Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I didn't get very far with that. Here is the info from 'lspci -v': What did catch my eye was that it was not showing any kernel driver in use. I did some further digging. This is the output from 'journalctl -b -k | grep ixgbe': I'm not sure why it...

All sorted. Thanks. FS

Hi all, I've just today added a second CPU to my server after only a couple of months. I purchased a subscription for 1x CPU but I need to update this to 2x CPU. Looks like I can't edit the existing subscription to add the second CPU. There are options to purchase 1x CPU subscription again but...

Hi all, I’m trying to figure out how I configure a dual SFP+ card in PVE. It’s an Intel X520-DA2. It shows up when running lspci. I’m unsure of the steps I need to take to get this working. I had a guess, and made some changes. Unfortunately it didnt go well and I broke my access to the web...

Hi all, I've actually had this card installed since the offset but not had it connected or the setup. I would like to get it set up now and I have connected both fibre links to my switch. In PVE I have a total of 4 physical interfaces showing which would be correct given that the motherboard...

Hi all, I created my PVE scheduled backups yesterday on an SMB share on my TrueNAS. One of my VMs is TrueNAS. PVE ran through all the backups but the TrueNAS one failed. I guess this was to be expected but I didn't think of that at the time. Are there any tricks to make this work? I'm...

I found the issue, thanks to this blog post. https://jaylacroix.com/fixinghttps://jaylacroix.com/fixing-ubuntu-18-04-virtual-machines-that-fight-over-the-same-ip-address/ The problem was because of /etc/machine-id. FS

Possible. Probably something silly like that. Thanks for the link. I will have a look through it. FS

Hi all, One of the first things I did after setting up my PVE was creating a basic installation of Ubuntu Server, get it set up with all the basic bits, and then convert it to a template. I have cloned (full clone) this template a number of times and I did notice that each time I cloned it...

Thought I would post how I achieved this. I should note that my PVE is not currently part of a cluster. I do plan on adding further nodes in the future which is why I wanted to get this hostname changed now. My PVE did already have about 25 VMs running, however. Update /etc/hostname...

Hi all, I want to change the hostname of my PVE. It is already setup and running numerous VMs. I know I need to edit /etc/hostname and also /etc/hosts but from what I have read elsewhere on the forums and also online is that some directories also need to be moved for the VMs to continue...

Hi all, I am using PCIe passthrough to pass a SAS HBA through to a VM. I did this using the web interface in the hardware section for the VM. Everything was working fine until the other day when I had to power down the server. After it booted back up, the VM in question would no longer start...

I’ve got the ball rolling on an RMA for the faulty drive. This is my first failed drive using ZFS. Is there anything I need to do before I remove the hardware? Do I need to offline the drive or anything like that before taking it out?

Thanks for the info and advice. I will take a look later. No, I didn't burn them in. I wasn't aware that was a thing, to be honest. I'm kind of learning the ropes as I go. I just installed them and then created the zpool with them. I will have to look into how I do an RMA on the faulty one...

Hi all, Not off to a great start. I've had my PVE up for a couple of weeks now from a fresh install and setup. I am already showing zpool errors.:( I have a striped mirror zpool using 4x Samsung M.2 NVMe drives. All were purchased brand new a matter of weeks ago. I configured them into a...

Hi all, Is anyone else virtualizing TrueNAS? I have it up and running and I would like to install the QEMU guest agent. Has anyone successfully done this? Thanks, FS

Thanks. Sounds like it's best to leave the root user enabled in the web UI then. I have it disabled currently and I can still log in with my new admin user account. Are people generally just using the root account then? Maybe I should just always use the root account for the web UI so I don't...

OK, so I have installed sudo, created myself a new user account, and added that to the sudoers group. I did this on the command line and I assumed this would be enough to get access to the web interface but alas, it did not. I have added my new user account to the users list in the web UI...

I see. So if I create a mirror now and then and a VM to it, it won't migrate that data when I add the second mirror. I assume once the second mirror is added though it will automatically start striping across the two mirrors from that point on. Is there a way to force a migrate? So any...

Hi all, I'm going to be using 4x 1TB NVMe M.2 drives as my VM storage which I plan to run as a striped mirror. Currently, I only have two installed as I won't have the other two for a week or so. I'm eager to get going with the setup though. If I were to create ZFS mirror of the two installed...
