    [SOLVED] Problem importing VMWare Win2012R2

    We have a customer with an old Windows 2012R2 server that they wish to move off a VMWare provider to Proxmox. We do not have access to get a VMWare backup so I am using Disk2VHD to make a snapshot copy of the disk over the network, and then import it into Proxmox as a SCSI drive. I am able to...

    Move VM's off dead cluster node

    Dumb question as I have never ran into this issue before (thankfully), but today I started getting a bunch of notifications that VM's were down and the proxmox hypervisor had locked up. Thankfully, just a reboot of the hypervisor brought everything back online. We have backups of all the VM's...

    Upgrade Clustered PMG 5 servers to 7

    I have a clustered pair of version 5 PMG's that up for license renewal. I've been debating whether it would be easier to update the version 5 servers to 7 using the existing licenses and also keeping live traffic running through them or if I should just purchase another set of licenses and start...

    Recover from stuck live migration

    I was in the process of migrating all VM's from a server running pve 7.1-11 to 7.1-12 so I could update it. It migrated several VM's and then stopped and the server turned to a grey question mark. It has been about a half hour and it doesn't appear like the migration is still progressing. All of...

    Removing NFS datastore from PVE 6

    I want to shutdown a shared NFS server that is setup in our PVE 6 cluster. I went to Datacenter -> Storage and Remove for the datastores that used that server. They all disappeared from the hosts in the GUI but when I do a df on the unix shell I see that NFS server is still mounted on all the...

    I have been wanting to build PBS server but have a few questions. I have about 80 TB of VM's to backup. I know SSD drives are the recommended drives to use in a PBS but SSD drives are extremely expensive at the moment. Does anyone have suggestions on good SSD drives for this type of use that...

    Building a separate ceph storage cluster

    We're evaluating different shared storage and we're contemplating using ceph. We've tried this in the past with a hyper- converged set up and it didn't go so well so we're wanting to build a separate ceph cluster to integrate with our proxmox cluster. We've read the benchmark document and have...

    Utilize existing storage servers with PBS

    For a long time we've been using TrueNAS and Synology NASes as NFS storage for our PVE systems and just doing a a vzdump to them for backups. We are interested in using PBS instead but I am curious if we can utilize our existing storage servers (TrueNAS/Synology) with PBS instead of building a...

    Remote Windows 2012 P2V Conversion

    I would like to convert a physical Windows 2012 R2 server to a KVM based VM. The difficult part is that the server is currently in a remote data center and I don't have local hands access to it.

    vzdump locking up to NFS share on 6.3-3

    I have a newly setup proxmox server and I am having issues where the vzdump process locks up connecting to the NFS after about 2% of the backup is complete. At this point the VM is locked up and I cannot kill the vzdump process. An entire reboot of proxmox is necessary to bring things back...

    Linode to Proxmox Migration

    I have a customer with a legacy application that is still running on CentOS 5.11. I have recommended we clone the VM and bring it in-house on Proxmox and put it behind a firewall to better protect it since CentOS 5 updates ended years ago. I have managed to boot the Linode in rescue mode and...
