    VM ID changed, now OS won't boot

    I simply moved the VM IDs from 150 149 148 147 146 145 144 143 142 142 to 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150. I'll have to research how to clone or backup&restore after I rescue Proxmox. I've just noticed the 141.conf - 150.conf files are in two different locations...

    VM ID changed, now OS won't boot

    I changed the VM ID and now the 2 VM's OS Console shows error: Volume group "VolGroup00" not found The other VM is trying to run a new install. I followed this process to rename the VM IDs. Funnily enough, there were no files in /var/lib/vz/images. Stop VM > Yes > SSH into Proxmox < $ cd...

    Thanks, yes watched a few of those. Haven't found anything re port forwards for closed ports yet.

    Stuck port forwarding packets via router vm

    I setup a new router vm in Proxmox, however the restored port forward rules do not send packets to the vm servers. I read this post #4 https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-with-opnsense-as-router-gw.34832/ which seems like what I need, but I'm unclear on the flow of packets with the new vm...

    Backup strategy idea, to clear Proxmox storage

    I need to manage my Proxmox disk storage, which often fills up with automatic Proxmox daily backups to the Proxmox disk. My idea is to create a cron script, to rsync the latest backup (daily on Proxmox) weekly to another machine. If the transfer to machine2 is successful (machine2 may be turned...

    Cannot connect to Proxmox

    Now I am only unclear on what happens when my new vm router fails. The network will be down and I'll need to access Proxmox to repair the vm router. I have 2 NICs, a 3rd NIC would allow Proxmox management, however I think there's a way to work with 2 NICs, but don't have my head around it just yet.

    How can I configure Proxmox and pfSense vm?

    Cannot connect to Proxmox

    All fixed! I didn't fully understand the results from $ip link. Figured out how the eth0,eth1,vmbr0 and vmbr1 interfaces connected to each other and that master vmbrX is the parent of the ethX. From there was easy to read the UP DOWN statuses and then configure /etc/network/interfaces correctly.

    Cannot connect to Proxmox

    How do I do this? It's likely something like this or the MAC addresses, which may have been messed up upon setting up bridges to a vm pfsense.

    Cannot connect to Proxmox

    I think I may have messed up the Proxmox /etc/network/interface settings for eth0 or eth1? Is it notable that the NIC0 doesn't light up, even with a cable connected...only NIC1 seems to work.

    Cannot connect to Proxmox

    New thread following from https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/how-can-i-configure-proxmox-and-pfsense-vm.50443/page-2#post-235379 Basically I can no longer ping or browse Proxmox after trying to setup a vm router pfsense. My personal PC is connected from a NIC port via Cat6e Ethernet cable to...

    How can I configure Proxmox and pfSense vm?

    Thank you, I updated vmbr0/vmbr1 settings, as per photo attached. My LAN PC 192.168.1.120 can now ping Proxmox 192.168.1.140, however cannot browse 192.168.1.140? See photo of 192.168.1.120’s settings. Not sure why I can’t browse Proxmox GUI, so I added a photo of the vm pfSense settings...

    How can I configure Proxmox and pfSense vm?

    Here’s the photo, attached. The ISP modem has a coaxial cable to the wall. There is no physical hardware router. Pfsense is a virtual machine in Proxmox.

    How can I configure Proxmox and pfSense vm?

    So, what is the PVE and VM network topology? ISP > ISP modem (bridged) > ISP modem NIC WAN > PVE NIC WAN > VM pfSense vNIC WAN > VM pfSense vNIC LAN > PVE NIC LAN > Switch LAN > 24 ports of LAN devices. So, how do the Interfaces and MAC addresses fit into this? PVE NIC WAN: don’t...

    How can I configure Proxmox and pfSense vm?

    Ok, I’m taking a step back, to clarify the interface allocation, which is probably the cause of issue. I still don’t understand which interface is which and what to allocate the interface to. Then I need to allocate in Proxmox via CLI, as I have no GUI access. ISP Modem with WAN NIC. Proxmox...

    How can I configure Proxmox and pfSense vm?

    I’m confused on what the Proxmox machine’s MAC address is in ‘ip-a’?

    How can I configure Proxmox and pfSense vm?

    So, my understanding from the tcpdump is that Proxmox 192.168.1.140 needs the MAC address of the pfSense vm And PfSense 192.168.1.170 needs the MAC address of the Proxmox machine. I thought pfSense’s MAC address was ee:1a:d6:89:dc:97 (LAN). Need to be sure. So how to check MAC addresses...

    How can I configure Proxmox and pfSense vm?

    Yes, assumptions are correct. I’m working through the other steps for the basic configuration. Not interested in VPNs, just reading information that might solve the problem. The old router had an Ethernet RJ45 connection. Thanks for clarifying the Linux Bridge Up/down thing. Continuing to...
