I have a 3 node cluster in my home lab. Each Node has a single NIC and all can access the WAN and the physical LAN ok. I'm struggling to set up a VNET or virtual network so that some of the VMs/LXCs can exist on their own separate network but across the nodes. I've installed and configured SDN...

I have just set up a 2 node with qdevice cluster in my lab here and all seems to be wokring ok. I'd like to add a third node to the cluster. 1. Should I turn off the qDevice BEFORE adding the new mode and as long as theres 3 nodes I don't need it to run any more? 2. Should I configure the...

I have a locally hosted lab setup consisting of PVE 7.4-15 which in turn is running a VM of PBS 3.0-1 called "backup.local". PVE is also running a few other VMs and LXCs. I have a relatively slow 60mbit/20mbit FTTC connection to my lab. I've tested this and verified that I'm getting close to...

On occasion, I get a red border around the list of VMs/LXCs in the backup modal screen which doesn't go away. It seems to suggest that I have not selected any VMs but clearly I have as shown by the attached screenshot showing that there were already VMs listed in the main pain before clicking...

I wonder how popular a lower priced subscription would be and whether Proxmox would consider such a thing? I've been using the non-enterprise version for years and I know that many will simply say "just buy a years support subscription". I'd really like to see the option to donate a nominal...

I have two nodes with two NICS each. One NIC is connected directly to the internet, the other NIC is essentially a LAN only connection between the nodes with a linux bridge creating VMBR2. I'm manually configuring static IP address to the nodes themselves in the 10.10.10.0/24 range. Can I use...

So it seems that you cannot add a node to a cluster if said node already has VMs/LXCs configured and running. Presumably this is a failsafe in case of ID replication. Is there a recognised way of adding the node to the cluster without having to migrate all the VMs/LXCs away, making a clean node...

I'm looking at using a low powered QDEVICE as my third NODE in a 2 node cluster. I don't have a local connection between the nodes or the qdevice, so I'll be relying on the WAN. Is corosync traffic encrypted, or should I consider protecting it in some way ie a VPN or other tunneling technique?

I have a 7.3-6 PVE node and a PBS 2.3-3 server but when selecting either a VM or a CT for restore using the GUI within PVE, I cannot see an option for live-restore. Should I be enabling something to see this feature?

I recently removed all the zfs pools from the GUI in PVE 7.2.11 and there are none showing now in the GUI, however during boot there is a delay and I get the following errors: proxmox failed to start import zfs pool {poolname} I have a number of these message referring to old pools that were...

I can see that it's possible to download various parts of the PBS backup run at a specific time using the web interface. Is it possible to upload a set of previously downloaded files to a PBS for them to be visible and used to restore a VM/LXC?

I have a few LXCs running on a PVE 6.4-14 server. Three of them render the Disk IO graph ok in the Summary tab but one of them shows no Disk IO at all in the past hour which is very odd as this server is quite busy. The only main difference between them is the LXC with the missing Disk IO has a...

Is there a way to get the real value of how much disk space is used per server backup? Currently I have 7 nightly rolling snapshot backups for my VMs and CTs but each one of them shows a very similar file size in PBS (understandably), generally growing slightly each night as more data is added...

I have a home lab setup using a relatively low specced Ryzen5 2600x (no integrated graphics). My Mobo has VGA and DV ports, but presumably these will only work if the CPU has a built-in GPU. I also have a nvidia 1080ti mounted in a PCI-e slot which I'd like to use with PCI Passthrough, however...

Loving PBS but it would great to see the following added as standard so that it's more inline with PVE. I wondered if the below was on the roadmap for the future and if anyone else might find these useful: Firewall management (like PVE) Whilst I know I can use IPTABLES for the firewall element...

I've recently installed Windows 10 as a VM and enabled GPU passthru along with some USB devices such as mouse & keyboard. 1. Is there a way to dedicate a specific USB port on my mobo to the VM? For example if I have a USB hub plugged into the mobo which has 7 ports, or do I need to allocate...

Is there a reason why the default install of Proxmox VE doesn't allocate it's own swap partition? If not, should I be providing my VMs with access to swap space and if so, should I be providing this swap space on SSDs or HDDs?

I have 3 Proxmox servers which are NOT configured as a cluster, and a PBS. All 4 have access to the 10.0.0.0 network where backup traffic is send. All 4 have 1gbit cards for the 10.0.0.0 network and running iperf across them confirms that im getting around 1gbps. 2 of the Proxmox servers...

I'm running the first backup on an 400GB LXC. This starts ok as I can see traffic across the PVE node to PBS as what I would expect, however after a while the traffic dies down to mere KBs and the backup is still running. Being an LXC, there is no percentage shown in the task window (this only...

I've just completed an upgrade of PVE from 5.x to 6.x and all went (mostly) smoothly. Thanks for the great help at https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_5.x_to_6.0 I have a Windows 10 VM that was running on PVE5 before the upgrade and I was able to view the screen using the NoVNC console...
