    Create Storage Failed -- 500 Can't Connect

    Not that I can see. The firewall, opnsense shows the external WAN tcp connection in the log and port 8007 forwarded to the pbs server as OK. Nothing in PBS syslog to show a connection. I resorted to downloading a backup dump instead. My connections to pbs on local network are OK.

    Create Storage Failed -- 500 Can't Connect

    I have the same problem. Cant add new storage and on PBS the syslog no error. PVE is trying to connect nothing in pbs syslog. On PVE the syslog error is "Mar 28 15:05:39 pve pvestatd[1787]: pbs: error fetching datastores - 500 Can't connect to xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8007 (Connection timed out)"

    Slow Snapshots?

    I had this problem. Snapshots particularly for windows VM are much faster if you switch the storage from qcow2 to lvm thin. Restoring a snapshot even after minor changes would take 10 mins now its seconds.

The create a vm with same number of nic, ram and use sata as the hard disk otherwise you might get activation message. Choose host as cpu. Easier if you have 2 video card pass one...

    Issues importing qcow2

    rather than import do this. 1. Create an empty qcow2 for your target virtual machine ie 170 . This will appear in /mnt/pve/dev-sdb/images/170/vm-170-disk-0.qcow2 where dev-sdb is name of storage. 2.Use winscp and upload your qcow2 file to same directory. 3. delete the original and rename your...

    Windows Guest qcow2 rollback very slow

    I switched to lvmthin from qcow2 and the rollback is almost instant which is great for testing. However when the win 10 guest starts I always get the chkdsk message and if dont catch in time it checks the disk and just as slow. Ditn get that with qcow2. Ive diabled via chkntfs /x C: for now if...

    Fileserver with backup

    I run pbs on an old PC. Starts and stops twice a day for 30 mins and run backup tasks inc a fileserver guest . if you have linux fileserver vm the pbs backups are de-duped and very fast. Windows server backups are larger. Great thing is the individual file restore feature. Once host backup...

    Solved - Single RX570 GPU passthrough

    I passthrough my 2 nvidia gt730 cards to osx without any issues. I think the problem is the bios should be set to use the onboard graphics otherwise proxmox host will use the off board card. Connect hdmi to onbaord and make sure you get the proxmox host. Then sort the pass through. I use a kvm...

    Host CPU & Windows activation

    To avoid the host activation do not change everything in one go. We have migrated a number of machines from physical and hyper V to proxmox. To avoid windows reactivation make sure you set the memory, NIC and the number of processes equal to the hyper V settings on first boot. Also use the SATA...

    What's the experience with using Proxmox as host for development workstations?

    No passthrough should be be way faster than RDP as its native. Any usb device will work if you passthrough the port. Yes I have a mic. Not tried webcam but dont see why not.

    What's the experience with using Proxmox as host for development workstations?

    I am in a similar position and virtualised both my Windows and Mac desktops a couple of months ago. I pass through 2 gpu and usb with a kvm inc hdmi switch. The win 10 and Mac guests are running on Nvme storage each with 16gb ram each. The server has dual 8 core xeon V1. The only issue is that...

I have virtualised my win 10 workstation from physical to proxmox guest with pci passthrough for usb and gpu. I also run Windows and Linux file servers and opnsense as guests on same host which is...
