    Proxmox for Beginners

    That doesn't match my experience at all. I installed the most recent ISO on new hardware, had the installer configure the drives as ZFS, and I've had no issues. The first machine I played with for a week was using a ZFS mirror that I added a SLOG to, then once I decided I was going to use...

    XenServer to Proxmox

    Yeah. The best option may be to create a new VM, rsync the filesystem and get all the files across, then set the site read-only, dump the database, gzip it, transfer that, rsync one more time while the database is decompressing on the target machine, import and database, test, and switch DNS...

    XenServer to Proxmox

    I'd love to see them. :) I'm evaluating all options here. My goal is to migrate VMs (or rebuild them if I have to) from my datacenter that's in another state to the cluster I'm building at home. Max bandwidth would probably be 10 MB/s, and if I'm not careful that will really drive up my...

    Best SSDs, SSD or NVMe

    That's what I went as it was more affordable. I'm not unhappy with the performance I'm seeing using that as a SLOG (not a dedicated boot drive). I believe the SM863 is optimized for writes, but the PM863 is optimized for reads. Google it. :)

    XenServer to Proxmox

    Wait, so you powered down the VM, connected the clonezilla CD to the virtual drive, booted to that, created the archive file (for lack of a better word) on a network share, then restored from that onto Proxmox and the resulting VM booted and ran cleanly?

    open ports to connect outside of my LAN

    I don't know your firewall, but port forwarding TCP connections on port 8006 to your Proxmox box should work. Of course, > half the time I've spent setting up my new cluster and VMs has been firewall issues. It's not necessarily easy to isolate the problem...

    [SOLVED] invalid PVE ticket

    Aaaand, you found the problem. ntp is timing out waiting on replies, so it's likely a firewall issue. Mar 15 12:06:44 pve1 systemd[1]: Started Network Time Synchronization. Mar 15 12:06:54 pve1 systemd-timesyncd[14835]: Timed out waiting for reply from 162.220.9.203:123 (0.debian.pool.ntp.org)...

    [SOLVED] invalid PVE ticket

    Times are off by 6 seconds. Is ntp not installed by default?

    [SOLVED] invalid PVE ticket

    I've been logging in as root. I tried creating a new user, adding it to a group, and delegating the Administrator role to it in the hope that I could log in that way, but that didn't seem to work either. I mean, I can log into the first machine using that new username/realm, but I get the same...

    [SOLVED] invalid PVE ticket

    Here's the sequence of events leading up to this problem: Install one PVE host. Play with it for a week or so. Get happy. Buy support, and update from the stable repository. Install Proxmox on a second machine. Buy support, install updates from stable repository. Create a cluster with these...

    You are connecting using https://, right?

    [SOLVED] Headless Proxmox possible?

    Well, here's my take. Right now I've got a pretty nice setup in a datacenter, but since I no longer host for others and am only hosting for myself, and because I've got gigabit fiber at the house, I'm trying to save $1,000 per month by moving in-house (literally). So I'm going as low end as I...

    [SOLVED] Headless Proxmox possible?

    The former. As I tried to state, I haven't seen a server without any sort of video output in over a decade, maybe two. I'm curious as to what hardware you're trying to run on, honestly, as the Supermicro boxes I've got at a datacenter allow virtualized access over IPMI, so plugging in a...

    [SOLVED] Headless Proxmox possible?

    I'm running headless right now, but all of the servers I've bought in the last decade have had video output on the motherboard, so GPU wasn't an issue. Most recently I plugged an old TV into the server because it had 2x display ports (and I didn't have a spare adapter) and an HDMI port, but...

    unable to install: "no cdrom found"

    I don't have a fix for you, but I reinstalled Proxmox once, and found that installing/reinstalling from DVD works fine, but I ran into the same issue with a USB keyfob that you did.

    Deciding on L2ARC size (if at all)

    Situation: I'm evaluating a cluster built on low-end Dell T30 computers with ram maxed out at 64G. I have the recommended Samsung SSD as a SLOG using a 32G partition, and I'm trying to decide if I should dedicate the rest of the drive to L2ARC functionality, and if so how much of it? In...

    Increasing prices for community edition?

    I'll offer this: I'm migrating to Proxmox from Citrix Xenserver. I used to subscribe to XenServer, then they changed the licensing procedure (I needed to run a new VM to handle licensing) that I couldn't make work and there was zero support for getting it installed even though I was paying...

    Thanks, Wolfgang. I appreciate the confirmation that I'm doing OK with what I've got. :)
