I have some servers planned for shutdown. Meanwhile, i have to migrate some VMs from pve-manager/6.4-4/337d6701 TO pve-manager/5.2-2/b1d1c7f4 They are not in cluster (but are on the same network). I can shutdown the VM. Which is the best way to move from these 2 servers ?

Hi, I need to export some VMs (qemu with zfs) to Google Compute Engine. Do you know if this is possible in some way or should I move the VM content to a brand new created on GCE ?

As subject, any idea how to export a running VM with ZFS storage to an OVA/OVF file ?

Which is the best method (I can poweroff the VM) to migrate a VM from 2 standalone (not in a cluster) PVE hosts ? Both hosts are on the same network. There is also a way to livemigrate ?

I'm experiencing a strange issue. A working machine , suddenly loose the LVM metadata (on random disks, not always the same). In example: I properly boot the machine, I use it, then reboot and 1 LVM PV metadata is lost. I have to recreate the metadata on disk recovering the LVM configuration...

Hi guys, I have a PVE node with these VM running on it: So, there are 2+2+1+16GB allocated. Total 21GB But why here I can see 51.96GB used ?

Ok, i've forgot to install grub on a PV machine coming from XenServer. For strange reason (not really strange, XenServer is garbage) , i'm unable to reboot the VM on the old host and I have a fully migrated VM on PVE that doesn't boot because there isn't grub installed (I think, I'm getting...

Ciao, this is the situation: multiple VMs migrated from XenServer to PVE, each one with their original disks (i've done an automated migration script that will move virtual disks from XS to PVE). Almost all of these server has multiple disks connected with A LOT of wasted space. In example...

Hi. after a proxmox hard crash (still I don't know why) , all VMs are up and running properly except one (debian, like all others). Boot process is stuck at this: i've reboot the VM with a debian rescue disk, mounted everything, run fsck on everything and no errors were found. Also, from the...

Sorry for the OT but I don't know where to ask. I have to move a bounch of VMs from XenServer to Proxmox, to do so automatically with a script made by me, I need to know the exact disks lists and sizes attached to the XS server, via http call. Reading the OVA.xml file (i can export the VM...

In every (linux) server I migrate from XenServer to PVE, i'll add virtio_blk and virtio_pci to initramfs and I'm using Virtio SCSI controller. For a very, very, very, very, very, very old server, (top performance is not a requirement) i have to migrate in the easiest way, so, if possible, to...

Hi to all. I'm moving a lot of VMs from XenServer to Proxmox. I did this more or less 90-100 times before with my conversion script, every time worked properly EXCEPT for 1 VM. On the machine i'll add virtio_pci and virtio_blk modules to initramfs , then I install grub (if not already...

In our XenServer (cursed the day i choose to use that rubbish) node, we backup (sometimes) VMs directly exporting them from a snapshot. It's pretty useful because a restore can be mede directly, without resyncing a lot (millions) of small files. In Google Cloud, we do the same by only using...

Hi. I have to add 4 new SSDs disks to an existing RAIDZ2 pool. I'm not an ZFS expert and I don't want to loose/reduce redundancy making mistakes. Is this the right command to use ? # zpool add -n rpool raidz2 pci-0000:03:00.0-sas-phy4-lun-0 pci-0000:03:00.0-sas-phy5-lun-0...

Hi to all. I have a 5.2 production server that i would like to upgrade to the latest version. Can I directly upgrade from the web interface ? Any additional steps? Should I upgrade to each version step-by-step or straight to the latest one ? I have to reduce downtime as much as possible. Just...

Hi to all Current env: PVE 5.2-2 with 4 SSDs in RAIDZ-2 I would like to increase the available space by adding 4 disks more. What do you suggest ? Creating a new standalone RAIDZ-2 pool or grow the existing one to a new RAIDZ2 ? Is this something I can do from the web interface ? If not, as...

I have the following: # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 63G 0 63G 0% /dev tmpfs 13G 1.1G 12G 9% /run rpool/ROOT/pve-1 357G 3.1G 354G 1% / tmpfs 63G 37M 63G 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 5.0M 0...

Is possible to have the upcoming roadmap updated? https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Roadmap#Roadmap

Stupid question, but I admit, I was never been able to measure IOPS and read/write throuhgput. I have a Xen node with 8x SAS 15k disks in hardware RAID-6 (512MB write cache) that I would like to replace with a Proxmox server. My idea is: can I replace this server with a new one by using ZFS...

I'm using ZFS. In storage node, on the web interce, I see "local-zfs" and "local". Both are created over the same ZFS raid because i don't have any extra disk installed. The current visualization is messy bacause is showing that "local" has 44used over 395GB and "local-zfs" is 428GB/780...
