    non ZFS VM storage

    Hello!, I've used ZFS data stores in the past with plain SAS HBAs before and have been pretty happy with it, handling protection & compression. For a given setup, I have: - OS boot: LSI SAS HBA + 1 x KINGSTON SA400S3 + 1 x SanDisk SD5SB2-1 + ZFS Mirror. - Datastore storage: RAID controller...

    PBS as a VM

    Hello!, As part of a little lab, I have two PVE servers that I would like to setup in a 2-nodes cluster. I have a third node that has a lot of resources that would be probably wasted with PBS (it's similar to the first two nodes). Anyhow, with PVE or PBS, I plan to run QDevice on the third node...

    Amazon Linux 2

    Hello!, Anybody tested the qcow2 Amazon Linux 2 image?, they seem to be prepared to use cloud-init but doesn't seem to work as is with Proxmox 7. There's a seed.iso they provide and you should adjust by hand, but would like to use the stock cloud-init support in PVE. Ref...

    ZFS replication without cluster

    Hello!, I have two nodes running PVE7, and would like to replicate some VMs between them. I don't see how to add a second node without creating a cluster, is that possible?. I would like to have them as independent nodes, and expect to start the failed VMs manually when needed. Regards.

    Moving to SR-IOV

    Hello!, I've setup PVE7 with a failover bond setup and it's working fine. I would like to activate SR-IOV to provide VF directly to a VM. My only doubt is what should I change regarding the host's network configuration, can I keep it using the "parent" devices or should I reconfigure it also...

    Trust other CAs

    Hello!, I'm integrating Proxmox with a Freeipa directory and would like to use TLS, how can I import the FreeIPA's CA certificate?. Should I just do it underneath?, I cannot find any CA management option in the GUI of PVE7.

    Hello!, I'm attempting to run a lab of VMware vSphere on top of my Proxmox lab, the only out of the box supported network interface seems to be VMXNET3, but running a basic ping test within the VM I can send at most 3030 in the payload. Anybody has seen such limitation?. Meanwhile, I'll try to...

    VMware guestinfo interface

    Hello!, I know cloud-init support is the way to go usually, but when using appliances prepared for VMware Tools, have anybody found a workround for the guestinfo interface from VMware?. The idea would be to be able to deploy those appliances with Proxmox defining arbitrary parameters. It's...

    Environment bundle

    Hello!, I would like to be able to package a bundle of VMs with their configuration (including networks) so I can share labs with coworkers. Is there any similar construction to vApps in VMware (which in turn are heavily based on OVF files)? The idea would be to easily replicate environments...

    "Cloud" like delegation

    Hi!, anybody managed to achieve some kind of administrative delegation where a user can manage a subset of resources, access VM console and start/stop some the same VM ?. I've been looking around but the usual tools (ovirt, openqrm, cloudstack, opennebula, etc) don't seem to integrate with Proxmox.
