    [SOLVED] Newbie needs help on setting VLANs on a single physical NIC

    Hey mate, thanks for the post. Read it and viewed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljq6wlzn4qo as well. My setup is slightly different: connection of eno1 is to a managed switch port that carries both untagged (VLAN=1, of sorts) and tagged (100, 200) traffic. In your example, it feels like...

    [SOLVED] Newbie needs help on setting VLANs on a single physical NIC

    Got a host running PVE 8.2, that has a single NIC, eno0. A vmbr0 is also connected. The interface is physically connected to a switch port that is configured to carry LAN untagged traffic, as well as DMZ (vlan id = 100) and WAN (vlan id = 200) VLAN'ed traffic. Now, some VMs on my host should...

    downsides of using Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 in HBA mode - ZFS

    Thanks for the information. I went ahead and used the SSD in a hardware mirror setup, whereas left the HDDs as they are. Installed PVE to use the mirrored SSD as a boot XFS drive and then created a ZFS ZRAID pool from the 3 HDDs. Seems to be fine for the time being, will monitor.

    Same controller here as well, and in need for the same information since I'm trying to find out whether I'll use ZFS or not on my DL360Gen 10 with Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 RAID controller.

    Initial installation: file system setup advise needed

    I take then that you prefer qcow2 for VM storage? If so, any specific reasons for electing this path? EDIT: There's this thread that does not encourage the use of this controller for ZFS: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/downsides-of-using-smart-array-p408i-a-sr-gen10-in-hba-mode-zfs.136214/...

    Initial installation: file system setup advise needed

    I'm gonna have a Windows Server 2022 as well as a Linux VM for starters (not much, I know). Would you prefer to set these up with block or with file storage? And what about the PVE boot disk setup? ZFS-something or something else?

    Initial installation: file system setup advise needed

    Hello, back in the day I used to utilize LVM for storage. A couple of PVE hosts I've setup were nothing special regarding their hardware and articles regarding file system format seemed to advise using LVM for a variety of reasons. Now I've got a one year old Proliant DL360 Gen 10 with two...

    [SOLVED] Does proxmox still offer a fully free version?

    If understand correctly what has been written above, and as @Dunuin noted, one can use PVE for free but without having access to the proxmox enterprise-grade repositories. As you've mentioned, getting a subscription is a basically technically recommendation, since you do not have access to tried...

    [SOLVED] Does proxmox still offer a fully free version?

    Loved Proxmox. Even managed to hold on to two hosts, when upper management furnished my department with an ESXi-based cluster (2 nodes and FC-based storage) ... which now they don't know what to do the way things turned for vmware... Will upgrade the ones at work and will install a home server...

    [SOLVED] Does proxmox still offer a fully free version?

    I see, but I'm still confused: what is the cost associated with the community edition (see https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-virtual-environment/pricing ) for? IOW, can I install a community edition at work, without buying a subscription of some sort?

    [SOLVED] Does proxmox still offer a fully free version?

    Some years ago I was able to make a couple of proxmox installations without any licensing. At the time that meant that my installations did not have access to the enterprise proxmox repositories, advertised as thoroughly tested. Is it still possible today? Asking here because I see there is a...

    Hello, I'm using the free version of PVE for some time now on a single node. Our network addressing changed recently so I had to change its ip address. I did so from the network interface. That happened about a week ago. Today I had a VM that did not respond even though the web interface of...
