    Swaping my Passthrough target from VM to LXC

    Hi was able to passthrough my Quadro P400 GPU to a VM successfully doing the following in my Proxmox v7.1 host: # Add IOMMU Support nano /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet amd_iommu=on" update-grub # Load VFIO modules at boot nano /etc/modules vfio vfio_iommu_type1...

    [SOLVED] Lost Proxmox connection after editing a VM hardware

    Hi After having a working Proxmox 7.1 for more than a year, today I did something that disallow any connection to it (web and ssh) each time I reboot it. In that Proxmox I had several VMs and also a CT where I pass a DVB-S2 board to be used by Tvheadend. All was working great but I decides...

    Mount NFS share in a Proxmox host from self TrueNAS VM

    Hi It is possible to mount a NFS share in a Proxmox host from a TrueNAS VM running inside the same Proxmox? At the moment Proxmox boots the TrueNAS still does not exist so I can not do it then using fstab, but what about mounting the NFS share a few minutes later? For that I could start a little...

    [SOLVED] Create a "blank" VM or CT

    Hi This is probably a basic (or maybe dumb) question but... how can I create a "blank" VM or CT? Why do I need this? Imagine that I have the backups of my VMs (vzdump-qemu-1xx-....vma.lzo) or CTs (vzdump-lxc-1xx-....tar.lzo), and I want to restore them in a clean Proxmox installation. I can...

    TBS6909 on Proxmox

    I need to use a DVB-S2 card (TBS6909) on Proxmox. In fact all I need is to use a TVHeadend app to stream some satellite TV channels inside my network. It seems that the use in a VM is more tricky since it needs to be on a separate IOMMU group (someting that in my case does not happens as you...

    [SOLVED] TBS6909 driver compilation error

    Hi After setting up my Proxmox server I was trying now to install the driver for a PCIe DVB-S2 card (TBS6909 to be more precise). The idea is to use this card in a VM using PCI passthrough but from what I saw I need to install the driver in the Proxmox Host machine first, right? This was...
