    In place upgrade to 5.0

    Thank you. While I understood it, the confusion comes in I don't see anything identified as a container in the GUI. So that is where the confusion comes in understanding what to backup.

    In place upgrade to 5.0

    While an interesting read, it didn't explain what containers are as identified in the GUI. Is the role of the container to be VM, but not really be a VM?

    In place upgrade to 5.0

    Thanks. How do I know if I have containers? What is the containers used for? When I look at the Web GUI I don't see anything listed as a container. I only see a list of VMs and data storage devices. Is the storage considered the containers?

    In place upgrade to 5.0

    I guess I don't understand what is meant by each container. That is the part that is confusing to me. What is meant by container? Does that mean each VM? or does that mean the storage system for the Node? My hope was to back up the VMs to and external storage, then move the VMs from node one...

    The pricing is unfortunately too expensive for a small organization. Because they are annualized fees we would never get our money's worth as we only need to upgrade every couple years.

    Can somebody please reply to the questions I have. I am not wanting to create more problems with this upgrade than I solve. Do the VM's have to be converted to each upgrade or can I simply back them all up to a drive then copy them back to the node once it is upgraded to 5.0? Are the VM's...

    Setting IPs to a VM

    I guess I am not understanding where that is. I have opened the new VM in proxmox but I don't see the IP of the VM listed as one of the options available. Must this be done at the console level?
