    Upgrade Clustered PMG 5 servers to 7

    I have a clustered pair of version 5 PMG's that up for license renewal. I've been debating whether it would be easier to update the version 5 servers to 7 using the existing licenses and also keeping live traffic running through them or if I should just purchase another set of licenses and start...

    Recover from stuck live migration

    I was in the process of migrating all VM's from a server running pve 7.1-11 to 7.1-12 so I could update it. It migrated several VM's and then stopped and the server turned to a grey question mark. It has been about a half hour and it doesn't appear like the migration is still progressing. All of...

We've tried this in the past with a hyper- converged set up and it didn't go so well so we're wanting to build a separate ceph cluster to integrate with our proxmox cluster.

    Utilize existing storage servers with PBS

    For a long time we've been using TrueNAS and Synology NASes as NFS storage for our PVE systems and just doing a a vzdump to them for backups.

    I would like to convert a physical Windows 2012 R2 server to a KVM based VM. The difficult part is that the server is currently in a remote data center and I don't have local hands access to it.

    Linode to Proxmox Migration

    I have a customer with a legacy application that is still running on CentOS 5.11. I have recommended we clone the VM and bring it in-house on Proxmox and put it behind a firewall to better protect it since CentOS 5 updates ended years ago. I have managed to boot the Linode in rescue mode and...
