Hi all, I would like to delete some unused VMs in PVE to free up some space. The VMs are all backed up using PBS. If I delete the VMs will the corresponding backups in PBS be destroyed? I've deleted VMs before but never had the desire to keep the backups around until now. Not sure exactly...

Hi all, I currently have 4x 1TB NVMe drives running as a stripped mirror for my VM disk storage. I am in the process of replacing them all for 2TB drives. I'm happy with using the zpool replace command. I have replaced two so far, the second one is just re-silvering now. I currently only have...

Hi all, I’m trying to figure out how I configure a dual SFP+ card in PVE. It’s an Intel X520-DA2. It shows up when running lspci. I’m unsure of the steps I need to take to get this working. I had a guess, and made some changes. Unfortunately it didnt go well and I broke my access to the web...

Hi all, I created my PVE scheduled backups yesterday on an SMB share on my TrueNAS. One of my VMs is TrueNAS. PVE ran through all the backups but the TrueNAS one failed. I guess this was to be expected but I didn't think of that at the time. Are there any tricks to make this work? I'm...

Hi all, One of the first things I did after setting up my PVE was creating a basic installation of Ubuntu Server, get it set up with all the basic bits, and then convert it to a template. I have cloned (full clone) this template a number of times and I did notice that each time I cloned it...

Hi all, I want to change the hostname of my PVE. It is already setup and running numerous VMs. I know I need to edit /etc/hostname and also /etc/hosts but from what I have read elsewhere on the forums and also online is that some directories also need to be moved for the VMs to continue...

Hi all, I am using PCIe passthrough to pass a SAS HBA through to a VM. I did this using the web interface in the hardware section for the VM. Everything was working fine until the other day when I had to power down the server. After it booted back up, the VM in question would no longer start...

Hi all, I'm going to be using 4x 1TB NVMe M.2 drives as my VM storage which I plan to run as a striped mirror. Currently, I only have two installed as I won't have the other two for a week or so. I'm eager to get going with the setup though. If I were to create ZFS mirror of the two installed...

Hi all, Is there something I need to do to make this card work with Proxmox? I have just flashed the firmware on the SAS card to the latest (16.00.10). It's running in IT mode. At the moment, I have inserted 8x SATA drives and if I boot into the SAS configuration utility it sees all the drives...

Hi all, I have a new Proxmox installation that I have setup. I have 2x 128GB Supermicro SATA DOM's that I used for the installation. My plan was to partition them each with a 60GB and 50GB partition. Install Proxmox on two 60GB partitions as a mirror for redundancy. Then with the two 50GB...

Hi all, I am new to the forum and Proxmox and looking for some advice. In general, what are people doing with the root user on the system? Generally, I would always create a new sudo user and then disable root login but I have read on a couple of Reddit forums that this can cause problems...
