    vm secure boot no longer working

    Did I understand correctly, that with old OVMF image, Secure Boot can be enabled without SMM? I need Secure Boot just for testing. From where old OVMF can be downloaded?

    PVE uses swap while RAM is*enough, why?

    Occasionally have this issue. Happened before on PVE 5.0 and happens now on recent PVE version. Intensive swap IO correlates to backup (vzdump) process. Processes, that don't release swap memory, are kvm running Windows. # free -m total used free shared...

    Invalid lines sent to Graphite as external metric server

    Generally sending metricks to Graphite works, of cource. Metrics are successfully exported and displayed. But there are many (tens of millions per day) invalid metricks. Here are examples from Carbon listener.log with different formats: 01/03/2018 12:43:50 :: invalid line...

    Slow livemigration performance since 5.0

    Fabian, thank you very much for rewriting migration process. although i still have a couple of concerns. Can you explain why you not resume VM on target before migration finished? As i understand, it is safe to resume VM during or before migration and let Qemu to finish or abort the process...

    Slow livemigration performance since 5.0

    Downtime improved for shared disk migration. It is now in range from 0.2 to 1 second. For "with local disk" migration almost no effect 12.5-13 seconds. Tested in nested cluster.

    [SOLVED] Active Directory authentication does not verify certificates

    After auth errors i see error messages in syslog "...pve01 pvedaemon[23645]: authentication failure;..." with understendable or googlable output. But what i like about Proxmox is good clean code, that can be debugged by nonprogrammer like me without any special tools or knowledge. For instance...

    [SOLVED] Active Directory authentication does not verify certificates

    Why do you think that problem in aforementioned topic is related to certificates? I updated to latest version and still login to AD successfully. Please check your configuration and make sure you choose right Realm in authentication dialog. According to sources, PVE::Auth::AD module uses...

    [SOLVED] Active Directory authentication does not verify certificates

    Configured AD authentication with SSL option. When user logins, PVE opens LDAP SSL connection to DC and authentications succeeds in spite of the absence of Domain Root CA or DC server certificates on Proxmox hosts. I can not find option responsible for certificete checks in configuration files...

    [SOLVED] How to verify the IP address of vm

    You need Guest Agent enabled and running. Check with 'qm agent <VMID> info'. And of course "pid" must be replaced with return value of your "guest-exec" command. This is part of my experimental script for populating VM notes with inventory information from OS. It outputs IP address given VM ID...

    [SOLVED] API to access VM Notes

    Thank you, Dietmar. Now i see it in https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/index.html. Tried to find it myself, but failed because looked for "notes". So as i understand i can use equivalent "pvesh set /nodes/<node>/qemu/<vmid>/config -description" and REST API URLs.

    [SOLVED] API to access VM Notes

    Implementing script to fill VM Notes with OS information, received from Qemu Guest Agent, i did not found API function to access VM Notes. One can update Notes by editing <VMID>.conf files, but this method is dangerous if used and can destroy all VM configuration if something goes wrong. Is...

    [SOLVED] PVE 5 Live migration downtime degradation (2-4 sec)

    As i already said before (quoting myself): This test bypassed both "$self->transfer_replication_state();" and "$self->switch_replication_job_target();" I think that, in your test with commented out commands VM already was running, because it is impossible on ordinary system to resume machine...

    [SOLVED] PVE 5 Live migration downtime degradation (2-4 sec)

    IMO in most cases normal is to resume as fast as you can without breaking VM. Especially if you have appllications sensible to time shifts or hi SLA. And when underlying technology (Qemu) allows you to loose 20 ms, waiting 3 s just to copy config or 10 s to destroy nbd devices or check...

    [SOLVED] PVE 5 Live migration downtime degradation (2-4 sec)

    I'm trying to subscribe to pve-devel second time and it looks like my subscription request ignored again. I can read archive, but do not think my messages to pve-devel at pve.proxmox.com would be processed without subscription. Concerning usleep. As i said i'm using nested PVE clusters for...

    [SOLVED] PVE 5 Live migration downtime degradation (2-4 sec)

    Fabian, do i understend you correctly, that manual resuming in phase 3 will remain in th future? I'd prefer to have an option (e.g. 'dangerous migration without downtime'). And in this case migration log should output real downtime as time difference from stopping VM on source host to finish of...

    The issue introduced with this commit. And it is indirectly related to local storage migration. Author: Fabian Grünbichler <f.gruenbichler@proxmox.com> Date: Wed Apr 19 15:19:47 2017 +0200 start: keep VM paused when migrating via unix socket this (correctly!) errored out with Qemu...

    This is interesting. Maybe difference between community and commercial versions. What have you commented out exactly? I commenting out whole resume section in PVE 4 /usr/share/perl5/PVE/QemuMigrate.pm 886 # if ($self->{livemigration}) { 887 # # now that config file is move, we can...
