I have a pfSense router running as a VM on Proxmox 6.1.8. I've recently been getting internet connectivity issues which I originally thought may be my ISP. However, I've found these errors in /var/log/kern.log which look scary: Apr 18 12:41:39 pve2 kernel: [ 20.057909] vmbr0: port 1(eno1)...

I'm trying to sort out the process for restoring vzdump backups taken on server A to server B. The steps I follow are: 1) Take backup with vzdump on server A. 2) Copy .vma file from server A to a NAS over CIFS. 3) Copy .vma file from NAS to server B over CIFS placing it in /var/lib/vz/dump/ 4)...

I have two machines running Proxmox which until recently were both capable of mounting a share on my NAS with the following command: # mount -t cifs //192.168.2.184/home /mnt/disk/ -o credentials=/home/phill/.nas_credentials-phill My test Proxmox server can still mount the NAS, but my...

I'm installing VE 5 on a machine with 2 hard disks and choosing ZFS0 as the file system. I erased all partitions off the disks before the installation. The installation seems to run smoothly right until the very end when I get this error which I can see when I press Ctrl-Alt-F2: command 'chroot...

For weeks I've been trying to get a virtual pfSense machine running on my Proxmox 5 setup. After instaling pfSense over and over I could never get it to acquire an IP address from the cable modem. Then this morning, as luck would have it, I stumbled across...

I'm setting up a new PVE 5.0 server. It has two hard disks (mechanical not SSDs). I want to use ZFS because I believe that's the way to get storage replication from local (as opposed to shared) storage. The installation CD gives the option of ZFS RAID0 and when I choose that both disks are...

I got a few VMs installed and running today. The first one was a Sophos UTM which is like pfSense. It has three NICs two of which are on a PCI card. This was all working great until I set up the last VM which is a home theatre PVR with a DVB-T card. To use the DVB-T card I had to set up PCI...

I've been experimenting with KVM on a CentOS 7.1 hypervisor. One very frustrating problem I have come across is when trying to passthrough a DVB-T PCI card to one of the VMs. What I've learned is that there's a thing called an IOMMU group and a group can include multiple PCI cards. In my case I...

I have 3 NICs installed on my Proxmox v3.4 node. One is a single NIC card, and the other two are on a dual NIC card. I am trying to get a Sophos firewall Virtual machine up and running, which requires 3 network interfaces: eth0 = LAN, eth1 = WAN (internet connection) and eth2 = DMZ. When I...

I have a Ubuntu-based VM which hangs every time I try to back it up. The VM's disk format is 10GB raw, it has 1 CPU and 2GB RAM, virtio Network. I'm backing up to an NFS share on a QNAP NAS on the same subnet. I'm running Proxmox 3.4-1/3f2d890e. Here is all of the backup output from the last...

I have got PCI passthrough running on one of my VMs - a MythBuntu installation (MythTV on Ubuntu 14.04). The PCI device is a DVB-T tuner card. There appear to be 2 PCI devices when you run lspci: 05:02.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio...

I have a DVB-T card which I've installed on a Proxmox 3 server. I'm trying to get PCI passthrough working with a DVB-T digital TV tuner card on a Ubuntu MythTV VM and I'm part way there. One thing I'm confused about is that the PCI card shows up with two entries when you run lspci on the Proxmox...

Hi, I'm new to Proxmox but have used VMware ESXi and Citrix XenServer before. I'm trying to set up a VM (KVM) with a DVB-T PCI card on a test server to check I can get PCI Passthrough working before I ditch VMware for Proxmox. I've been following the instructions at...
