    PC completely resets on passing through two GPUs to two VMs, but not one VM...

    I'm trying to pass-through two different GPUs, to two different VMs, at the same time. What's really peculiar is that I can passthrough both GPUs to *one* VM fine. But if I passthrough to two different guest VMs, I get an instant crash of the machine. I've ensured BIOS set to Gen 3 PCI. IOMMU...

    Please can someone review my Proxmox plans/storage layout.

    Thanks on the warning re games. I don't tend to play multi-player stuff (which IIUC is why VMs are banned to prevent cheating). In fact, the only 'serious' games I play are VR - hence really trying to make the most of a single machine. Good suggestion on the NAS - I do happen to have a little...

    Please can someone review my Proxmox plans/storage layout.

    Thanks @aaron Presumably I can't effectively mirror without losing the PCI4 speed of my WD drive. I'll also look into reduce writes by PVE (guessing things like noatime etc)

    Any way to use SSD as local cache for remote NAS?

    I have a NAS that only has a gbit connection. Wondering if there's a way to use an SSD drive to cache access to it? When I try to Google this, it seems to mostly be about speeding up the NAS itself (for which there's no point given I only have gbit lan)

    WD 850 - can see LnkCap or LnkSta - driver issue?

    If I pass through the whole NVMe drive to an Ubuntu guest, it *can* see the speed data. So I guess it's just a Proxmox 6.3 / Linux 5.4.x kernel limitation? Within the guest: 00:1b.0 Non-Volatile memory controller: Sandisk Corp Device 5011 (rev 01) (prog-if 02 [NVM Express]) Subsystem...

    WD 850 - can see LnkCap or LnkSta - driver issue?

    I have three nvme drives - Proxmox is giving full PCI details for the Samsung ones, but for my new WD 850 there's two odd things: 1. It appears as "Non-Volatile memory controller: Sandisk Corp Device 5011 (rev 01) (prog-if 02 [NVM Express])" Is that because WD uses a Sandisk controller? 2...

    Please can someone review my Proxmox plans/storage layout.

    I've been reading a lot of posts about storage layout options. My general takeaway is that: 1. The answer always comes down to requirements. 2. There's a vast difference in requirements In my case, requirements are strictly home-nerd/software developer/very occasional gamer - so huge clusters...

    Sorry I just realised that question should be for @srwhite

    VMs not getting DHCP response and are unaccessible

    @timbrook - I've just been tearing my hair out facing this exact issue, before trying a spare USB3 ethernet adapter, and it working fine: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/just-trying-pve-6-3-for-the-first-time-i-cant-get-guest-network-access.85880/ I forgot I'd changed my motherboard since I...

    [SOLVED] Just trying PVE 6.3 for the first time - I can't get guest network access

    Now I'm Googling 'Intel I225-V "qemu"', and found a similar problem in this forum: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/vms-not-getting-dhcp-response-and-are-unaccessible.82383/

    [SOLVED] Just trying PVE 6.3 for the first time - I can't get guest network access

    Grrrr... Darn it, darn it, darn it. This is a HARDWARE issue with my motherboard. Plugged in a USB3 ethernet adapter and it worked. I wasted so much time on this, and it was nothing to do with Proxmox, my routers, or the VM. Apparently the Intel I225-V is a problem...

    [SOLVED] Just trying PVE 6.3 for the first time - I can't get guest network access

    Just one thing to add - in the guest VM, I ran tcpdump -vv. I've seem some ARP traffic, so there's at least *some* connectivity.

    [SOLVED] Just trying PVE 6.3 for the first time - I can't get guest network access

    In the past I used QEMU/KVM, and had bridged networking working ok with my Unifi setup. My guest VMs managed to get an IP and network/internet access. I've now setup PVE (all defaults) and although PVE host has full network/internet access, the Ubuntu guest does not. Config: cat /etc/hosts...

    Proxmox with occasional Windows gaming?

    I think I’ll go with with option 1 - waaaay too much judgment here.

    Proxmox with occasional Windows gaming?

    Sorry, I should state the hardware: 3900x 32 gb 1x512gb nvme 1x1tb nvme rtx3080 gt 1030 (chosen as about the fastest single slot low profile card I could find) my itx mobo has a spare 3rd nvm slot (on my x8x4x4 bifurcator), and unused sata ports. im trying to decide between having the Linux...

    Proxmox with occasional Windows gaming?

    I essentially have no use for Windows or high powered GPUs, except for one thing: gaming in VR. I totally loved HL:Alex, and waiting for the next one (of that style - not necessarily a sequel). I hate to see all the other components go to waste in between so considering one of two options...

    Can I use default 6.3 VE installer on machine with only an Nvidia GPU?

    Interesting - do you know how I can start that please? It’s not mentioned in the instructions.

    Can I use default 6.3 VE installer on machine with only an Nvidia GPU?

    I have a Ryzen 3900X (so no APU/iGPU) + 32GB + RTX3080, and just tried the 6.3VE USB installer. A quick looks at the X server logs shows "cannot run in framebuffer mode". Upon Googling I see a thread in this very forum: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-6-2-installation-failed.70988/...
