    Hi, have you already got the auto shutdown working? How has your experience been?

    assign vps per ethrnert port with subnet /32

    Have you already got your VMs working? You can create one bridge per port in the GUI of Proxmox VE and attach one VM to each bridge in the VM creation wizard (or later in the hardware overview of the VM).

    adding new linux bridge

    Have you already added the bridge? Yes, adding a new bridge is only a few clicks in the GUI. Probably not. It's like adding a second switch. Do you mean you attached 5 VMs to the bridge and they use the IPs? What does your /etc/network/interfaces look like?

    Newbie help needed to migrate VMware Windows vm to Proxmox

    ovftool 4.4 seems to not work with ESXi 6.0 https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/unable-to-migrate-vm-from-esxi-6-0-0-to-proxmox-6-3-2.82301/#post-362781

    Newbie help needed to migrate VMware Windows vm to Proxmox

    If you find the Export function in the GUI then you don't need the ovftool. If you really want to go the CLI route then you need to do something like the following: chmod +x VMware-ovftool-4.4.0-15722219-lin.x86_64.bundle ./VMware-ovftool-4.4.0-15722219-lin.x86_64.bundle I don't think that...

    Unraid VM img to Proxmox help

    Are your VMs on Unraid all run from Live ISO images or installed on virtual disks? If 2 then you do not need the CD/DVD or ISO storage overview. Instead, you should for each Unraid VM Create a VM in Proxmox VE using the GUI Directly remove the initial disk, you don't need it anymore Use qm...

    Newbie help needed to migrate VMware Windows vm to Proxmox

    Hi, there should be an option to export your VMs as .ovf in ESXi. You then have to move these files to a place that is accessible by Proxmox VE: Network drive, external disk or just upload via scp to Proxmox VE. You can then use qm importovf to import your VMs to Proxmox VE...

    Installation on ML350 G10

    With RHEL and SUSE working I'd be surprised if Proxmox VE would not work, but I cannot guarantee it. Maybe HP can give you detailed information.

    No routing from pfSence to proxmox.

    Is your pfSense a VM or an external machine? What settings do you have in it? Generally, using tcpdump -i <interface> on the various interfaces should give you an overview of where your packages are going to or not going to.

    Installation on ML350 G10

    Hi, which network card & disk controllers are exactly in your new system? You can also search for compatibility with Ubuntu or Debian online (Proxmox VE uses Ubuntu Kernel). If what you want is ZFS RAID then your controller should support acting as HBA only.

    Fiber san direct to proxmox

    Yes, I would recommend exporting one big LUN and then set up LVM on top of that LUN (in the PVE GUI). If you add the iSCSI storage using the GUI you have to pay attention to the "Use LUNs directly" checkbox. In case you haven't seen it yet: There are helpful Wiki pages about iSCSI generally and...

    Fiber san direct to proxmox

    That's probably because all your MSA 2040 disks display "Usage ext4" instead of "Usage No" in the screenshot. Could you please also post the following? cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg

    Would this easy (host) backup-restore method work?

    I'd really recommend trying it out because only a tested backup is a real backup. As a first step, you can do so by creating a virtual PVE inside PVE: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Nested_Virtualization#Enable_Nested_Hardware-assisted_Virtualization

    [SOLVED] Migrating a linux machine to a Proxmox hosted VM

    Yes :) The path /var/lib/vz belongs to the storage (of PVE) "local" and it seems you have created all your VMs on the storage "local-lvm". This is completely fine. I just find it easier to manually copy files around in the "local" storage. You can then use the "Move disk" command in the Hardware...

    [SOLVED] Converted 40GB (real) VHDX to RAW (256GB full) onto 150GB (real) Local-LVM

    Hi! If you use Directory storages then you need qcow2 because such storages in PVE do not assume much about what the underlying directory is really capable of. In other words, the storage itself does not support snapshots. However, qcow2 supports snapshots internally. So that's how you can use...

    [SOLVED] Upload big .ova to Proxmox

    Could you temporarily add some network storage or external disk to your PVE host?

    [SOLVED] Migrating a linux machine to a Proxmox hosted VM

    When you already have a .raw or .qcow2 file then you can move it (in a default PVE installation) to /var/lib/vz/images/100/vm-100-disk-0.raw where you have to replace 100 with the ID of the VM that you want to use (target VM so to say) and the 0 with some unused number (so 0 is only OK if you...

    [SOLVED] Converted 40GB (real) VHDX to RAW (256GB full) onto 150GB (real) Local-LVM

    If you want snapshots then you will need qcow2. Conversion between raw and qcow2 should not be a problem. This is also an option in the GUI at Hardware->Move disk
