    Dhcp server in VM

    I am unable to have the ISC-DHCP server to serve non-VM clients with IP adresses. VM clients do get served correctly. I see the DISCOVER but the physical clients does not get any OFFER's. Is there any firewall rules that cause this? My PVE 8 have default network settings. Any idea or...

    Migrating the system/boot disk in PBS

    I have a boot/system disk in my PBS system that shows some SMART errors. I am a bit concerned and want to replace that disk with another fresh one. All data is on a second disk, a ZFS volume. The system disk in formatted as EXT4. Now I installed a new PBS on a secondary server using the same...

    VNCproxy error after change of hostname

    When I installed the first PVE node, I left the hostname as PVE with a fixed IP on my subnet. Later on I decided to change the hostname to a proper one using hostnamectl. DNS is updated accordingly, and I added PVE as a CNAME for backward compatibility. But after doing that, I cannot connect...

    Action after PBS installation?

    I have local backups taken on the PVE system, stored under /store/dump (local filesystem). Now since I have a PBS up and running on a separate physical node, can I just delete the files in the dump directory? I cant see any GUI option for removal of old local backups.

    Backup of PVE config

    I found this gem on github that explain how to backup the configuration in case of a hw failure. https://gist.github.com/free-pmx/47ea73e1921440e29d8792cc0ea1e7b9 Does this sqlite database also hold the same information as in the /etc/pve config files, or should a backup consist of both items...

    Import dilemma

    Hi. Hope that someone can guide me here. I have to import a number of VM's from a Debian/KVM host to a PVE. The original files are a mix of qcow2 and raw format. When I imported the first Windows VM (server 2019) using qm importdisk I was unable to boot it. I created the VM in PVE without an...

    First steps to create a ZFS mirror

    So I have a PVE setup on an /dev/nvme1n0 (OS only) and two blank 1TB disks that I want to use for storage of VM's, templates etc. Should I create an md (software raid) before adding the mounted mirror as a Directory? Or would it be better to let PVE create a ZFS mirror from the two blank...

    Move/Copy VM from PBS to external USB

    I'd like to copy a template VM from a PBS backup location (my NAS) to on USB for import on another PVE system. If anyone could point me to a guide or instruction, I would be very grateful. It's PVE 8.2 and the latest PBS. The directory on the NAS have this content root@pbs:~# ls -lash...

    Zabbix agent config for PVE 8

    It's maybe me, but I find the instructions for adding a PVE host/agent to Zabbix confusing. I dont get the relation between the local user accounts and API keys/tokens in Zabbix vs Proxmox, and how they are supposed to be setup. I may have tested all permutations I can think of but I still get...

    Spice or default console to Windows 11?

    Access using the default console from Pve 8 works just fine for me, but I was curious on how Spice worked, and if the GUI was more fluent using that. So I installed the Spice agent tools and virtio drivers on windows and changed the virtual hardware to Spice in the VM settings. I can connect...
