    Turning off memory hotplug is a work around. Still happening in Proxmox 8.1.4.

    TASK ERROR: memory size (65536) must be aligned to 2048 for hotplugging

    Turning off memory hotplugging allows the VM to start. Is there a limit to how much memory is allowed for hotplugging?

    TASK ERROR: memory size (65536) must be aligned to 2048 for hotplugging

    I have created a VM through the GUI and using "qm create" and "qm set". I want to assign it 64 GB of memory. Here is the conf file: agent: 1 bios: seabios boot: order=scsi0;ide2;net0 cores: 4 cpu: host hotplug: disk,cpu,memory,network ide2: truenas:iso/golden2.iso,media=cdrom,size=1011M memory...

    Importing a Ceph disk

    Also tried " pvesm alloc Ceph 998 vm-998-disk-0 41G" to create the disk but got the same error on import.

    Importing a Ceph disk

    Doing this all on the command line to create a VM on a Ceph storage. Hoping this is a simple fix. qm create ... qemu-img create rbd:Ceph/vm-998-disk-0 41G Formatting 'rbd:Ceph/vm-998-disk-0', fmt=raw size=44023414784 When I run the following command, I get this error: # qm disk import 998...

    Missing NIC

    "Missing" was perhaps a bad choice of words. "ip a" always showed the NICs as "down". Then I found I needed to flag the new NIC as "autostart". At this the link lights light up. Now "ip a" shows them as "up". I then created the bridge and it all works now. Thanks for helping me!

    Missing NIC

    I have three Cisco C220 M4 servers all loaded with Proxmox 8.1.4 and configured into a cluster. The cluster is healthy. Up until now I have been using one 1 GBe/sec NIC per node. Now I want to utilize another NIC (I have eight others to choose from). With the server at the POST screen, I can...

    qm destroy looking in the wrong place?

    You are totally right!! I wound up SSHing into the node that I wanted the VM created on and all is well.

    qm destroy looking in the wrong place?

    All at the command line... I have to jump through these hoops because "qm create" has no way to target a specific host in a cluster. So I run "qm create 1001" on HOST1. Then I run "qm migrate 1001 HOST2" on HOST1. Then I run "qm destroy 1001" on HOST1 And I get this message: "Configuration...

    Log files

    In looking through the forum posts, I see old posts with my answer but... I need to create a rather complex VM in Proxmox but from the command line. I see comments that say things like "Create the VM using the GUI then look at the logs for a qm create command". What "logs" are never mentioned...

    Command Line - Create a disk on Ceph storage

    I need to create a new VM (250+ actually) that uses Ceph storage. To create a disk on non-Ceph storage: echo "----- Creating the disk -----" qemu-img create -f qcow2 $DISK $STORAGE_SIZE How do I create a disk on Ceph storage?

    Multiple node networking

    I removed the comments and the NICS that are not being used. otherwise the file is unedited. So is it possible to have a private network across multiple Proxmox nodes without another physical NIC and an external switch?

    Multiple node networking

    Both nodes are connected to a switch via a single NIC. Both use vmbr0. The VMs are connected using vmbr5. Proxmox node 1 auto vmbr0 iface vmbr0 inet static address 172.20.21.229/24 gateway 172.20.21.1 bridge-ports enp1s0f0 bridge-stp off bridge-fd 0...

    Multiple node networking

    Maybe I'm thinking Proxmox SDN is capable of doing something it can't do. I need each VM (on different physical nodes) to be able to connect to each other through a common network. Each Proxmox node has vmb0 with it's own IP address (external). Each of the Proxmox nodes can talk to each other...

    Multiple node networking

    The VMs are on the vmbr5 network.
