    Linux VM not possible to power off

    I habitually type shutdown -hP now, but now that I check on a current Debian installation, I see that --poweroff is the default. I don't type extra letters because they come for free, I recall there being a different default previously that necessitated the -hP options. What is the default...

    Linux VM not possible to power off

    Hi Mrt12, I expect this database not only takes long to backup, but also ages to shut down (depending on usage and storage speed). Seeing you do have backups, would it be an option to decouple this database from the rest of the system, and import it into another container that you can...

    high performance high availabilty advice needed

    Hi tenfoldinaus, While your splashing on hardware, I have some more useless advice: invest in a keyboard with a working "shift" and "point" key, besides caps lock and comma. It will you when you try to write your story, and give people who might help you the idea that you take them serious.

    Windows KVM IO freezing

    I have no idea :-( If it were my environment, I'd like to know the cause, but without any progress and seeing the other VMs don't have this problem, I'd rebuild a new instance of the machine. Maybe another visitor has a suggestion!

    Windows KVM IO freezing

    With machine, do you mean only a single VM (what I understood) or a single PVE installation out of many? What do you mean with that? Something like, "According to Windows, there is nothing to write to disk"?

    I have a bridge configured and working, it's just no faster than the 1gig NIC?

    Hi RobGranger, Is that a statement or a question? :-P You posted enough data, but missing a helping hand in what you want to show, I only noticed this bit: Did you put the asterixes there to attract our attention, or is that part of the output? Anyway, with that configuration I would be...

    Windows KVM IO freezing

    Hi galileon, Welcome to the forums! Is it always the same machine, or if not, always the same set of machines? If so, is there a (shared) piece of software/service that has different characteristics from the other machines?

    Hanging at "loading initial ramdisk"

    Hi comi, Welcome to the forums! is a very short description of your reason to post :-) Do you mean that you also have trouble with reliability of your power grid? You can open new threads for free ;-) So if your problem is not the same, you could try starting a new thread (with some more...

    Problem with VM installation

    Could you try removing the CD player? I added a CD player once, without any media, and the BIOS would not offer me a boot option for the hard disk anymore: only 'default' (which did not boot), 'CD' and 'network'. I don't know how to enter the (virtual) BIOS and change its settings, so I...

    Problem with VM installation

    Hi TheRocky, Welcome to the forums! My first thought when starting to read your story, I wondered "Would a container not solve the problem?", which apparently you already tried. Out of interest, what makes you prefer a VM over of a container? To get help on the VM-problem, make it easy for...

    [SOLVED] Please assist on correct process for adding LVM in 4 node cluster using SAN

    Hi unassassinable, Storage added on one node will become visible on the other nodes. Please refer to alexskysilk's post for advice ; the result for storage in the threeview of my cluster is as follows: All my storage has unique names (except for 'local'), so you'll notice that the same...

    Inconsistencies with VM console connections.

    Hi Tim Ryan, That looks like SSH dropping an incoming connection. Stackexchange got a thread discussing some possible causes, troubleshoots and workarounds. Were the servers 1-5 upgraded from PVE 7 (or earlier), with perhaps an other default algorithm for key generation?

    Problem with Free BSD VMs on latest Version of Proxmox 8.0.4

    Edit: I was on the wrong page of the thread when I added the configuration details for the working VM. Great that the culprit is found and the problem is in the process of being solved!

    Sick of VMware, questions about setting up HA on Proxmox

    "Yes", on both counts, I'd say. Apart from writing down the serial and the location, you could might label the disks physically and write down the label info together with the serial and location; You can see the info of the drives in the web interface, see attached screenshot; double click...

    Problem with Free BSD VMs on latest Version of Proxmox 8.0.4

    I restored my OPNsense backup to an up-to-date PVE node and updated OPNsense to the latest version (23.7.8_1). It boots with no problem. What can we compare to find the culprit on your systems, or the omission on my system? I'll be out most of the day, perhaps tonight I can chime in.

    Problem with Free BSD VMs on latest Version of Proxmox 8.0.4

    That would match my OPNsense having no problem, as it is on FreeBSD 13.2... (with OPNsense 23.7.7...) Welcome to the forums, by the way! :)

    Unstall Proxmox

    Especially in this case, as Proxmox is Debian. In case you are happy with the partitioning of your disks, you can remove Proxmox by $ sudo apt remove proxmox-ve Depending on where you'd like to go from here, you can install the other packages you need.

    Problem with Free BSD VMs on latest Version of Proxmox 8.0.4

    It seems to happen more to BSD in the wild. For Proxmox 8.0.4 and OPNSense in particular:don't set CD to IDE: https://www.reddit.com/r/OPNsenseFirewall/comments/17xm5eo/comment/k9obs6l/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
