    Networking issue

    Thanks Wolfgang, I just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed something. I'll keep trying. I actually thought default Proxmox switching (does this mechanism have a name?) looked more complex! It seemed to require a switch per VLAN, and then moving guest ports between switches to manage VLAN...

    I think this was caused by the liveCD video drivers or something - I'll try it again at some point.

    Networking issue

    Hi, I'm in the process of migrating from ESXi to Proxmox. My last VM is the most complex; the firewall. This VM has several network interfaces. I have an OVS defined in the Proxmox host which works really well. The switch only has three items; The OVS switch itself. The physical port on the...

    [SOLVED] New Proxmox host, Linux guests hang during install

    Hmmm, I'm using the LiveCD installer in all (failed) cases. I did go on and install a couple of Ubuntu server installs, which worked without issue. Is it likely to be video (or something) drivers? I never get a chance to replace the defaults with anything VirtIO. Config details (I snipped...

    I restarted the guest OS, but I did not stop-start the VM itself. I'll give it a try.

    [SOLVED] Guest agent config

    Hi, I'm in the process of migrating some Ubuntu VMs from ESXi to Proxmox. I have migrated a Ubuntu 16.04 VM and all seems to be working apart from the QEMU Guest Agent. I have removed the open-vm-tools package I was using on ESXi and replaced it with the qemu-guest-agent package from the...

    Unable to install from USB

    Thanks Maik. I should have said above, but I checked for that. The machine is so old it does not have UEFI, just BIOS. The age of the machine may have contributed to the issues I was having too...

    Unable to install from USB

    A point of interest; I burnt a DVD with the Proxmox 5.3-1 image and booted off of it. I then got several instances of the searching for cdrom message before the install continued - I thought it was going to fail, before it continued with the install routine. Other than that, the install...

    Unable to install from USB

    I have also found this thread, which details the same issue and recommends using Rufus in DD mode. Tried that and failed as well - this time the USB will not boot at all.
