Hello, I was looking to do some snapshots and backups programatically via scripts around qm/pvesm, however can't seem to find the said feature in the man pages. Is there another utility I should be looking at?

Thanks, that's what I wanted to hear.

Hello, I need to find a way to install Proxmox automatically and I found the wiki page where it's said to install Debian Stretch first, then install promox on top of that. I am happy to proceed that way, but I was wondering.. how OK is this procedure? Are developers happy with it for a...

Yes, my question is, does Proxmox set this to anything in particular (like EC2 does[1]) or just leaves the KVM defaults on? [1] - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/identify_ec2_instances.html

Hello, I'm trying to establish in a script whether the VM runs on top of Proxmox KVM. I'm looking at /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_uuid to be more specific. Will that value be always Proxmox specific and how can I determine that? Regards, Lucian

His patch is for 5.3.. if you are on 5.2 it won't apply cleanly. Upgrade.

Just ran these the other week, thought I'd share. I'll try to do some more proper ones on Linux, but before that happens here's some CrystalDiskMark ones on Windows 2019 (virtio-scsi). The underlying storage is a single Samsung 850 PRO SSD. I was pleasantly surprised by the QCOW2 performance...

I must be even more terrible with Windows than I thought, but after all the modifications, I still got no success whatsoever. No user got created, no password set, no IP, host, nothing. All I got after sysprep was to be asked a new password for the Administrator. I am giving up on this solution...

Thanks, I'll try my luck soon enough! :-)

Hello, Are there any updates to this? I'm trying to get some Windows templates running, but cloudbase-init does nothing for me. Is there configuration required on cloudbase side? I just ran it, it sysprepped by system, but it has not set any IPs, users, password nothing. I tried with cloud-init...

Hello, I'd like to maintain a set of KVM templates internally to our company and register these templates (either raw or qcow2 files) on any new Proxmox hosts. My question is, how can I register these VM templates in newly deployed hosts so I can spawn VMs from them? I see there's an upload...

It's my understanding that to create a cluster you need to start with fresh hypervisors, without VMs running. I am trying to force a "cluster of one" so that I can run VMs on it and if later I want to add another to the cluster it won't mess up my virtual machines. Am I missing something?

Hi, I am evaluating hypervisors and I need to know whether it's possible to make a cluster with just one hypervisor. The reason I am asking is because I want to later be able to expand the setup with additional hypervisors and I can't expand standalone hypervisors without removing the VMs etc...

Hello, I'm not able to start existing stopped VMs or newly created ones. All I get in syslog is: pvedaemon: "kvm params" failed: got timeout (see attached logs) I restarted pvedaemon, but it did not change anything. Any ideas how to get more information? I'd really like to know who failed...

Hello, First of all, any ETA on cloud-init? It's very important to us as it simplifies deployment hugely. I understand there might be support in a "testing" branch. How could I play with that, any docs? Second, will Proxmox use configdrive for metadata? Thank you
