brain with a shared storage) I'll have to look at this up. Very new to all this, just trying it out for the first time :). It makes sense that everything would stay up and running and changes not allowed but not sure...

Hmm, what I was hoping for is to have a cluster where all but one could be done and still function. I guess that makes sense. A cluster means quorum otherwise, it's a redundant setup. Thanks for the good lead.

I am testing proxmox and set up 3 servers in a cluster. I installed a few vms on the first server. I didn't need all three running at one point so I shut down two of the servers. Now the first server left on seems to have shut down all of the vms and has made everything in /etc/pve/nodes/ read...

I always search and try on my own before posting. I found countless articles, almost all of them not complete or overly complicated so the point where it won't help someone just starting out. I'll keep working on it, thanks for your input.

The challenge is those vms are in production, I cannot really just go changing things on those while they are in use. You'd think this would be a lot simpler considering how long proxmox has been around and if they want more people to adopt their solution. I can get to the point of having the...

I installed an instance on esx and it seems to work as needed. Then I used ovftool. Imported to proxmox from esx; ovftool vi://root@192.168.1.243:443/dev-site-01 . Imported as a vm on proxmox; qm importovf 103 /dev-site-01.ovf local-zfs Now I just need to figure out why those imported vm's...

Wait now, maybe you just said something I wasn't aware of. I've read countless articles, many of them slightly different than the last and I figured I just need to try something and go from there. Are you saying that if I install qemu-tools, that it's something like open-vm-tools and that would...

The error was that the CPU doesn't have VT enabled. I can tell you that the host itself doesn't have VT enabled on the CPUs. Not even sure how that happened but shutting them down to get to BIOS is a major no no. My instance of proxmox will only be used to convert esx vms to proxmox. This...
