    Resizing Windows OS Disk Past 50%

    Normally, one cannot resize a Windows partition past 50% because the Master File Table (MFT) is placed in the middle of the disk and is marked immovable by the operating system. To get around this, perform the following steps: Create a "servicing" VM and install Windows 7 into it. Install...

    [SOLVED] Unable to Start VM - Storage X does not exist.

    Just thought I'd share this: Was having an issue starting VMs that I had backed up from one node and restored to another (non-cluster). All of the VMs were complaining that the NAS storage didn't exist and were refusing to start. I didn't realize, until now, that because it is a NAS (NFS Files...

    Why does no guide exist for this basic "getting started" task?

    Thanks for the confirmation! I thought it was just a matter of getting the OS to see the drive. Just needed to be sure. Doing this for work have already burned WAY too much time with Proxmox and simply don't have endless hours to spend "figuring things out"! The only thing that I've found in...

    Why does no guide exist for this basic "getting started" task?

    I've search the installation forum for "add a hard drive", "add a ssd", "add storage". Nothing. Apparently you either can't search for a phrase or that phrase doesn't exist in the forum. I know I'm not the only one, I did find numerous people asking the same question but the response was...

    Why does no guide exist for this basic "getting started" task?

    Not much. A lot of "what you can do" but no "how". Seems like simple task, but I've already been burned once. Will not proceed without an authoritative answer.

    Why does no guide exist for this basic "getting started" task?

    Did I stump you guys? Maybe it's not just me? I just finished rereading the storage guide in the docs and still have no idea how to proceed... I guess everyone just installs to one drive and lives with it. Not a very robust product anymore! Sure do wish the boss would have bought...

    Why does no guide exist for this basic "getting started" task?

    I've got a fresh install of Proxmox 5.1 and I am trying to add a storage drive for VMs that didn't get setup by the installer. I've been searching the forums and have found quite a few "just search the forum" responses but no definitive guide on how to actually do this "the right way". I'm on...

    Adapter Confusion on Install - Which one?

    I've made note of the adapter names and mac addresses during the install and I've confirmed that the network port that I have the cable plugged into is the same port I chose when I ran the installer. I CAN ping the box but still no web interface on port 8006. Did I get a bad release? Is this a...

    Adapter Confusion on Install - Which one?

    Trying out the new version of proxmox (v.5) and it seems much more difficult to get going than version 1.8. All sorts of issues with network adapters that I didn't have before. Didn't have a network cable plugged in the first attempt and neither adapter appeared to be up, post install. So, I...

    How do you get email notification to actually work?

    Re: How do you get email notification to actually work? [SOLVED] Got it working! After a rebooting the server, email notifications from the server started arriving in my inbox. This did not require any configuring of Postfix, just a reboot.

    How do you get email notification to actually work?

    Thanks, but what I was actually looking for is an example of how to make this work. Just a minimal config to get email off of the server and out to somewhere useful.
