Hi, I have PVE running side-by-side to my PBS, mostly for the parts of the GUI that is not implemented in PBS, like updates. And I have notifications enabled both in PVE and PBS. So now I'm getting notifications twice. Is it safe to disable notifications in either PVE or PBS? I wouldn't want...

Hi, I am experiencing issues with one of my VMs currently. For a reason not yet understood, it goes into 100% cpu load and the guest agent is shown as not active. Is it possible to have PVE notify me, if something like this (e.g. high/full CPU_ load, guest agent down, oom, ...) happens in a...

Hi, so I have a small home lab cluster of 3 PVE nodes and one additional PBS. And I have the following networks (each on separate NICs/cables/switches): - Management - Corosync - Ceph - Backup The PVE nodes are connected to all networks. The PBS in only connected to Management and Backup...

Hi, first of all: Thank you very much for PBS (and PVE). It is such a great piece of software. Currently, I can search the backups on PBS by selecting the VM and then an individual backup by date. There, I can dive into the file system and retrieve a file. Sometimes, I would like to first...

So I have been running a PBS to complement my home lab PVE cluster for a while now and everything works beautifully. And yet I am not fully happy because if my (management) network ever were breached and my VMs compromised, the next steps for an attacker would be to go after my backups. And if...

So I have PBS running to backup my home lab cluster. And it is working fine and I backup everything there and from there on tape as well. As data protection is becoming more and more important, I am wondering whether there is a way to selectively remove individual files or folders from not just...

Hi, I am getting SMART error notifications from PVE every day about the same one error (there is 1 unreadable sector on one of the SSDs). While I appreciate the notification in principle, I don't need to be reminded of the error every day. And if nothing changes, I think I can live with that...

Hi, I have a small three node cluster. There are two pools with three OSDs each. Each node hosts one OSD from each pool (one HDD, one SSD). Replication rule is 3/2. When one of the OSDs in one of the nodes started acting up, I decided to not just replace the OSD but to also replace the entire...

Not sure whether this is a config or a networking issue... I tried to connect to the shell via the GUI. It said connecting and then "Connection failed (Code: 1005)" Background: This works perfectly fine when I access the GUI directly locally. But when I access the GUI remotely via...

Hi, So I installed Windows into a VM with UEFI - because I thought this would be overall "better". Now I found out that with UEFI, I can't switch the VM's screen resolution inside the VM but have to do that in the UEFI at boot time (for the next boot) - at least for VNC purposes. That is...

Hi, I have a PBS running for a while (two years?) now with apporx. 25TB worth of storage. Regularly, I check how much space is left / when the datastore is going to be full. A couple of days ago, it said that it was running full in a bit of 50 days. So I decided to make room and so I combed...

Hi, I have a three node cluster in my home lab that was running on PVE 8.1.5. Now I upgraded the first node to 8.2.2 and, after rebooting, it doesn't connect to the cluster anymore. The remaining cluster can't see the upgraded node and the upgraded node can't see the remaining cluster. Did...

Hi, I have a small home lab cluster with 3 PVE nodes each of which also serves as a Ceph node. For each, cluster sync and ceph, there is a dedicated 10gbe network (and then there is another dedicated 10gbe network to a PBS which sits outside the cluster). Now I want to upgrade the network to...

Hi, I want to get my feet wet in machine learning / artificial intelligence and for this purpose I have bought an NVidia RTX A5000. Unfortunately, this card requires more power than my small home lab servers can deliver with their measly 450W PSUs. So at the moment it lives in my workstation...

Can someone recommend "cheap" (ideally quad, at least dual) network adapters and switches that support 40gbit? Are there any options with rj45? Looking to buy used. Thanks!

So I have a PBS running onsite and another one remotely that is syncing the local PBS's data for additional safety. In the remote PBS' GUI I can see the running sync job's log but while the job has been running for 1 day and three hours, the log shown only spans less than one hour. Is there a...

I am trying to set up an Nvidia vGPU for AI workloads and I am following this guide: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/NVIDIA_vGPU_on_Proxmox_VE_7.x# My card is an RTX A5000. I obtained the NVidia grid host driver (535.129) and installed it on the PVE host. I activated SR-IOV and now have several...

Hi, I have a three node home lab PVE + Ceph cluster. Recently, I replaced one node with another server. While I removed the old node from the PVE cluster config, I missed removing the OSDs from Ceph first. So for a while they were shown (toghether with the old node ("bucket")) as down...

Hi, I am trying to set up a NVIDIA A5000 as vGPU as per this wiki article: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/NVIDIA_vGPU_on_Proxmox_VE_7.x Got to the point where I enabled SRIOV and can list the virtual functions via lspci. But then it says under guest configuration that I should pick an mdev in...

Hi, On my 3 node home lab cluster, Ceph tells me that it has discovered 24 scrub errors and that 3 pgs are inconsistent. That does not sound overly promising. More importantly, however, I have no idea what to do with this information... I take it that the nature of this error prevents Ceph...
