    [SOLVED] Proxmox and pfSense

    I've spent almost an entire day with no progress so I thought I would try here. I have a VM in Proxmox VE 7.3-4 running pfSense 2.6.-RELEASE. That VM has two Linux Bridges assigned to it with the "WAN" being my regular network (192.168.1.0/24) and the LAN being a different bridge...

    Memory usage

    I am using ZFS so it's maybe the ZFS cache, but would it consume so much memory as to impact PVE? Seems like a real con to using ZFS...

    Memory usage

    I'm sure this has a simple answer but it escapes me. I noticed my VMs were running slow and partially unresponsive. Once I have all of the VMs stopped, the memory usage graph showed this: The PVE host has only been running 8 hours. Once I rebooted it and with no VMs running, I get this: How...

    [SOLVED] VM ID numbers

    Concerning the first answer, thank you. I will start using a a range of VM IDs for each PVE. Where do I see the namespace and how do I make it unique? All of my backups are stored under /mnt/datastore/1TB/vm with no differentiation between PVE hosts on the PBS server.

    Explanation needed for incremental backups and deduplication backups

    Since all of my backup files are the same size, can someone explain how this works or is implemented? Does it need to be enabled somewhere?

    [SOLVED] VM ID numbers

    Q1: I create/destroy a lot of VMs. Therefore I reuse the automatically created ID numbers. Since PBS uses the VM ID numbers to store the backups under /mnt/datastore/1TB/vm, will this confuse PBS considering it uses "incremental backups, deduplication" methods? Q2: If I have multiple PVE...

    There is supposed to be an "Advanced" checkbox but I don't see one. I'm using the root login.

    iSCSI with CHAP

    Enabling a single CHAP username and password/secret): https://castinganet.net/posts/Proxmox-iSCSI-Add/ I found one reference that says you can supply the username/password when you do Datacenter->Storage->Add->iSCSI but I do not have the fields for it.

    iSCSI with CHAP

    I am trying to get my Proxmox VE 7.3-4 setup with iSCSI and CHAP. (Without CHAP was easy.) I have multiple iSCSI shares with different CHAP username/password combos. I see whispers that this should be possible, but nothing for multiple username/password combos. Any one have any information?

    My Proxmox tips

    I have started posting information I have gathered about Proxmox. None of this information is overly unique but it is listed in a simple format that hopefully will help folks using Proxmox. Enjoy. https://castinganet.net/tags/proxmox/

    Proxmox, iSCSI and CHAP

    From what I am seeing, Proxmox cannot mount an iSCSI share if it uses CHAP. At least I do not see an option for it in the GUI. I have a mix of shares with CHAP and without CHAP. Is this true?

    NFSv4 based storage

    Simple question - Can Proxmox add NFSv4 storage under Datacenter, Storage, Add, NFS? I don't see anywhere to add username and password.

    Cloud-Init and setting hostname

    Using Virtual Environment 7.0-11 Trying cloud-Init functionality for the first time. Since we can set the IP address on the cloned VM, why can't we set the hostname on the cloned VM. Seems like an obvious setting to have. On my setup, it always has the hostname of the initial VM I setup. In...

    "Video mode not supported" when trying to install Proxmox on an HP Microserver

    I'm using PVE 6.3 on a Dell T3610 with a HDMI and DP PCI card. After you hit enter to install, the screen scrambles and the ULA screen comes up but I can only see the top left of the screen. Everything else is off the screen. Tried pressing enter and id did nothing. Made guesses by hitting tab...

    Adding and removing storage

    So if I add storage to a PVE server, you can not delete it from the GUI? I'm not afraid of the command line; I just want to make sure I'm not missing something in the GUI.

    Adding and removing storage

    Using PVE 6.2 I come from a VMware world where everything is done via the GUI and doing things from the command line is generally discouraged. However from what I have learned from testing PVE on my home lab, I am genuinely excited. Can someone confirm for me these general statements about...
