    Older HP DL380 G7 NIC speed now limited to 100 Mb/s, wasn't before

    Update: Turns out swapping out the cable the cable fixed it, but I'm even more confused now. The cable seemed to be selectively biased against linux (???). Two different windows machines could get 1 GB/s when connected, but no linux machine (RHEL and ubuntu) could when connected to the same...

    Older HP DL380 G7 NIC speed now limited to 100 Mb/s, wasn't before

    Yep, I've verified with a laptop plugged into the same cable that 1 Gb/s is working for the cable/switch/etc. This one has definitely stumped me (it's not urgent or anything though, it's just a test box).

    Older HP DL380 G7 NIC speed now limited to 100 Mb/s, wasn't before

    I have an HP server here that was recently built as a PVE 5.3 machine. About 8 months ago this machine was built as a PVE 5.2 machine (sorry, I can't be more specific than that, there's no record of which exact version). It was then wiped and sat unused until now. The box has a Broadcom 1 Gb/s...

    Automoted backup server building using qm delete, then qmrestore

    An office I'm checking in on is using an old server as a backup host for their VMs. Currently the way they've set up the backups is with a cron executed shell script on the host that every month: 1: Backs up the VMs on the main server 2: Boots the Backup server 3: Once booted, detaches and...

    [SOLVED] Cluster where node is turned off most of the time

    There is a two node cluster here, where one of the machines is the production machine and the other is the built backup machine. The backup machine is off, and only turned on when needed. The cluster was set up before it was realized this would be happening, but it is still very useful because...

    qm start ID returns "malformed JSON string"

    Ok, thank you, and the problem was fixed by restarting the node.

    qm start ID returns "malformed JSON string"

    It returns: kvm: -netdev type=tap,id=net0,ifname=tap200i0,script=/var/lib/qemu-server/pve-bridge,downscript=/var/lib/qemu-server/pve-bridgedown,vhost=on: could not configure /dev/net/tun (tap200i0): Device or resource busy So the JSON problem was an unrelated red herring?

    qm start ID returns "malformed JSON string"

    Ah, I guess I wasn't clear enough, the VM does not start when this error is thrown.

    qm start ID returns "malformed JSON string"

    Thank you wolfgang! That makes my life easier (to be clear, you are talking about my issue too, not just @adminimt's, correct?). If you still want to look at it the version output is: proxmox-ve: 5.2-2 (running kernel: 4.13.8-3-pve) pve-manager: 5.2-2 (running version: 5.2-2/b1d1c7f4)...

    qm start ID returns "malformed JSON string"

    Also this is linux kernel 4.13.8-3, and the output of qm showcmd ID --pretty is: /usr/bin/kvm \ -id 200 \ -name NAME \ -chardev 'socket,id=qmp,path=/var/run/qemu-server/200.qmp,server,nowait' \ -mon 'chardev=qmp,mode=control' \ -pidfile /var/run/qemu-server/200.pid \ -daemonize \...

    qm start ID returns "malformed JSON string"

    Minor emergency here, a Windows server 2016 VM was reset while it wasn't responding (which was because the nfs share one of its drives was on was disconnected), now when attempting to start it from the shell returns: malformed JSON string, neither tag, array, object, number, string or atom, at...

    Problem passing through a USB external hard drive

    Ok, so the entire syslog during startup is as follows. I've bolded what I see as the relevant parts. It seems the device (LaCie RuggedXL, ID=059f:1024) is repeatedly connecting and disconnecting, and the device number is changing. I'm not sure what that could mean though.

    Problem passing through a USB external hard drive

    There are logs for things that would be expected like detecting the device, is there something specific I should be looking for or seeing?

    So that has been done and there has been no change. The device still doesn't appear in device manager or partition manager.

    Problem passing through a USB external hard drive

    @dcsapak I didn't realize that there was a significant difference between shutting down a VM from inside stopping it. I'll try that and get back to you, thank you!

    Problem passing through a USB external hard drive

    Hello all, I am having a problem passing a USB external hard drive through to a Windows Server 2016 KVM, on a machine running PVE 5.1-38, kernel version 4.13.8-3. The device is USB 2.0. Using both the web interface (by going to the VM and using Add->USB device and adding the device in question...
