    Windows VM locks up and unable to shutdown/restart

    Sorry - it's the official method but as I said, you should probably try to find the root cause of the issue. These are just work-arounds for now. And also remember the guest agent aspect as proxmox will try to use it if you have it enabled in the options.

    Windows VM locks up and unable to shutdown/restart

    You can also try qm unlock <vmid> just to remove the lock.

    Windows VM locks up and unable to shutdown/restart

    Some thoughts before someone more knowledgeable chimes in: 1. You have the guest agent enabled, so PVE will try to use the agent to stop/restart. If the agent isn't responding, pve currently doesn't fallback to ACPI (see bug 2534). And you can't disable the use of the agent while the vm is...

    Can I keep my 'data' volume when upgrading Proxmox?

    Not to jump in, but how come you are reinstalling pve instead of doing an in-place upgrade?

    Designing Ceph cluster

    I'm also not entirely sure what the question is but will try to give some general advice. 1. Hyperconverged means that both compute and storage nodes can exist together, so yes you can add compute nodes to the storage to the ceph cluster. In fact, ceph like many nodes and many disks. In other...

    [SOLVED] PCI passthrough device is visible in one vm but not another

    That was it - thank you very much! I just used Q35 to match the other machine and enable PCI express, but changing to i440fx allowed freeBSD to see the pci device. Note, the pci passthrough device has to be changed disable PCI-e before changing the machine type. If not, the vm doesn't start and...

    [SOLVED] PCI passthrough device is visible in one vm but not another

    I have a proxmox installation running sophos UTM using pci(e) passthrough for one of the two nics, the other nic is connected to vmbr0 and connected that way to the vm. It works without a problem and I can prevent proxmox from being exposed directly to the external network. I wanted to try...

    Basic ZFS vs Ceph Question

    This is a complicated question - but for writing, yes, in essence you don't want the client (the VM) to think the data is written until all the replicas have been written to disk. But it depends on the cache policy of the client (send it and forget it - or - wait until io system has fully...

    How can I create a CT with a downloaded .iso file?

    If you want to create a CT, go to the storage area, select templates and download the turnkey zoneminder template there. Then it will be available in the template section of create CT. Or, create a VM using an ISO downloaded to the correct location.

    [SOLVED] PCIe passthrough works with one vm, fails on another

    Got it working! Added "hugepagez=1G default_hugepagesz=2M" to grub and "hugepages: 2" to the vm config file and now it starts! As I'm writing this, I see my typo (hugepagez) but it still worked..

    [SOLVED] PCIe passthrough works with one vm, fails on another

    Before I start messing too much with the boot parameters, are there any documentation about hugepages best practices and settings?

    [SOLVED] PCIe passthrough works with one vm, fails on another

    That's the complete task log in the Task viewer for the start job. The status tab show the duration to be 31s so it being a time-out seems reasonable. The rbd image merging didn't help, as you wrote it was probably a red herring. I actually had it at 16GB before and increased it to 24GB, but...

    [SOLVED] PCIe passthrough works with one vm, fails on another

    I can, but they are on a disconnected network so a bit difficult. This are the diff rows: 602 702 balloon: 2048 balloon: 16384 hostpci0: 37:00,pcie=1 NA ide2: cephfs an installer cd ide2: cephfs another installer cd memory: 8192 memory: 24576 name: name1 name: name2 net0...

    [SOLVED] PCIe passthrough works with one vm, fails on another

    Hi, It's probably something obvious but I'm stuck. I have a node with a pcie device available for passthrough (a sas adapter). The device has been attached to one vm, and I wanted to attach it to another vm instead. VM602 is switched off, the device is removed from the hardware configuration...

    [SOLVED] fio crashes on windows with virtio driver

    I'm so sorry, I've re-downloaded the file again and now it does work. Even though the same binary worked on bare metal and hyper-v machines, whatever corruption had happened crashed the app on two qemu machines. Very strange but problem is solved, thank you!

    [SOLVED] fio crashes on windows with virtio driver

    I tried (i) a new copy, (ii) installing it with the msi and (iii) running the exact same binary from the network share of the win10 client where it works. I've also installed a new win10 client on pve using i440fx, an ide disk, rtl8139 network device and the hdd is on local-lvm. I've copied...

    [SOLVED] fio crashes on windows with virtio driver

    I've now tried with the latest testing virtio (0.1.185) as well, same appcrash in the event log. The same fio binary works on a bare metal win10 machine as well as a windows server hyper-v virtual machine. I've now also tried booting the machine with the block device attached as IDE, SATA...

    [SOLVED] fio crashes on windows with virtio driver

    Hi, fio crashes even without any parameters (should show the help) I'm using the virtio-win-0.1.171.iso. The device manager says version 100.77.007.17100 from 2019-04-12

    Hi, I am trying to run fio [1] in a windows server 2019 guest with the redhat virtio scsi pass-through driver. As soon as I run fio.exe it crashes and the event logger says this: Windows cannot access the file for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection...
