    black screen/no-signal on monitor after upgrade to PVE 7?

    Hi there. I performed locally a fresh installation of PM (6.4-1) on my Fujitsu x2540 M2. After that I updated (remotely) to v.7 'by-the-book' using pve6to7 check and no-subscripton repos. Everything went smoothly but what made me wonder is no signal on vga output (@ least that's what monitor...

    megacli/megasasctl/megasasraid on PVE 7x?

    Hi there. Any ideas on installing megacli/megasasraid/megasasctl on PVE 7? The only working solution for me was installing 6 + hwraid packages, then upgrade to 7. What about plain 7? Any ready packages yet?

    networking.service status failed after install ifupdown2

    Hi there. I installed remotely ifupdown2 on my PVE 7 using SSH console (putty). I believe ifupdown2 install process seem to remove ifupdown. I did NOT perform update ifupdown packages prior to ifupdown2 installation (not a recommended move as I read after that). During installation I got dc...

    second disk for both VM's and local Backups

    Hi there. My 1st hardware RAID-1 volume is set as main Proxmox boot + rest as LVM for VM use. Now I have a new pair of disks (2nd RAID1). I'm a bit confused with configuring secondary RAID1 storage as VMs VDs + backups. Easiest way is to create an ext4 full capacity partition and mount it as...

    My LVM-Thin gone (?) - vdisks missing/empty (lvscan inactive)

    Hi there. I recently added new pair of server disks (hardware raid1). I've also created new LVM_Thin and moved boot-vd of my VM from my old LVM. It worked like a charm for a few days. Just now I saw my VM in a boot-loop mode - "no bootable device". In proxmox gui everything seemed to look just...

    LVM-Thin volume keeps getting filled up to 100%

    Hi there. I have a ~500GB LVM_Thin for vm disks. Both vdisks have total 450GB capacity (150+300). Yet after a week or so lvm-thin fills up to 100% crashing vm using it as storage location. I'm using scheduled vm backups on external nas device (NFS) - could backup possibly consume rest of free...

    Dell PowerEdge 2950 - pci passthrough USB controller.

    Hi there. I'm about to implement Proxmox to a bit "vintage" PE2950 (based on E5440 Xeons), then fire up a Win2k8 R2 VM. Thing is VM needs direct access to USB (software requires usb key). I'm about to add pcie usb controller... Any confirmation of PE2950 handling passthrough?

    Additional disk for both: VD and backup

    Hi there. I've added additional mirrored (hardware Raid1) 3TB storage (3,5" SAS 7.2k). My goal is to share this storage both for VD's and for some proxmox backups. Might be wrong but that means that I shall split the capacity (lets say 50/50) for LVM (vd's) and rest for EXT4 for backup space. Or...
