If I remember correctly what I did was creating an empty new raw VD in my VM (capacity @ least same as your VMware client disk capacity). Then 'detatch' disk and do a qemu-import showing vmid/vm_virtual_disk_name as destination raw. Can't remember the exact syntax on that...

I think u can just set up a shared folder on your Windows PC with VM disk image in it, mount your share in Proxmox, then just use: qemu-img convert command: I was converting Windows HyperV VM directly from NFS share like this: qemu-img convert -f vhdx -O raw srv1.vhdx srv2.raw

Depending on your RAID controller 'class' either you choose to use controller-based RAID or ZFS based software RAID. If your controller is a cheap one with no cache, battery support etc. most likely it's just a software raid (but with a separate BIOS management). ZFS 'desires' direct access to...

Hi there. I'm doing some maintenance on a desktop based 'server' used as SQL database host for ca 5 LAN users. It was running bios-software RAID1 on 2x Samsung EVO 250GB SATA SSD's. I know that those are NOT server grade but what can you do :/ 3rd drive is a regular 3,5" 1TB SATA for backups...

Hi there. I have 2 identical servers to virtualize. (1x Xeon E5-2620, 16GB RAM, 2xSSD 200GB + 2x900GB SAS). Each one of them is used for different purpose like some RDP or some relatively small SQL databases/apps (but same Win2008 R2 OS). I'm thinking of upgrading both to 32-64GB RAM, add 2nd...

Hi there. Quick question: I bough a "cheapo" 2nd hand ~20$ SAS/SATA controller (basically for practice/test purpose). Controller has default Dell Perc(non hba moded) BIOS. Now, I made a RAID1 VD using 2x500GB SATA drives. Volume is set as bootable etc. Thing is PM installer doesn't show the...

I'd like to squeeze SSD for ZFS cache. Thing is that despite having 5 SATA ports onboard power supply has literally NO additional plugs/molex connectors. The slim DVD drive uses slim-type sata power plug. BTW keep in mind it's a 1U server. RX100S7 was released in two-type disk layout: - 2x 3,5"...

Hi there. I decided to do some maintenance on clients 6-7 year old server. Obviously Fujitsu RX100 S7 is kinda poor in upgradeability so the only (low cost) thing to do was replacing old 500GB SATA drives with new 2x1TB Seagate EXOS SATA and upgrade RAM 4GB -> 16GB. Previous config was based on...

I've checked ZFS status (seems fine): # zpool list NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE EXPANDSZ FRAG CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALTROOT rpool 928G 184G 744G - 22% 19% 1.00x ONLINE - # zpool status pool: rpool state: ONLINE scan: scrub repaired 0B in 1h11m with 0 errors on Sun...

Hi there... I've installed Proxmox with ZFS on an old server (1x 4core cpu, 12GB RAM, 2x HDD SATA 1TB). I've installed OpenMediaVault on it as a single VM. Now after... lets say... 2 months I noticed some weired behavior in gui. Everything worked fine except missing icon in left panel...

Hello there... I have 3 VM's on DELL R710 with 2x 6core Xeon, 48GB RAM, RAID10 4x600GB SAS 15krpm on Perc H700 controller. 1. Win2003SRV 32bit (fixed 4GB assigned) 2. Win2016SRV Std x64 (fixed 8GB RAM assigned) 3. CentOS7 as MySQL database host (fixed 16GB RAM assigned) Now, after few days...

I guess I was thinking too much. It really works (at least on win2k8 R2). Thanks for the tip...:)

Howdy. I've successfully imported an Hyper-V vhdx drive to Proxmox vm using "qm import"... Newly created VM disk set as IDE controller boots VM os with no problems, but I wonder how to add other virtio/scsi drivers into VM os (win2k8r2, win2012, win2016), so I can use that disk in more efficient...

OK, I've made some progress setting up network. ENO1 is my main Proxmox interface now (with manual IP/netmask/gateway set). Next I've created 3 vmbrs (with single eno on each, IP/netmask/gateway blank), then attached each vmbr to single VM. Not sure if it's an optimal setup but seems to work...

Hi there. Since I'm using 3 VM's on a Proxmox I'm trying to use more than just one "vmbr'ed" ethernet device for network traffic. DELL R710 has 4x1 gigabit NICs. However PROXMOX shows them in a same PCIE group. So far forcing passthrough is a fail. # lspci | grep Ethernet 01:00.0 Ethernet...

Good call (I guess)... I've adjusted VM.conf file with: machine: q35 hostpci0: 02:00,pcie=1 Still same error, but then - adding: [root@TEST ~]# cat /sys/module/vfio_iommu_type1/parameters/allow_unsafe_interrupts Y ...allowed to successfully launch Win2016 VM... I saw two new NIC adapters on...

Hello there. I'm currently testing out virtualisation using PROXMOX on Dell R710 servers Config: CPU: 2x Xeon X5670 RAM: 32GB DDR3 ECC HDD/RAID: Perc H700 + 4x600GB SAS 2,5" (hardware RAID10) I've installed 2 test VMs (Win2003 Server and Windows 2016 Standard). Since server has 4x onboard...
