Perfect, many thanks Thomas for the prompt reply and information. Doesn't look as complicated as I originally thought !

Thanks for your advice Moayad. As a test I created a new VM, got it up and running and logged in successfully, just so I know the VM "works". I backed it up to my FreeNAS NFS storage where all my VM backups are stored and deleted the VM via the ProxMox GUI I then restored the deleted VM...

Firstly, thanks to the Proxmox dev's for an amazing product. I rarely post because the system is rock solid and I have not had any problems for years, until recently whilst attempting an in place upgrade from 5.4 to 6 Some details around the config. I think very simple deployment. Home/home...

I tried running both 18.3 and 19.2 via a a USB thumb drive on the laptop and confirm both do work so it looks like I need to upgrade my OS. Thanks for the info.

Looking for some tips/guidance around remote connection via virt-viewer (SPICE). Connections to Windows and Linux guest machines from a Windows machine work fine, no issues at all. Connecting to the same guests systems from a Linux box (in this case Linux Mint 17) does not. I get "unable to...

Wolfgang, thanks for the tips/advice. Worked flawlessly, I have even tested restoring a VM from the migrated "dump" folder and it works fine. I can now remove that 2TB hard drive and put it to better use.

Did you try to ssh to the server and "qm stop VM_ID_NUMBER", then "qm start VM_ID_NUMBER" ? Whilst it's doing this you can see the result in the GUI as well which is quite handy

"zfs list -t snapshot" is your friend. One of my ZFS file systems (not on Proxmox I should add) filled up and I couldn't figure out where the storage had gone. I had a job that automatically created Snapshots of my VM storage pool and due the number of changes going on, plus the number of...

Hello, I have searched through the forum for an answer to this question and can only find threads related to moving LXC containers or migrating VM's. Someone must have come across this previously so I am looking for some tips/gotchas to look out for. A brief description of what I am looking...

Well, I finally took the plunge and went for a Dell PERC H310 SAS PCI (uses LSISAS2008 Chipset), link to PDF specification sheet is here http://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/shared-content/data-sheets/Documents/dell-perc-h310-spec-sheet.pdf Two reasons why I went for this one, cost (£39.99 of...

Hello Forum, Have been running Proxmox for a few years now in a SOHO setup, mainly for educational purposes but I do run a bunch of test systems for work as well on the same system. I use FreeNAS as an NFS storage area for my VM's, the FreeNAS system has a couple of mirrored SSD's for log and...

Yes, it was set to 1 in that file, I have changed it and now I can create multiple backups from the GUI. Does this mean that running vzdump from the command line looks at different config files versus running vzdump from the GUI ? Seems strange that there are two files where this option can be...

Hello forum, I'm trying to enable the possibility of having multiple backups for a VM. I have edited the /etc/vzdump.conf file and added maxfiles: 5 at the bottom of the file. The contents of the file are now as follows... # vzdump default settings #tmpdir: DIR #dumpdir: DIR #storage...

Hello Forum, Having a very odd issue migrating VMWare Windows machines over to PROXMOX using Clonezilla and wondering if anyone else has seen this (and has a solution!). Here is what I am doing In the VM on VMWare Remove VMware tools Run the mergeide.reg file Make sure atapi.sys...

Hello Forum, I'm fairly new to Proxmox, have only being using it for 12 months or so and have only been experimenting with it in a home office/educational environment. Initially I had the OS installed to two mirrored USB sticks which were mounted directly on the Motherboard (Supermicro)...

I have two disks connected. I tried again on the same VM and the same thing happened. Here is the really strange thing though. The VM I am having problems with was cloned years ago. I have run the same procedure over the clone and it worked (partially) OK. When I say OK, I had a problem...

Yes, KVM based VM. The boot order is OK, IDE0, CD-ROM, Network. No mention of IDE1. It's a puzzling one for sure. I have managed to successfully migrate single disk based VM's but can not migrate multi-disk VM's. I'm just about to try another multi-disk VM using the Clonezilla method...

Thanks for the response. I have tried the Clonezilla method and it all appeared to work OK, however, when I boot up the VM I just get a message stating "Booting from hard drive". See below. I have tried booting from the Windows Server CD and doing a "rescue". The rescue tools find the...

Hello forum, I'm in the process of migrating a number of VMWare guests over to PROXMOX. I have been following the process detailed here (https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migration_of_servers_to_Proxmox_VE#VMware_to_Proxmox_VE_.28KVM.29) and, for single disk VM's the process works well. However...

FIXED !!!! A little more information on this... From the command line (via IPMI) I can see the pool. If I do a zpool list and the pool is there, however, I get a "zpool: Symbol 'spa_feature_table' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking" message. I am reasonably OK with ZFS...
