    Usb 3 passthrough not working pve5.1

    I'm trying to move a large amount of data on to a new windows 2016 server via usb 3 but I cannot get the host port to pass through. The last line: usb 2-6: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd just keeps repeating over and over and the drive letter shows up in windows but stops...

    Help a LVM idiot please

    Sorry one more dumb followup question. I noticed that proxmox leaves the volume where the container files go as RAW filesystem, I'm assuming this is by design and I shouldn't try and mess with it by making it a ext3/4 fs or anything like that?

    Help a LVM idiot please

    Ok so I just reinstalled PVE 5.1 from scratch on my new server. The server has /dev/sda 32Gb SSD and /dev/sdb 20Tb raid5. I installed everything on sda. The followed 99 guides and added /sdb as a LVM member. This gave me a ton of space for containers but no space for ISO's. So I shrunk the...

    Adding a physical drive to storage

    When there is a release of proxmox 5.1 I'm probably going to just re-do everything. I got it to work somehow but initially I could not get sda1 to mount at all, there was some kind of problem with the filesystem or partition or something. I deleted the whole thing and followed some random...

    Adding a physical drive to storage

    I went through the guides I could find to add a drive and it sort of worked but after a reboot I lost one. Can someone please give me some idea's of what I did wrong here. So I have: Disk /dev/sda: 18.2 TiB, 19999998607360 bytes, 39062497280 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector...

    Storage driver for windows

    You're right sorry. I assumed server 2016 would have it there but I just checked my physical 2012 machine with a raid controller and also shows nothing.

    Storage driver for windows

    I just did a windows server 2016 install and used SCSI as the storage type (as per video instruction somewhere here) Everything seems to be working well but windows has no details on the storage performance, in task manager the storage tab is completely absent. Is there a way for windows to...

    Trouble with new install on HW raid

    Nice, that was easy to install and now it sees the LSI raid controller but one slight issue. When I try and log in to the GUI I just get : This site can’t be reached 192.168.1.230 refused to connect. Is there a log file that might point me in the right direction to solve this? I tried to...

    Trouble with new install on HW raid

    So is there no way to just download the proxmox patch file and then download a stock kernel from : kernel.org and then apply the patch to that? I've been trying to find where to download it from the proxmox git but I cant seem to find anything that makes sense?

    Trouble with new install on HW raid

    I'm waaay too newb to figure out how to build that kernel, I thought proxmox uses a modified deb kernel and we cant just use the vanilla one. Is there a guide or easier to follow how-to somewhere on building a kernel? Alternatively if i stay on deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve stretch...

    Trouble with new install on HW raid

    So right now there is no way around this until proxmox releases a new update with kernel? Is there no experimental option to just limp along until then? Maybe this way I can start doing some tests? *edit* just confirmed with Ubuntu and kernel 4.12.14 that it works fine. Guess I'll have to wait...

    Trouble with new install on HW raid

    Thanks for the response guys. I'm a bit of a newb with all this but I think Alwin has already given me something to work with. There is two raid controllers and only one Bios/setup promt appears and that one is for the two M.2 SSD's. The Other controller does not pop up the "PRess Ctrl-H for...

    Trouble with new install on HW raid

    I'm setting up a new server with proxmox 5, I ran some tests on a older machine and finally got my new one today. I'm using an IBM Thinksystem SR550 It has 2 raid controllers, 1. M.2 riser kit on motherboard (2x 32Gb Raid 1) 2. Thinksystem raid 930-8i 2Gb cache (shows up in lspci as: LSI...
