    [SOLVED] P2V Win Server 2003 STOP error 0x0000007b (mergeide.reg)

    it may be the final piece of puzzle is to use DISKPART to verify partiton is active. diskpart select disk 0 select parition 1 active exit I just did this, and it WORKED --- but, curiously, the partition was already *ACTIVE. So who knows. It's a win. I'll take it.

    [SOLVED] P2V Win Server 2003 STOP error 0x0000007b (mergeide.reg)

    Nope.... I'm wrong. I was unable to reproduce this "success". Not sure what the combination was to get it to work, but it happened after I ran fix_hdc. first I ran fix hdc as ide presented by the vm - - tried and BSOD then I ran fix hdc as sata presented by the vm - tried and it worked...

    [SOLVED] P2V Win Server 2003 STOP error 0x0000007b (mergeide.reg)

    [SOLVED] P2V Win Server 2003 STOP error 0x0000007b (mergeide.reg)

    WOW! Finally got it!.... So I switched my proxmox drive back to SATA MODE. Then I ran hirens (15.x) fix HDC again --- it recognized my new virtual controller. So it copied over iastor6.sys .... And finally booted!

    How / where is VM configuration stored? (for disaster recovery, loss of rpool, etc.)

    Great! I We are using the backup tool (vzdump files) but have only tried to recover to the the same/existing VM. Good to know it has what is needed within. I'll try to restore one of these to a different PVE server to see what it looks like. Thanks!

    How / where is VM configuration stored? (for disaster recovery, loss of rpool, etc.)

    Assumming these hypothetical circumstances: - Standalone PVE server (no HA/cluster) - rpool crashed, server won't boot, PVE can't launch. - Must build new standalone PVE from scratch - Have recent full backups of each VM hosted on the failed PVE I assuming one will be missing (and requiring)...

    Chelsio T420-CR cxgb4 not loading "firmware on card (1.19.10) is older than..."

    So for anyone that finds this later on.... CHELSIO T420-CR (and I assume entire T4, T5, T6 series associated w/this driver set) seems to work OOB with PVE 6.x Once I assigned the NIC to a new vmbr# in proxmox, and rebooted the system, I was able to get link.

    Chelsio T420-CR cxgb4 not loading "firmware on card (1.19.10) is older than..."

    I'm using a direct fiber optic cable between PVE and switch port, but not getting link: TX -> RX RX -> TX I've tried swapping the cable TX/RX around just in case, but no change. Reminds me of the "allow_unsupported_sfp" issue with Intel 10GBE and "unsupported" SFP+ modules but I am not...

    What NICs 10Gb are compatible with Proxmox VE? and related matters

    **WARNING** to future low budget 10GBE NIC purchasers.... Chelsio T420-CR does not work OOB here with PVE 6.x. If you're finding these old threads, be sure to research well before you buy. This was incorrect. The Chelsio T420-CR (and likely T5xx and T6xx from same driver series) did work...

    Chelsio T420-CR cxgb4 not loading "firmware on card (1.19.10) is older than..."

    Any ideas here? We bought a few of these cards because they were low cost and could be used OOB with FreeBSD, but apparently with Proxmox they may not OOB ready These Chelsio's CXGBE seems like it should be supported: https://manpages.debian.org/buster/freebsd-manpages/cxgbe.4freebsd.en.html...

    Chelsio T420-CR cxgb4 not loading "firmware on card (1.19.10) is older than..."

    I am seeing the message in startup: This would lead you to believe it is updating the firmware on the card right? Unfortunately no other messages for cxgb4 and I do not see them as interfaces in the system.

    Best method to share ZFS / ZVOL from one PVE to a Windows server VM on different standalone PVE?

    Hi Bill, Based on you reply I dug around a little more. I don't think shareiscsi is built into the ZFS used by proxmox unfortunately. Properties that allow you to set 'sharenfs' and 'sharesmb' exist though. I've checked in both PVE 5.4-3 and 6.x. I'll try to work through the german doc...

    How to share zfs zpool/datasets from PVE to external standalone 1:1 app servers?

    Thanks! Well... so far I've got the Debian 10 LXC in PVE set up and Samba installed on it. Now I just need to figure out how to "use mount points for your data inside of your container".
