I can't start the pvestatd service due to the /var/run/pvestatd.pid.lock file. Any idea how to resolve that without rebooting?

I guess this line could be of interest? pvestatd[2893887]: start failed - can't acquire lock '/var/run/pvestatd.pid.lock' - Resource temporarily unavailable manual mount: not sure about that. I always used the PVE UI. I need to find out the equal command. I only can access syslog for 2 of 4...

The thing is, I had to reboot the storage VM and now the whole cluster seems to become unstable. I read several things that the pvestatd service may be involved. I tried to stop and restart the service but it takes very very long and goes through multiple kill/term signal timeouts. Igues...

I have a SMB/CIFS share (WS2022 VM). I had it running with NFS but I switched to CIFS since I got the impression that the NFS implementation of WS2022 is not that great. Pinging the server is possible from each node. I tried to disable and re enable the CIFS share multiple times. Thanks for...

Hi, I am using a cluster of 4 PVE 8.2.4 machines. One of the VMs serves a CIFS share that is mounted as a "SMB/CIFS" Storage mount. That normally works well but now the storage VM failed and this lead unstable results in the PVE UI. I see the typical "grey question mark" problem and the VM...

Thanks a lot. This has worked for me. 1.) Copy the /usr/bin/kvm command from the failed log entry. 2.) Open a shell and execute the command. 3.) Wait very long. You should see the rising RAM usage. 4.) If the command has finished the VM should run again. But the UI still shows a different...

Thanks, I wansn't aware of this. That could solve my problem with the proxmox updates. But still, I was hoping to find a more general solution also for other VMs and other stuff, not only for Proxmox PVE.

Hi, I have some lab Proxmox PVE servers that are currently not able to access the internet but I do wan't to be able to install updates. Thus I am trying to find a solution to work this arround. I do have a USB WIFI stick that is able to connect to the web. I have a WS2022 VM with USB passed...

Thanks a lot, Yes they are the only problem but essential for the application. I will try so.

Thanks, but I don't think that this is the solution. I can use the PCIe card and initialize, configure and start it but no interrupts coming through. I programmed a software the uses the card's api and all api calls are working except of interrupts. By disabling the MSIs at top, I guess that...

Ok, as far as I understood, the issue is that MSI (Message Signaled Interrupts) are lost. Is there a way to map the MSI from the physical PCIe card and pass it through to the guest as a simulated PCI device with line driven interrupts? Thanks

Thanks for the answers. I guess I have to accept that WinXP can't be Q35. At least at that state.

Do you have experience in this? Which one could you recommend? I was thinking of making a test with HyperV since ESXI is going to other directions regards price policy and support. But up to now I was not that sure how promissing this try would be.

WHY not? If it would just that easy. The usecase is to be able to use an existing software environment made for WinXP for several years without any problem to buy and fix broken hardware at any point. As I wrote in one of the posts before. But that's not the question. The question is how to...

Oh and regards Win11. I think Win11 will end in the same tradition as WinME, Vista, Win8: Most will skip it because the advantages does not overcome the disadvantages. That's what statistics say and just what I think. Don't touch a running system. Especially in a secured offline lab environment.

That's not the question but in our case there is no correct choice for the OS since our projects run for 10th of years and we need to give support and keep our system available for delivering updates of our porducts, just in case. The goal was to freeze the whole software environment including...

Hello, I had a hard time in my project in trying to create an virtualized testsetup that can be supported for many years. As it came out, the common way to install a WinXP OS is to configure it as "pc-i440fx" machine and this works fine. However I need to use one interface card to be passed...

Is it possible to install WinXP VM on Q35? I will try the other stuff. Thanks a lot!

yes, sorry for the double post. I just noticed.
