    Q: Win10Pro VM Guest install / "Bios" Activation key?

    Hi, I am not sure but you can test and if it works, you know the answer. Based on my re-reading of my own notes (ie, I forget) - it appears that the string dumped to file when I did this on a lenovo - did have spaces in the output - and I did not edit this output at all (ie, adding quotes was...

    Q: LVM_Thin and restore 'bigger' VM

    Footnote2, I reviewed this thread, https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-io-error-lvm-thin-full.64714/ and I think the situation is more or less the same, and I think if I am reading this correctly, LVM_Thin does not work the way I thought. but any feedback confirm is appreciated.

    Q: LVM_Thin and restore 'bigger' VM

    Footnote, another thread I found this morning had the answer to my 'mystery' about the VM I could not unlock. Sigh. Doh. You are using qm instead of pct, you should use pct unlock 110 instead. so at least that one is clear to me now. If anyone has comments on the LVM_THIN topic, any feedback...

    Q: LVM_Thin and restore 'bigger' VM

    Hi, I have question / curious if anyone has insight/comment. - doing a P2V migration of a physical host > proxmox; using a temporary staging host to facilitate the transfer. - Stage host and clobber old host - was done with ISO / stock install proxmox host 7.latest - OldHost is supermicro...

    Q: Proxmox 5 on Debian / weird 'route' issue

    thanks for confirming! I moved/removed the 2 files in the directory /etc/systemd/network/ rebooted the host things came up cleanly without the unwanted route being forced-configured so - all is well. (I am not using ipv6 so did not need to bring it over.) so, nice when things work 'as...

    Q: Proxmox 5 on Debian / weird 'route' issue

    ha ha, after writing my question. I think I may have found it. Just need to dig a bit more. There appears to be a stock file present, /etc/systemd/network/50-default.network which has some info that looks like it is getting involved. ie, File: /etc/systemd/network/50-default.network...

    Q: Proxmox 5 on Debian / weird 'route' issue

    Hi all, this is a bit of long shot but just in case. I've got a client still using a few legacy proxmox servers running Proxmox5.x which we haven't migrated up to Proxmox6 quiet yet. (sigh). I had to deploy a new host for them yesterday. Their environment is all on OVH_SYS. The new box was...

    Q: iptables config tweak sanity check (firewall config / access bafflement)

    Hi, I'm banging my head on this and slightly frustrating / so I wonder if I can ask for someone who is very happy with Iptables fun to comment possibly. I've got a host with is running on OVH-SYS hosting, proxmox install template (is basically a Debian stock / SW raid / with proxmox added to...

    Q: Win10Pro VM Guest install / "Bios" Activation key?

    Great news .. glad to hear the instructions work for someone else! :-) thanks for confirming. I also agree - it had bugged me (nothing serious, just 'annoyance') that I had trouble getting this working in the past :-) So definitely cool :-) Tim

    Q: Win10Pro VM Guest install / "Bios" Activation key?

    Footnote on this thread, in case of any interest. I just was setting up another box today, and managed to get this working for the first time. Process was slightly different than in the thread above, but general process is the same. Precise steps used, which were a success: setup the VM in...

    Q: various VirtIO SCSI Config scenarios > BSOD vs Not for Win10 guest

    sounds good - thanks for the added detail! I agree, the BSOD is bad / should be resolved. I'll look at this with my client and figure out what is going on. generally speaking, I agree with you - I have found that VirtIO 'just works' and generally performs 'very well'. (ie, no scsi mentioned...

    Q: various VirtIO SCSI Config scenarios > BSOD vs Not for Win10 guest

    Hi, I believe that attaching an empty drive (not changing boot drive) causes the BSOD. I will double check with client. I agree that that is cleanest way to get the virtio driver integrated. In theory the virtio driver is already present and working / as per my description, I also agree, my...

    Q: various VirtIO SCSI Config scenarios > BSOD vs Not for Win10 guest

    Hi, I have a client asking me for clarification on this topic, and I am not quite sure. Best practice guide in proxmox docs https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_10_guest_best_practices suggests we should use ""SCSI" as bus with "VirtIO SCSI" as controller." My normal routine in past was to...

    Query: 2 node setup with HA (3rd box for quorum) > ZFS datastore / better-other?-options?

    Thanks for added detail! In this case the client is the sort who prefer to pay for extended warranty and 3-hour onsite service from dell. ie, they are not the kind who will ever 'attach disks to a different box that is not precisely the same as the original make-model of the original box'...

    Query: 2 node setup with HA (3rd box for quorum) > ZFS datastore / better-other?-options?

    Hi Aaron! Thanks for this reply. This all sounds good. Kind of about what I had thought might be the case, more or less, based on reading I've done so far. I'm pretty sure for this deployment a 2-node and ZFS @ 1minute replication might be simpler / with 3rd vote on PBS box. I must admit I am...

    Query: 2 node setup with HA (3rd box for quorum) > ZFS datastore / better-other?-options?

    Hi, I am hoping to just make a sanity check for guidance to see if I'm overlooking something. Feedback is greatly appreciated! I'm hoping to setup a modest size cluster for a client, project is ramping up with 'fairly modest' requirements and hopes the business will grow and it needs to scale...

    [SOLVED] Weird Problem on PVE host - has anyone seen this before?

    In case anyone gets here from google searches by keyword, etc. I think I found solution to problem. I waited for a time when I could get remote access and power off all VMs hosted on this promox box, then powered then on one-at-a-time. Monitored system logs. It was quite clear that the strange...

    [SOLVED] Weird Problem on PVE host - has anyone seen this before?

    Hi, I've got a Proxmox host which has a strange problem, I noted it yesterday, and it is not cleared up after a reboot this morning. Strictly speaking I have no idea if this is a (proxmox issue) or (debian / linux) issue per se. But in case someone has seen it I thought I would post here...

    AGAIN, proxmox backup server doesn't accept connection after install & reboot

    I will update the thread next time I setup another host like the other ones I had issues with. I think? they were all setup when PBS was in beta(ie, early December / November approx ) so maybe things are changed since that earlier release. Anyhoo. I appreciate the other tests and feeback...

    AGAIN, proxmox backup server doesn't accept connection after install & reboot

    not quite certain what you mean. But after I've done my custom kludge - network is alive - and if I reboot the PBS host, it reboots smoothly and network is alive after reboot. In contrast if I did not make the custom kludge config adjust, and simply attempted to do (approximately) - install...
