    [SOLVED] PERC H710 software that's compatible with Proxmox?

    I have a Dell T320 with a PERC H710 raid controller. Dell doesn't have anything listed on their site that's compatible with the Debian OS. What's the best way to keep track of the RAID's health?

    [SOLVED] Hardware suggestion request

    Found it. I have to edit the original message to find that option. I was looking for a button or tag on the page. I hadn't realized it was hidden as an edit.

    How do I mark it as solved? I don't see that option.

    Linux help. Why is my drive so small in Proxmox?

    I followed a step-by-step instruction I found online to format the drive, partition it, and mount it. Afterward I inserted the Proxmox VE ISO drive into the DVD drive and booted up the machine. Obviously I did something wrong. How hard is it going to be to try again without needing to...

    Linux help. Why is my drive so small in Proxmox?

    I'm a Windows guy (but I'm getting over it every day). I have a Proxmox box 6.1-3 with a RAID drive and a SATA drive. My plan is just to use the SATA to store ISO images and intra-day backups of a couple VMs. The SATA is only a 1.8GB drive. However Proxmox says the SATA drive is only...

    Windows - cores - and licenses

    Thank you. I did see the discussion regarding Microsoft's licensing debate. Ugg. I saw posts that gave a conflicting info on the cores. One in particular said I needed to leave 1 core for Proxmox and then could divide the remaining cores over various Windows VMs but I couldn't go over the...

    Hardware suggestions for new Proxmox build

    Only 37 seconds into the video and it's already not matching up. The options in the video do not match the options in version 6.1-3. As an expert you say 'well it's close enough I can figure out what it should be" but as a newbie I go "this doesn't match my screen already so the rest of the...

    Hardware suggestions for new Proxmox build

    OK, I've been playing with this some more, and I reinstalled it yet again. I did miss the screen where you can change the drive. But I don't think it mattered as the default is the RAID drive after all. Not sure why Proxmox showed it as 0% used and the non-RAID as .6% used but whatever. It is...

    Windows - cores - and licenses

    My head is swimming as I'm trying to figure out how to build this system. I'm hoping to build a system with two Windows Server 2019 VMs on it with heavy workloads, and one with SQL loaded as well. And a third Windows 10 Professional VM on the same machine. My single 3440 2.4Ghz processor has...

    Hardware suggestions for new Proxmox build

    I added a non-raid HDD to the system in addition to the RAID drives. I planned to use the non-raid for mid-day backups as it should be faster than network backups. I then installed Proxmox using the ISO and it seemed to work fine. However... I'm not 100% sure, but I think everything...

    Hardware suggestions for new Proxmox build

    Yes. That's what I'm currently doing as well with Windows Server 2008R2 and plan to do with the new one. You're right, it saves a lot of database corruption plus I can use much slower computers for the terminals that way. It does suck that I need to buy more licenses but it's the lessor of the...

    Hardware suggestions for new Proxmox build

    Some of the hardware has been ordered and should be delivered early next week. I think I need to order one more HDD for an internal backup location for Proxmox to use so that mid-day backups aren't slowed by my network. I'm not set up for Jumbo frames anywhere. What I have coming is: Dell...

    Hardware suggestions for new Proxmox build

    My plan is to have one machine with three or four Windows VMs on it. I won't have any replication or fault tolerance because of my tight budget. Instead I'll back up the VMs to NAS drives a couple of times a day and maybe a non-raid local drive on the Proxmox as well (because it's faster than...

    Multiple Windows Server machine on same machine

    Thank you. The new hardware should be here next week. I'll have a chance to do the install and upload the ISOs at that time. Hopefully I won't have to delete it all and start over too many times before I figure it out. While I've been running Proxmox for several years now, I had help setting it...

    Multiple Windows Server machine on same machine

    Do I need anything special when running multiple Windows Server VMs on Proxmox? In the back of my mind I'm thinking there was something I needed to add or change when I installed my Windows 2008R2 servers years ago because of the virtual environment but it's been too long ago for me to...

    Hardware suggestions for new Proxmox build

    Is there anyone in the USA? We're a tiny company (2 of us). I suspect shipping overseas is going to be pretty expensive for our small operation.

    Hardware suggestions for new Proxmox build

    I'm looking for suggestions. I need to build a new server. It will host a few VMs which will all be Windows servers, maybe as many as four of them. One will be Quickbooks Enterprise, one will be a web server (mostly hosting images as we use a hosted e-commerce solution but pull images from...

    [SOLVED] Hardware suggestion request

    I have a server running three VMs, two of which a pretty heavy requirement (accounting, and email server). They're running on Proxmox 3.4-16. It's time for me to upgrade the physical server as well as Proxmox of course. I need to do full builds because the servers are Windows Server 2008 R2...

    Upgrade path for 3.2-4 system?

    I'm only running VMs. Someone shot our cable coming into the building so I wasn't able to get anything done this weekend but I'll work on it one evening this week and get it to a current release. Thank you SO MUCH for your help the other night.
