If I click on my vm and lxc's and click backup, and choose snapshot, can I then restore them on a new proxmox install? Or do I need to shut them down? and do I still need the configs in /etc/pve ? If I need those configs, do I just copy those back to the new proxmox install and reboot?

Thanks, I had figured at worst I would have to recreate the vm, and then I could just copy anything from the old disk over, but that was obviously a giant mistake as there is no "directory" for my vm. I had only one vm that mattered and 1 lxc container. Reconfiguring them was not a huge pain...

drive died, became unrecognized. I thought i had setup the drives in mirror, but I have no idea what happened and why the other drive will not boot, and now im concerned it will die soon, so I installed proxmox on a usb for now. I ordered 2 spinning disks to install proxmox on and getting rid...

I had an issue today. My vms were alive, but several things were not working. I could not get to my proxmox server through the gui or through telnet. So I shut down the vms and decided to reboot my proxmox host. When it rebooted, it just keeps saying booting: proxmox failed to boot and then...

i did not realize i could just change the conf for the lxc to just mount the local folder to the container.

I have been working on using proxmox exclusively on a server. I created two vdevs by disk id and assigned them to a zpool from the command line. I was able to see the new zpool in proxmox. My intention is to be able to mount this storage into an lxc container and then create an nfs/smb shares...

ok so I did this through the command line and does it kind of break the functionality in proxmox? Ultimately my goal was to mount this pool in an lxc container and share it with smb/nfs. I created 3 datasets on itm, however, I dont really see a way to mount it in the container. I can create a...

I've got 6 x 6TB drives and 6 x 8TB drives. My thought was to create 2 RaidZ2 VDEV's and add them both to a pool, but I couldn't see a way to do that in the proxmox gui, do I need to do that from the command line, or am I missing it somewhere?

Sorry about that, I thought it was part of the datacenter manager piece.

Thanks again, thats super helpful! I'm not doing anything crazy, so its definitely overkill, but I want to do it right if I'm going to do it, and maybe some day I will use it to full capacity. Right now one VM is a NAS and one is a docker server that I run plex on, and sometimes host a local...

Thanks! that's the part I did not understand for some reason.

ok, so just use the same bond for all vms? I only have it set the way I have it set now because I just thought each was going to have to use a physical nic. it sounds like once I create the bond, I will only need the one bridges, and all vm's will just use the same vmbr0, but have different ips?

this is clearly the first time i've gone down this route, but I really want to make sure I break as little as possible tomorrow and Saturday. That's currently my proxmox network config. Proxmox maps to vmbr0. I have 2 more vm's that I map VM#1 to vmbr1 and VM#2 to vmbr2. then when i test a...

I hope that's it, I'm not terribly worried as it's been like that for months, i'll just keep an eye out and see if anything starts changing. Thanks again!

thanks! I'll have to make that change! I guess proxmox will have the bond and it will include all nics and get an ip, then i'll just create a virtual nic for each vm, give it an ip and the gateway will be the ip of the bond? Or am I over complicating it? throwing vlans on top of that probably...

I'm about to upgrade my homelab with a proper router and switch. I feel like it will be a good time to make changes to my proxmox config during that time. Currently I have proxmox installed on an r720 that has a quad nic, which I will be upgrading as well. I will go from the quad 1gb, to...

It's my boot drive, no vm's running on it or anything, just proxmox, I may have answered my own question WDS500G2B0B Does not seem to be in the database, from what I can tell, and perhaps it's getting an incorrect "media wearout idicator"?

I've had proxmox installed on an m.2 ssd for a few months (~6). I don't know when the wearout started stating 99%, but it's been at least a month. Any ideas on if this can just be incorrect? I have updated the smart tools db and re ran smartctl, but still no luck. This is the drive i have...

I would definitely make sure you update the firmware before you get going, just in case that fixes it. I've had no luck getting the firmware updated for any of my ssds.
