    wait to start VM until storage available

    After booting a Proxmox node, a VM that was set to autostart failed to do so due to storage 'iscsi-storage' is not online As you can see from my great naming, the storage is an iSCSI disk image. Usually that storage is always available, unless I boot up the NAS with the iSCSI target at the same...

    kernel update (6.8.12-13) prints error message

    I got the following error message during today's apt-get dist-upgrade: E: bootctl is not available - make sure systemd-boot is installed As far as I remember this is the first time seeing this message during a kernel update. I haven't modified the system by uninstalling random packages, so I...

    Option to add folders to manage VMs

    I was wondering whether a feature request is possible or even feasible. I have a lot of VMs and I have noticed that managing them via the UI can become rather tedious. Thus it would be very useful to be able to create folders, in which I can put the VMs. The possibility to add tags was a step...

    [SOLVED] How to use "pct exec" ? It doesn't seem to work.

    I've been reading the documentation, but I don't get pct exec to work. The documentation seems a bit off as well. It says: pct exec <vmid> [<extra-args>] [OPTIONS] Hmm, so where is the command supposed to go? How does escaping|piping work? There are no examples whatsoever in the entire...

    Console does not work with macOS Sonoma

    I was able to get macOS Sonoma running in a VM, however for some reason when I open the console I can't do anything. No mouse or keyboard input work. It is not a showstopper, because I can use VNC or Screen Sharing to access the VM, but it's peculiar. It always worked with previous macOS...

    gotify notification

    It seems that Proxmox is sending all gotify notifications with priority 0. Is there any chance that you do not hardcode the priority as 0, but don't specify it all? In that case the default priority set for that app (and token) on the server is used. Only the test notification should be sent...

    [SOLVED] notification types?

    I was trying to setup a notification matcher, but got stopped in my tracks when setting up a match rule: Node type: Match field Field: type So... where do I find the value for type? In the documentation I was able to find 4 different event names. Are these the types? If not, how do I find...

    [SOLVED] export/import VM

    I have a fairly nice VM that I would like to share with someone, who is also running Proxmox. How can I export the VM (plus disk), so that they can import it on their Proxmox server? (same as cloud images in qcow2 or raw format, plus the VM meta data .conf file) Is there a way, or do I just...

    snapshot of VM by ignoring iSCSI

    Is there a way to tell Proxmox to ignore an attached iSCSI disk during a snapshot? I added a second disk, like so: scsi1: name:0.0.0.scsi-3600120516fb1dc8dbcfbd4334add3ed4,backup=0,cache=writeback,size=4T Since then I can't take any snapshots anymore. I do understand why that is, but here is an...

    txqueuelen on interfaces

    I know that I can set the txqueuelen for an interface via the ip command. But I do have a few questions with regards to bonding and/or the bridge adapter, and the interfaces that are created for every VM. Here is my /etc/network/interfaces (basically a VLAN aware bridge on a bonded interface)...

    [SOLVED] can't shutdown/stop VM

    I am running Virtual Environment 7.3-4. When I start a Linux VM and press ESC in the Grub menu, I can't shutdown the VM. I only see a spinner in the columns End Time and Status. It never times out. I waited for about 7 minutes. I can only kill the VM by going to the host and kill the kvm...

    [SOLVED] Datacenter Resources page shows wrong numbers

    The summary page on the datacenter folder show the wrongamount of storage: In reality these are the correct numbers (as shown in the only node I have under Disks/ZFS): First I thought that it might show the raw storage, but that's not it either. All of these pools are mirrored, so the raw...

    What is the max VM ID?

    I checked the documentation and searched the Net, but couldn't find an answer. What is the max value of a VM ID? In the man pages I could see that it is an integer: <vmid> <integer> (1 - N) Is it a 32-bit integer? Unsigned?. 64bit? Even if it's just a 32bit int, it would mean that N could...

    [SOLVED] apt autoremove - safe to use?

    I've read a few threads on this forum about removing old kernels. At one point the autoremove feature was mentioned, but in other threads it was suggested it was not safe to use. Another thread mention apt purge and update-grub. I couldn't find a definitive answer. # apt upgrade Reading package...

    VLAN 64 with bond0 for the Proxmox VE management IP with VLAN aware Linux bridge

    I've put my Proxmox machine in VLAN64 and the initial installation of Proxmox with just one interface was fine. I could reach the machine and VMs and also from a VM to my network worked without issues. Then I wanted to create a bond and a VLAN aware Linux bridge. Thus I activated LACP on my...

    Can't create another ZFS pool

    I've installed Proxmox 6.3 on 2 NVMEs with RAID 1 ZFS. There are also 2x 4TB hard disks in the machine, but I told the installer to exclude them. I wanted to use the hard disks in a ZFS RAID1 array to hold my VMs and ISO images (at least most of them with a few running of the NVME array). So...

    Proxmox doesn't like my HW raid

    I've just built a server for virtualization and tried to install Proxmox 6.2-1. However, I ran into a problem. AsusRock Taichi x399 2 Raid Arrays: RAID 1 (2x 1TB NVMe) RAID 1 (2x 4TB HDD) During install, Proxmox (Version: 6.2-1) gives me the option to install to either of the NVMes. I'm...
