No switch between the two nodes. I was trying to establish a network connection between the two VMs internal to the Datacenter.

I have three Proxmox 8.1.4 nodes. I have one VM (VM1) on node 1 and one VM (VM2) on node 2. I need VM1 to talk to VM2. Each VM is using a network bridge called "vmbr5" defined at both node levels. Using the SDN functionality, I know using a "Simple" Zone is not the way to go. I am now trying...

Answered my own question... Yes. Works perfectly. Backed up a VM using NFS storage Deleted the entire VM Created a blank VM with the same VMID Restored the backup to that VMID Works.

I am planning a medium sized cluster. The VMs will all be stored on NFS storage. The backup files themselves will be stored on dedicated local storage. When PBS backs up a VM stored on NFS storage, does it back up the NFS storage for that VM? Just checking. Thanks. Dave

Frankly this US government agency is looking for alternatives to Red Hat OpenShift. Broadcom/VMware has taken themselves out of consideration. We're a Linux shop so Hyper-V is a no go. I've been using Proxmox for internal projects very successfully. But unfortunately there are many requirements...

The first hurdle is Proxmox the company is based out of Austria. Don't know what other hurdles remain. Looking for knowledge.

Is any one using Proxmox in a United States Federal program? Exploring options... Thanks.

I noticed that I can select Sapphire Rapids are a CPU type. Does this mean I can implement High and Low priority cores?

I am seeing the same issue on one of my VMs also. I am running 8.1.3. Any ideas?

Some thing have learned: At the DC level, and options, make sure Input and Output policies are both set to ACCEPT. Otherwise when you enable the firewall at the DC level, you will get locked out of the GUI. (I think) At the DC level enable the firewall, otherwise none of the firewall rules...

Proxmox 8.1.3 - So we have a firewall at the Datacenter, Node and VM level. I want to add a rule so that all VMs cannot access a computer (not on Proxmox) on a specific IP addresses. Do I need to add the DROP rule on each VM or can I put one DROP rule at the Node level? On a firewall rule, if I...

I didn't have this issue with PVE 7.X. How do I start/config QEMU monitor?

When I select a VM and the Monitor option, all I see is "Type 'help' for help." Anyone seen this before?

If you move the storage, it will recover the space.

The qcow2 file does grow! Does not seem to shrink by itself.

So if the snapshots are stored in the qcow2 file, if I go crazy and create 100 snapshots (assuming lots of file activity in the OS), will the snapshots eventually fill up the qcow2 file and crash the OS? Or will the qcow2 file grow in size?

Thank you for this information. Another question: Are the snapshots stored in the qcow2 file? Where are they stored? I'm using a NFS storage.

Yes, I know snapshots are not backups...:) In VSphere/ESXi, snapshots continue to grow as more and most data is changes since the last snapshot. VMware documentations says to not keep snapshots around for more than 3-5 days. If you go too long, coalescing (merging) the snapshot into the...

I should have explained this is not a production system, but in my homelab which I use test how things work and to learn. The 1 TB backup disk is a virtual disk hosted on on an NFS share on a separate TrueNAS box. What I have learned so far: PBS will try to back all virtual disks up...

I have PBS as a VM in my PVE cluster. The PBS VM has two drives: One for the OS and one for the the backups. When I define the backup schedule, I exclude the PBS VM itself so it does not try to backup the backup files, creating a loop. Is this necessary? It there a better way to do this?
