Hi, I believe that attaching an empty drive (not changing boot drive) causes the BSOD. I will double check with client. I agree that that is cleanest way to get the virtio driver integrated. In theory the virtio driver is already present and working / as per my description, I also agree, my...

Hi, I have a client asking me for clarification on this topic, and I am not quite sure. Best practice guide in proxmox docs https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_10_guest_best_practices suggests we should use ""SCSI" as bus with "VirtIO SCSI" as controller." My normal routine in past was to...

Thanks for added detail! In this case the client is the sort who prefer to pay for extended warranty and 3-hour onsite service from dell. ie, they are not the kind who will ever 'attach disks to a different box that is not precisely the same as the original make-model of the original box'...

Hi Aaron! Thanks for this reply. This all sounds good. Kind of about what I had thought might be the case, more or less, based on reading I've done so far. I'm pretty sure for this deployment a 2-node and ZFS @ 1minute replication might be simpler / with 3rd vote on PBS box. I must admit I am...

Hi, I am hoping to just make a sanity check for guidance to see if I'm overlooking something. Feedback is greatly appreciated! I'm hoping to setup a modest size cluster for a client, project is ramping up with 'fairly modest' requirements and hopes the business will grow and it needs to scale...

In case anyone gets here from google searches by keyword, etc. I think I found solution to problem. I waited for a time when I could get remote access and power off all VMs hosted on this promox box, then powered then on one-at-a-time. Monitored system logs. It was quite clear that the strange...

Hi, I've got a Proxmox host which has a strange problem, I noted it yesterday, and it is not cleared up after a reboot this morning. Strictly speaking I have no idea if this is a (proxmox issue) or (debian / linux) issue per se. But in case someone has seen it I thought I would post here...

I will update the thread next time I setup another host like the other ones I had issues with. I think? they were all setup when PBS was in beta(ie, early December / November approx ) so maybe things are changed since that earlier release. Anyhoo. I appreciate the other tests and feeback...

not quite certain what you mean. But after I've done my custom kludge - network is alive - and if I reboot the PBS host, it reboots smoothly and network is alive after reboot. In contrast if I did not make the custom kludge config adjust, and simply attempted to do (approximately) - install...

Yes, I agree entirely, I think it is a combination of PBS install on top of debian via APT / and some unwanted interaction that happens when ifupdown2 gets added into mix. I'm not even convinced that ifupdown2 is 'really mandatory' so much as 'nicer in theory'. ie, my semi-insane manual...

Hi, for what it is worth. I have been using PBS with ~5 small client deployments in the last few months. Generally speaking once I get past any 'installer time' hiccough, there is zero problem. I don't 'lose access' and it does not 'misbehave' once it is installed-and-working-smoothly. I...

Thanks for the quick, clear, detailed reply. Greatly appreciated. I do appreciate onsite vs offsite will have impact on the recovery/data transit times. In this use case we don't have any desire for a 'cluster' proxmox to span (onsite box/es) (and offsite). Rather the offsite is being...

Hi, I have a "small fun" question I am trying to understand. I've reviewed the docs and I am a bit unclear so wanted to ask. So far I have Proxmox Backup Server Setup a few times now and working very nicely in simple use case, ie, one proxmox host one PBS server weekly incremental backups from...

Hi, I would suggest, provision a new clean LXC Container from a vanilla / stock template. See if problem persists there. Try to isolate issues / make a positive vs negative control / see if problem appears to be at proxmox level vs guest level. etc. just a thought. is what I would try next..

Hi, if the containers are LXC based in stock config, they will have a MAC address, which should be visible if you drill into the 'networking' category of the LXC Container of the webUI. I believe the default behaviour is that restore-from-backup will NOT change the MAC address / randomize to...

Footnote on this thread, I poked at it again today and appear to have found a bit of a workaround, it feels like a kludge but anyhow, alive and working is better than not-alive-and-not-working, at least for now. basic endgame. start with clean deb10 VM provided from hosting provider get vnc...

Footnote, I banged my head against this for a while this morning, reinstalled my VM and started over a few times. First pass I noted my debian sources file lacked the 'contrib' stanza on each line; so I added that. (which is recommended in the PBS install hints). Did not change anything. I...

Hi, the VM has static assigned IP in most recent case. I think the physical box I was setting up a few weeks ago was DHCP.

Hi, I wanted to post on this thread because it seems directly relevant. I've setup ~3 x PBS servers in the last 2 months and I think I am seeing the same problem. General trend: - one case it was a dedicated physical host, debian10 minimal install on SW Raid / local mirror of 2 x 6tb drives...

Sorry, not to be too pointed, but .. for clarity. my point is that if you are a newbie, you don't want a system that is too complex to manage yourself so you would be better off building a solution you can manage so for similar reason proxmox authors do not have an easy way to install...
