    [SOLVED] Recovering VMs from HDD from failed server

    Hi Albert, Welcome to the forums! For the rest of the story it does not matter so much, but I wondered which HDD and which server, recalling that you already had HDD and server connected to begin with. This is what I understood from your plight: A server (A) crashed thoroughly enough not to...

    All three of my proxmox servers restart unexpectedly.

    Hi José, No need to apologize, most of us here are learning :-) The best way to learn may be education, but doing is a good second. Asking someone to solve the problem without having a look yourself takes away the chance to learn. Pay special attention to spirit's message: I think he solved...

    All three of my proxmox servers restart unexpectedly.

    Hi spirit, Thanks for chiming in! I wondered about that, but could not find it in the docs (and did not know what to search for). How could you recognize the problem, is it the retries on the messages or the sync/membership changes like the snippet below? Is the timeout configurable, or...

    Hanging at "loading initial ramdisk"

    Hi nexi, Welcome to the forums! That is a strange problem you have there. But no question and very little info to go by ;-) Proxmox runs on Debian, which runs on Linux. The initial ramdisk is started before the actual Linux kernel runs, and is not Proxmox specific. I tell this, because you...

    All three of my proxmox servers restart unexpectedly.

    The forum is for help you, not to do your work! ;-) Did you have a look at the files yourself? What is your conclusion?

    All three of my proxmox servers restart unexpectedly.

    Hi José, That woul maked power difficulties extremely far fetched Yes, there is. Proxmox is built on Debian. Do you have experience troubleshooting Linux systems? It seems there are network problems, but I would learn something new if that turned out to be causing the synchronous reboot...

    SATA SSD is not recognized lsblk

    Hi user 19... But you can access them in Proxmox 7.4 or another OS? There is a way to find out of course... Is the testserver in a datacenter near you?

    Proxmox 8 Installer screen

    Hi generalproxyuser, Does the Proxmox-installer have a text mode? Does it suffer the same symptoms? It may not solve the problem with the graphical install, but at least you can get going. Another workaround would be of course to install 7.4 and then upgrade. As for the cause of the...

    All three of my proxmox servers restart unexpectedly.

    Hi José, What I notice: All three servers reboot at the same moment, Nov 01 10:39:33 There are many cpg_send_message retry's, which does not seem the way it should ] A processor failed, forming new configuration: token timed out (3650ms), waiting 4380ms for consensus. ; more than 4 seconds is...

    Proxmox keeps freezing, out of options

    That may be, but the 1x PNY Nvidia Quadro P200 is not there just as "smart heating", is it? :p

    Proxmox keeps freezing, out of options

    I got a 4-port Quadro in my workstation. The benefit I have of four screens hardly outweighs the amount X-restarts, Plasma freezes and kernel crashes. It's my first nVidia card in years, having stayed with manufacturers that do provide proper open source drivers. I had not imagined the state to...

    Ubuntu VM does not have an @IP

    The forum is full of knowledgeable people that like to help, but there is some learning curve. Your Proxmox comes with high grade (in my opinion) documentation, but the documentation does not start at "zero". The overview is on the first page of the administration guide at...

    All three of my proxmox servers restart unexpectedly.

    Hi José, Welcome to the forums! My first reaction would be: troubleshoot! What are the circumstances under which the servers reboot? Do they restart all three at the same time, or one time the one and then another day the other? Which causes have you checked and excluded? How long have the...

    Adding old hard drives from old an old installation

    These two entries seem to match the first disk in your "Disks" screenshot, don't they? So, yes, there are contents in the "Storage" tab, but they are the new storage locations, on your new disk. You'll have to match the "Disks" info with what you remember of the contents, to create entries in...

    Adding old hard drives from old an old installation

    Oh, wait.. I misread that as "the hard drives appear under Disks" (the difference being, "Disks" is just the hardware, "Storage" got meaning to Proxmox). So you got the storage available, but your containers and VM's on it are not available, let alone running? I _think_ you can just create a...

    Adding old hard drives from old an old installation

    Hi nonymus, Welcome to the forums :-) Yes, there is! Proxmox 'knows' the storage that is registered in `/etc/pve/storage.cfg`. Which kind of storage did you use, as in ZFS, LVM, ...? Depending on that, you'd start the stanza with the one or the other keyword. For example, a snippet of my...

    Continue tape backup after TASK ERROR: alloc writable media in pool 'tapeset' failed: no usable media found

    Hi all, I started a backup to tape. There were about one and a half tape free (in a four-tape set), I did not think of allocating more tapes to the pool. Unfortunately, there is more data to back up than there is tape in the pool. The task ended in `alloc writable media in pool 'tapeset'...
