    LVM-Thin volume keeps getting filled up to 100%

    Hi there. I have a ~500GB LVM_Thin for vm disks. Both vdisks have total 450GB capacity (150+300). Yet after a week or so lvm-thin fills up to 100% crashing vm using it as storage location. I'm using scheduled vm backups on external nas device (NFS) - could backup possibly consume rest of free...

    qm importdisk (WindowsImageBackup VHD) non-existent or non-regular file

    Hi there. I have a Win2008R2 backup (as a WindowsImageBackup) stored on a usb drive (ntfs). It contains VHD files so I'm thinking of importing those as VM disks. I've already mounted usb drive, however "importdisk" fails: root@******# qm importdisk 100...

    Dell PowerEdge 2950 - pci passthrough USB controller.

    Hi there. I'm about to implement Proxmox to a bit "vintage" PE2950 (based on E5440 Xeons), then fire up a Win2k8 R2 VM. Thing is VM needs direct access to USB (software requires usb key). I'm about to add pcie usb controller... Any confirmation of PE2950 handling passthrough?

    How to add additional IP to Proxmox itself...

    Here's what I've tested your solution and it... kills network completely. Defining vmbr's with :1; :2 etc. actually seem to correspond with VLAN setups. It might work on some other linux distros though... It also shows VLAN Linux tag in these network interfaces in GUI. I recommend to leave...

    How to add additional IP to Proxmox itself...

    Allright. I've tested something on my 'lab'. Manually edited etc/network/interfaces (added another IP/netmask to vmbr0): auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface enp3s4f0 inet manual auto vmbr0 iface vmbr0 inet static address 192.168.1.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway...

    How to add additional IP to Proxmox itself...

    Here's a scenario. I have LAN network within 192.168.0.x subnet. I need to add additional subnet (let's say 200.200.200.x) working simultaneously in same network. I want to dedicate this subnet for VPN and administration traffic. No need for me to use vlans etc. - just different subnet. Since...

    How to add additional IP to Proxmox itself...

    So all I need is to create another vmbr with same NIC? I cannot do this from GUI cause bridge (vmbr2) creator says that my NIC (eno1) is already a member of another bridge (vmbr0)...

    How to add additional IP to Proxmox itself...

    Hi there. I wonder if it's possible to easily add additional IP to main Proxmox NIC. I can easily add additional IP lets say in windows network TCP/IP setup... I need to Proxmox showing up in both subnets with apropriate IP. I'd like to run it on a single NIC (as a member of vmbr0). Thing is...

    Additional disk for both: VD and backup

    Hi there. I've added additional mirrored (hardware Raid1) 3TB storage (3,5" SAS 7.2k). My goal is to share this storage both for VD's and for some proxmox backups. Might be wrong but that means that I shall split the capacity (lets say 50/50) for LVM (vd's) and rest for EXT4 for backup space. Or...

    Proxmox - importing VMware ESXi (vmdk) machine (ubuntu based) - cannot process volume group

    Surprisingly VM works. Here how it works: during boot it has to establish internet connection 1st -> then establish OpenVPN connection -> then transfer decryption key from vendors services to encrypted volume o_O Main issue was that prebuilt VM was already configured with final network IP...

    Proxmox - importing VMware ESXi (vmdk) machine (ubuntu based) - cannot process volume group

    Obviously it's a pretty sh*ty situation without vendor's support. For now non-existent network connection is a lower grade issue - if OS itself will run we'd go from there. Anyway better than nothing... Thanks for the tips. I'm about to contact tech support anyway - we'll see. PS. I also...

    Proxmox - importing VMware ESXi (vmdk) machine (ubuntu based) - cannot process volume group

    Hi there. I'm struggling with a following task. One of my clients wants to deploy a freshly bought custom ERP'ish platform. the system with half-ready OS, database etc. comes as a VM in one of following formats: VMware ESXi or MS Hyper-V. ERP software developer recommends only those hypervisors...

    Okay to set up DHCP server as VM in Proxmox?

    I think it should work with no issues. I'd consider to passthrough a dedicated NIC to that DHCP VM though (but it's "just" a homelab anyway).

    Hi there. I got myself a new server with 4xSSD hardware Raid10 on it. I've just installed latest Proxmox and everything seem to work, however PM web-console sessions seem to expire quite often. I'm unable to finish uploading larger ISO's (session breaks during upload). I get the: invalid pve...

    Backup VMs with multiple VDs...

    Yes, that's pretty much what I'd like to do... I think it would be nice to have some extra flexibility setting up backups. Also would be nice to choose VMs contents to restore... Well, I guess it's the primary solution for now, doesn't mean it wouldn't be nice to have that feature on the 'upper...

    Backup VMs with multiple VDs...

    Here's one: While there is a parameter for excluding VD from backup ("no backup") feels I miss something... What if VM has multiple VD's - lets say 1st VD =vm OS (boot); 2nd VD= vm DATA Now... How to perform a backup with OS-VD only lets say once a week, while performing full backups (or even...
