Hi, I somehow messed up my mail configuration on my PE 4.4. How do I reset it to default, so all mail is sent from root@proxmox directly to the specified address? I only use mail for SMART alerts. When I try to send a mail with: mail -s testemail MYMAIL@gmail.com < /dev/null This is the...

It doesn't work. I do SMART directly in proxmox now.

Allright. Changed the passthrough to SCSI and SMART works now. Thank you. Another topic: My host runs on an AMD A10-5700 APU. 1 socket, 4 cores. What is an intelligent way to assign coren to 3 VMs, which experience nearly the same load? Each VM with 1 socket, 2 cores?

I am mainly concerned with speed. Does the additional scsi layer impact performance? If I give it a try which SCSI Controller Type should I use?

No, I haven't because I thought virtio to be superior over the other alternatives

Hi, I use passtrough to make hdds, that are physically connected to my hypervisor available to a VM. For example with code like this: qm set 102 -virtio1 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-TOSHIBA_DT01ACA300_548XGR9GS Accessing the hdd from within the VM works fine, except SMART and device info. It seems...

Thanks for the detailed explanation

Sometimes things are just too obvious :) I assumed it won't be possible, so I didn't bother to check the options in the gui and tried to do it over CLI instead. so, out of curiosity, what would be the right arguments for qmrestore to restore to local-lvm? Furthermore, how do I handle these...

Hi, today I did a fresh install of proxmox 4.3. Previously I was running 3.x Beforehand I made backups of my KVM VMs via the web-interface. With the new LVM-Thin data structure, how can I restore my backups into local-lvm instead of local? Regards, Norman

Ok, I got it working now. But why would you use iscsi for a sata hdd? Wouldn't it make more sense to passthrough a sata hdd as a sata hdd? And where would I put this line so it is executed at every startup?

Please see my edit above

Can you explain this furtherI get the following error when trying your method:root@prox:~# qm set 101 -scsi0 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3250820AS_5QE5AVV2update VM 101: -scsi0 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3250820AS_5QE5AVV2400 Parameter verification failed.scsi0: hotplug problem - error on hotplug device...

I use an Intel Celeron J1900 CPU. May that be the problem here? Edit: Yes, the J1900 doesn't support VT-d and therefore isn't capable of passing through devices. So I"ll stick to virtio drives .

Ah, I overlooked something. Here is the beginning of the log: kvm: -device pci-assign,host=04:00.0,id=hostpci0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x10: PCI region 5 at address 0xd0680000 has size 0x400, which is not a multiple of 4K. You might experience some performance hit due to that. kvm: -device...

This is the whole config file:bootdisk: sata0cores: 4ide2: local:iso/debian-8.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso,media=cdrommemory: 6000name: fileservernet0: e1000=3E:86:FD:29:24:35,bridge=vmbr1numa: 0onboot: 1ostype: l26sata0: local:101/vm-101-disk-1.qcow2,format=qcow2,size=12Gsmbios1...

I also gave PCI passthrough a try but can't get it to work. After editing GRUB and checking with "dmesg | grep -e DMAR -e IOMMU" I get "IOMMU enabled". But when I add "hostpci0: 04:00.0" (which really is my SATA PCI- cards ID) to the node config, the VM doesn" boot anymore, showing this:TASK...

Thank you. That's what I was looking for.What parameters other than virtio should I set when adding the drive? Is RAW disk format alright for my purpose? And what about the cache?

I plugged in a hdd for testing. fdisk shows it, but how can I access it from the PVE interface to add it as a virtual disk?

Hi,I'm planning on running a home NAS and a firewall as VMs on a proxmox host.The storage for the NAS are 4 HDDs of different types and sizes, which I want to put in the machine running proxmox via SATA. The host itself runs on a seperate SSD.How would I go about making the HDDs available for...
