    Serial Pass-through Communication Errors

    Hey everyone. I have a situation where I have setup Proxmox on a HP Elite 8200 and am having a few odd issues in relation to native serial passthrough. I have an old industrial controller that was running on an old XP that is now being retired, and I decided to setup Windows 10 in a VM and pass...

    How to Reset Networking after replacing NIC?

    Hey jjman, Since I posted this I have learned a lot about how networking works in Proxmox. It's actually fairly straightforward, but slightly different to standard Debian. Here are my notes: Discover the network interfaces on your device. You can do this by typing “ip link show”. Look for an...

    Proxmox VE 5.3 released!

    I personally don't have swap enabled at the moment. That said, if I had to go down the path of setting up swap, I would be setting up a swapfile. Since proxmox just runs on top of debian you should be able to do this fairly easily. I might try it out myself sometime.

    After upgrade to 5.3, nested virtualization on the windows 16 server does not work

    Sorry should have been more clear, I'm trying to run Proxmox within Proxmox. But you are right. I thought I had toggled the flag to enable nested virtualization, but when I went to check with the command "cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested" it returned N. I ran "echo "options kvm-intel...

    Proxmox VE 5.3 released!

    Thanks for confirming - must just be something to do with my setup. I already have the CPU type set to host so it must be something else, I won't clutter this thread with details.

    Proxmox VE 5.3 released!

    I must say this update is very nice so far. Adding the storage configurations via the web UI is a nice touch. Quick question though - has anyone been able to get nested virtualization to work on this version? I'm having a bit of trouble getting it to pass through VT-X capabilities for a proxmox...

    After upgrade to 5.3, nested virtualization on the windows 16 server does not work

    I'm also having issues with nested virtualization. I am using Proxmox 5.3-5, and I'm currently getting the following error when trying to run Proxmox under a hypervisor: TASK ERROR: KVM virtualisation configured, but not available. Either disable in VM configuration or enable in BIOS. Any...

    Best practice for Proxmox self-backup

    Very interesting thread, look forward to testing this out. The limited backup abilities have always made me nervous to the point where I have been manually creating images of the PVE boot SSD just in case. That said, can anyone shine some light on what to do if you needed to restore from a...

    Rescue Raw VM Disk from Proxmox 4.3

    Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately I was met with problems. See the following terminal output - any ideas? root@pve1:~# echo "deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian jessie pve-no-subscription" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-install-repo.list root@pve1:~# wget -O-...

    High CPU load for Windows 10 Guests when idle

    Update - out of curiosity it looks like you can't disable HPET on modern HP business grade hardware, so there's that. Will the workarounds in this thread potentially interfere with fixes in the future? Also, has anyone tried Windows 10 1809 yet?

    Rescue Raw VM Disk from Proxmox 4.3

    If it helps - I can boot Proxmox and get network connectivity and access to storage, but I am unsure what to do from there since I cannot access a WebUI to start the VM.

    High CPU load for Windows 10 Guests when idle

    Perhaps a silly question, but would it be advisable to simply disable HPET in the BIOS of the host until this is fixed?

    Rescue Raw VM Disk from Proxmox 4.3

    Hi everyone, I have an unfortunate situation where my Proxmox 4.3 installation failed to bring up the WebUI and VMs after attempting to update the system. I was confronted by a half-complete update caused by unmet dependances for zfsutils, and after attempting to remove zfsutils I somehow...

    High CPU load for Windows 10 Guests when idle

    Just chiming in that I've been seeing this issue as well. I've also been experiencing 99% CPU usage on a Windows 8.1 guest, but I get the feeling that might be a different issue, so will make a different thread since changing the system type to "other" didn't make a difference.

    Moving hardware

    I just had to do this recently - unfortunately the only way I was able to get things working after the migration was to completely re-install Proxmox from scratch. I couldn't work out for the life of me why network configurations weren't working. Followed the debian standards in terms of network...

    How to Reset Networking after replacing NIC?

    As an update to this old post, I tried these methods but I was unable to achieve reliable connectivity. It did work initially, then after a reboot the server wasn't accessible again. I decided to simply reformat Proxmox and restore backups of my guest VMs manually on the latest version which is...

    How to Reset Networking after replacing NIC?

    Hey guys, sorry for the relatively noob-ey question here, but I'm struggling to figure this one out. I originally setup Proxmox 5.0 on an old Core2Quad system that was laying around just a temporary setup which worked well, and I have since moved it to a HP Elitedesk 800 (Haswell i5, Intel NIC)...
