I just finished accomplishing this. It's not too tough once you know how to get past a few nigglies. Many thanks to @Dunuin and to the author linked below. And of course to the awesome ProxMox team. Prerequisites This sequence is based on a few assumptions. If your situation is significantly...

I see info discussing the Installer layout of ProxMox EFI boot drives, with 3 partitions: I want to add a second mirror drive. There are complex methods, but I'm seeking something simple for myself and others. To that end, a few questions: 1) Is there a script to duplicate what the Installer...

I am trying to get SPICE going for the first time, and failing miserably. I *think* I've debugged to the following point: * firewalls are not an issue. I can ping everywhere, can RDP in, can ping, etc. * I've loaded all of the various bits that need loading AFAIK into local machine, into guest...

I just got this fully working; thought I'd share my notes on what it required to succeed in my context. Host: HP Z2 SFF box, Xeon CPU with full virtualization support. A. MUST follow standard ProxMox host pass-through instructions (.../pve-docs/chapter-qm.html#qm_pci_passthrough) including...

I am working on a Win10 image. It's too big; want to shrink it. I reduced the partition sizes so I have under 52GB of partitions in a 500GB raw virtual disk. Config info below. The hard part: the image (in my local-zfs storage) is actually apparently a set of links to /dev/zd48* which are...

Having a spare set of 1GBe ports and a switch that supports LACP (GS748Tv5), I thought I'd bump the performance of my VLAN trunk. What I have had fully working for over a year: (switch) <---> (ProxMox Host enXXX physical) -> (Host vmbr2, VLAN-aware) -> pfSense VM For a different purpose, I...

It's possible some of the following is specific to my environment... but having read a ton of threads to solve my issues, I suspect these are more general insights gained. NFS has had serious reliability problems when it comes to rebuilding broken links... until version 4.1 Before that...

I have two almost identical host boxes (HP Z2 G5, with Intel I350 multi-port nic, etc. Nice ;) ) They've been running great on 7.0 through 7.4 Time to upgrade to 8.1 Key item is NIC id's as I have a rich networking environment (pfSense HA, multiple VLANs, etc). Driver is igb... One box went...

I thought this would be a simple thing, yet find no docs nor examples: I want to do the equivalent of reformatting and/or removing all partitions from a QCOW2 file assigned to a VM Why? I started installing a VM, messed it up, and want to start over without redoing the entire hardware config...

Initial symptoms... Diagnosed and solved: My password/form helper remembered an earlier version of the login form It used to use "English" but now uses "Default (English)" By forcing "English" into the form field, it silently made it impossible to login Such fun :cool:

I just caused myself some serious grief, breaking our network for hours. I've solved the problem... but I believe ProxMox could easily help users to avoid this issue. A bit of background I have a four port (I350) Intel network card with SR-IOV capability. It's been wonderful. One of the ports...

I dug in pretty far before concluding that there's no client for MS Windows (of any type), nor MacOS. And I don't see it in the roadmap. Am I missing anything with that assessment? Thanks!

I've got a brand new HP Z2 workstation, with Win10 preinstalled on the NVMe. I am going to immediately reconfigure it as a ProxMox host. I'd like to use the Win10 license as a VM. My question: can I extract the Win10 partition(s) onto a separate HDD (using bootable PartEd), load up PVE, then...

I'm really feeling the noob sense right now. One of my clustered hosts has a lot of extra capacity. I've created a couple of extra ZFS pools on that host. I was thinking I'd use them for ISO and backups. Now I see that /etc/pve/storage.cfg is identical on all hosts, and is used to define what...

I have a two-node cluster; been running for almost a year. New node configured; time to add it. (All are running the same PVE version; all have same underlying linux; all can ssh to one another; etc etc.) I used the GUI to add the new node to the cluster (pasting the blob of secure info). The...

I was installing VE 7.2 on my brand new host box... first ran into black screen after install begins -- see separate thread on that. Then, install failed, with the X server conking out before anything graphical happened. Here's the generic solution: 1) Hit ctrl-alt-F2 to see the error screen...

I'm installing VE 7.2 on a nice new HP SFF Z2 G5... with nVidia T1000 card. Total video overkill since this will be a headless host once set up ;) In any case, while I got other USB boots to work by forcing VGA video (eg GPartEd)... in this case I don't see any ProxMox install options at ALL in...

Many ISO's come in *.iso.gz form. Right now, a workaround is required in the GUI to accomplish this: * Set up the download * In the filename section, remove the ".gz" or it will complain that it's a bad filename * After the download, in the shell mv xyz.iso xyz.iso.gz gunzip xyz.iso.gz rm...

I'm running a two-node pfSense HA (BSD "CARP") cluster on a couple of Proxmox hosts. Mostly, it works. However, under failover conditions, things don't work well... and I suspect it is because the secondary pfSense takes over the gateway IP address, which causes the MAC address to change...

I just attempted an update, which failed pretty miserably. I note that a LOT of old versions are still hanging around... is that an issue? End of errors: Below: - pveversion -v Attached: - captured live errors - mount - cat /proc/mounts Anything else? pveversion -v [See attached for...
