    New to Proxmox – Need help installing on Dell T3500 and setting up backups/network storage

    You are asking for a complete book, or two. Did you look into any documentation? https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#chapter_installation Use ZFS as the basis. Learn how to install Virtual Machines. Use a VM to serve files. There are a zillion options, each having some pros...

    Server restarting? unknown reason at midnight

    That's already seven seconds after midnight ;-) There might be a chance that it was triggered at 00:00:00, so the journal from 23:59:55 to 00:00:07 might have more information.

    [TUTORIAL] FABC: Why is ProxmoxVE using all my RAM and why can't I see the real RAM usage of the vms in the dashboard?

    Except for the surprising event that "PCI passthrough" in configured, then it must be "active" from the start because of the chance that DMA is used. Disclaimer: as-far-as-I-know = never been there

    Disable server shutdown/restart from the web interface

    Good idea - visually different is the key here. You may open a "Feature Request / Bug"-report over at https://bugzilla.proxmox.com to persist this idea :-)

    Issue deploying LXC template to get docker deployed

    External scripts are considered "problematic" - at least in this forum. Please search for it... Also: "If you want to run application containers, for example, Docker images, it is recommended that you run them inside a Proxmox QEMU VM." - https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Linux_Container

    RAM Usage proxmox

    Your Ram is below the recommended size, which is 2 GiB "for the OS": https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#install_recommended_requirements I would try to upgrade to as much Ram as the Computer accepts, to get some free headroom. (I say that because I just replaced some of my...

    Fine! And the "Server ID" is also identical? If yes --> contact support; directly on that webpage (iirc) and while you're logged in.

    PBS not listing any Snapshots/ Backups

    RaidZ2 auf ausschließlich Blech? Worst case ;-) Ich hatte das "damals" auch mal so ähnlich gemacht. Mit demselben Resultat. Die Story habe ich mittlerweile mehrfach hier gepostet, die neueste Version: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/high-i-o-delay-fluctuating-transfer-rates.165798/post-768469

    OpenMediaVault, SSD, Datenrettung

    Nein, das ZVOL beinhalte in diesem Sinne keine Dateien und kann nicht direkt gemountet werden. Das glaube ich erstmal nicht. MBR und GPT driften historisch bedingt (und unerwünscht) gerne mal auseinander. Das ist doch eine positive Vollzugsmeldung, oder? Ich kann das momentan nicht...

    Virtual Environment 8.4.1 broadcast 0.0.0.0

    Actually I must admit I did not notice "ifconfig" but read "ip" - my fault. I am sure everything is fine her, it looks the same on my boxes. Not sure why "ifconfig" reports "0.0.0.0". The deprecation of "net-tools" (which contains ifconfig) was discussed since 2009... (...

    OpenMediaVault, SSD, Datenrettung

    Okay, das sieht doch gut aus. Das erste "omv" ist ein Dataset, der nach "/mnt/temp/omv" gemountet werden kann. Einige Infos dazu liefert zfs get all omv | grep mount. Entweder ist er bereits eingebunden, oder man kann das manuell mit "zfs mount omv" erledigen. Das Ding ist sehr klein...

    Probably "staff" should answer this, but: go to https://shop.proxmox.com/index.php?rp=/login and verify your status and Server ID. See also: https://shop.proxmox.com/index.php?rp=/knowledgebase/6/Server-change---How-can-I-move-my-current-subscription-key-to-the-new-server.html

    Live migration zero downtime

    Well... technically you are right. But: 1) it IS mandatory for High-Availability and 2) you can not administrate the surviving, single node without further tricks. Without having Quorum it will deny any command. Yes, the workaround "pvecm expected 1" is well known and officially documented...

    OpenMediaVault, SSD, Datenrettung

    Das ist prima! Die Frage kann ich nicht konkret beantworten, ich verwende kein OMV. Generell: in einem ZFS Pool sind zwei "Sorten" Daten enthalten: ZVOLs stellen Blockdevices bereit und DATASETs sind eigenständige Dateisysteme. Was und wie OMV verwendet weiß ich nicht. Zeig mal die Ausgaben...

    High I/O delay, fluctuating transfer rates

    For PBS? I doubt that. PBS as a backups system is writing new data only and reading it once in a blue moon (or for scheduled verification). Note that HDD + Metadata on SSD is a special case though. "Enterprise Class" is... highly recommended for running PVE with multiple active VMs hammering...

    Live migration zero downtime

    Nitpicking: it does "fence" itself only if "High Availability" is active. "The other" node in a cluster without HA won't do that.

    OpenMediaVault, SSD, Datenrettung

    OMV verwendet ZFS? Cool! Dann ist "zpool import" - erst ohne, und dann sicher mit Parameter nötig. man zpool-import erläutert -n / -f / -F usw. Eine man-page ist allerdings kein Tutorial, das wird du "draußen" suchen müssen. (( Ich selber habe bisher extrem wenig Probleme mit meinen Pools...

    High I/O delay, fluctuating transfer rates

    Sure. A lot of "special" things do work in a homelab. Until they don't ;-) The most important aspect from my story is that one should know that some use cases are not "officially supported" although they seem to work at a first glance.

    OpenMediaVault, SSD, Datenrettung

    Die Imagedatei enthält eine Festplatte, keine einzelne Partition. Die Partitionstabelle ist daher im Weg. Es mag verschiedene Ansätze geben, damit umzugehen. Ich verwende für so etwas: $ apt show kpartx Source: multipath-tools Homepage: http://christophe.varoqui.free.fr/ Description...
