I've created a LibreELEC 12 VM, based on an image suitable for Intel N150 graphics and written a howto here: https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/29811-x86-64-le-12-as-a-proxmox-vm-with-gpu-pass-through/ Using GPU passthrough I watch Kodi on my television. It works perfectly, until it doesn't...

Got this mini PC, which comes with an intel 2.5Gbps LAN NIC. After noting slow downloads to it, I've found that the interface is locked at 100Mbps, Any idea why? # ethtool enp3s0 Settings for enp3s0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full...

Years ago one could create Linux VMs specifying a dynamic memory allocation (ie with a minimum memory setting different from the normal one). This did not work well on Windows VMs. Has this been rectified in recent PVE versions?

I'm setting up a Windows Server 2022 VM and noticed these flags. My PVE node is single -> not a part of a cluster, therefore no need to migrate etc. Processor is an Intel Xeon 4208 (IIRC). From the looks of it, the flags exist to mitigate various CPU-level attacks. Assuming that nothing as such...

I'm setting up NUT for the first time on a PVE host. This will be a NUT client (in this case connected to a Synology NAS that operates as a NUT server). There's a section that entails to what should be done when the system should go down. At the moment this is simply a /sbin/shutdown -h +0...

Got a host running PVE 8.2, that has a single NIC, eno0. A vmbr0 is also connected. The interface is physically connected to a switch port that is configured to carry LAN untagged traffic, as well as DMZ (vlan id = 100) and WAN (vlan id = 200) VLAN'ed traffic. Now, some VMs on my host should...

Hello, back in the day I used to utilize LVM for storage. A couple of PVE hosts I've setup were nothing special regarding their hardware and articles regarding file system format seemed to advise using LVM for a variety of reasons. Now I've got a one year old Proliant DL360 Gen 10 with two...

Some years ago I was able to make a couple of proxmox installations without any licensing. At the time that meant that my installations did not have access to the enterprise proxmox repositories, advertised as thoroughly tested. Is it still possible today? Asking here because I see there is a...

Hello all, I've got a VM running on LVM storage. The storage is /dev/vmstorage/vm-102-disk-0. I want to convert this to vmdk for import to an ESXi 7.0U1 host. What/which commands can I use to get this done as fast as possible? The VM is down, so there is no issue copying storage to vmdk...

Hello, I'm using the free version of PVE for some time now on a single node. Our network addressing changed recently so I had to change its ip address. I did so from the network interface. That happened about a week ago. Today I had a VM that did not respond even though the web interface of...

I've created an LXC container based on the CentOS image. It seems as though sshd is not running. Running service sshd start throws an error: # service sshd start Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start sshd.service Failed to start sshd.service: Unit not found. Is there a package I should install...

Hello, running 6.2 here. I have to install a Flexlm license server to handle a couple of Autocad network (floating) licenses. Obviously this is not a tough job and flexlm does exist for Linux (AFAIK, see also https://www.plexim.com/dstlm ). Therefore I'd like to avoid using a full KVM for the...

Hello, today I've tried to do an upgrade on the my system and it produced the following error: # apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Error! Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that...

Some time ago I recall that ballooning on Windows guests was not recommended (bad performance IIRC, not sure). Has this problem been solved and if so, on which virtio / pve version(s)?

I've been running a Mikrotik CHR VM version 6.41.2 for some time now, only for the record of using the embedded TheDude network monitoring package. Since I've been having problems with shutting the VM down before taking a backup from PVE, I've been searching for a way to notify the VM. This was...

I've succesfully transferred Windows Server 2000-2003 systems in the past, that did not utilize UEFI for boot. Cloned them with VMWare vconverter standalone, transfer the vmdk resulting content to my PVE LVM-based storage and presto. Now, I'm facing a similar scenario, in which I've been given...

Hello, I've got a ready-to-use CentOS 7-based virtual appliance originally made for vmware and wanted to use it on PVE. It was quite easy to do so, just unpack the OVA, get the vmware disk images and dd them to my LVM partition, prepare a PVE guest for CentOS and then connect the LVM-based...

Hello, I've a got a Linux VM running as follows: balloon: 0 boot: cdn bootdisk: ide1 cores: 2 ide1: local:106/vm-106-disk-1.qcow2 ide2: local:iso/Hiren's.BootCD.15.2.iso,media=cdrom,size=609268K memory: 128 name: asystem net0: virtio=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX,bridge=vmbr0 numa: 0 ostype: l26 scsi0...

I'm considering using proxmox on 2-3 totally different sites. Details: These sites do not belong to the same organization, but management (including backup) has been delegated to a small (two person) firm. PVE boxes on each site are connected to the net using either ADSL or VDSL links...

This is driving me crazy. I have installed a new PVE installation (4.something). Simple stuff: single pve node (no cluster, nothing advanced) with a single XP VM. Details Host has a single eth0 network adapter. Host has as a single vmbr0 interface Host does not communicate with the internet...
