Hey! I've upgraded from Proxmox 5 to Proxmox 6 beta and it went very smooth. The update, in itself, is not that risky. What is risky though is the drivers support depending on the kernel version. Keep in mind that if you're running compiled drivers, DKMS or something driver dependent inside the...

@MarkusH87 The ssh is active: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/console-ssh-login-does-not-work.10/#post-20 I assume you should be able to use FTPS upload, but this is not good security wise. You may need to explore the topic more in-depth. A quick search gave me this...

Hey! You're not doing anything wrong. There are no drivers that work for Debian 10 (on which Proxmox 6 is based), therefore the card stops working. Please help the cause by joining the Western Digital support center here: https://portal.wdc.com/Support/s/login/?startURL=%2FSupport%2Fs%2F&ec=302...

Can you try this solution: http://matnet.my/blog/2019/01/proxmox-installation-failed-unable-to-create-volume-group-pve/ It basically boils down to wiping (within iDrac it's called "initialising") the disks.

Seems that you're not the only one: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/intallations-failure-for-unable-bios_boot-partition.55818/

Can you please provide your storage setup? Drives type, number of drives, what RAID are they in? Have you tried (are you able to try) to install it from a USB stick?

Hey! Out of the door i'd recommend using ZFS for all the RAIDs, with added value being data integrity check. As for the RAIDs, you normally use RAID0 when you need to improve RW speed. RAID5 is not advised, especially for the capacities you've stated. Depending on how constraint you are with...

AFAIR, ZFS supports RAW disk image out of the box and allows for snapshots to be made. Try setting up a test VM and see if snapshots are being created.

@sconnary32 Btw, from my personal experience with R630s, try to update to latest version the iDRAC, BIOS and RAID controller firmware. Those can really make a difference.

Seems like a case of outdated BIOS and outdated microcode of CPU. To quote the explanation from here: Your processor microcode (firmware) is old and contains bugs. Sometimes motherboard BIOS updates contain processor microcode updates, but not always, and BIOS isn't always at the latest level...

I am really afraid to assume something, but it may be as stupid as some copy-paste problem from the forum (e.g. smart quotes, etc). Let me know if it's possible to connect remotely and i can try to fix it.

If i were you, i'd look into what bottlenecks are most likely: will skip the obvious - RAM, CPU and uplink - if you feel that you're getting close to 80-90%, work on improving those if you have multiple IOPS or your storage RW speed is getting close to RAID throughput, look into getting PCIe...

And i just realised that "slow" can have a different meaning for different people. If you're saying that, e.g. Windows GUI is lagging, keep in mind that GPU resources are not virtualised, so basically your VM machines have no GPU to rely on. This means that all the graphical operations can...

Hey! Make sure you use the following configs for your VMs: VirtIO network adapter VirtIO SCSI as SCSI controller SCSI disk type (also VirtIO drivers) Keep in mind that often the bottleneck can come from the drives (RW speed, IOPS), so make sure you use efficient storage setup (e.g. ZFS...

I'll try to map the whole data transfer path (if i miss something, i hope the community will fill in the gaps: When you initiate a VM to VM copy (on the same server), the data is requested from the drives. I expect there are no read bottlenecks, regardless of the system. The only limitation is...

Are you using Virtio as your Network device for VMs? Or are you using Intel E1000?

Totally agree! Especially if you want to swap all the disks.

Possible, but dangerous. It depends a lot on what are you using to create the RAID. Is it a hardware RAID, managed by the controller? If so, it is highly advisable to have at least 4 drives of the same model. In your case you're substituting 1TB drive with 960GB one and this may likely result...

Hey! It seems to be an issue specific to your instance only. Have you updated Proxmox to the latest version? Is it a clean Proxmox installation, or have you installed it atop of the Debian? Is there enough free space on the root drive (where Proxmox is)? Have you changed permissions for the...

Hey! It looks like you've no free PVE repository listed. You should include this repository. Here's what you need to do:nano /etc/apt/sources.list Insert the following line just after the first line that is there:deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian stretch pve-no-subscription Afterwords run...
