Hi During the process of upgrading to proxmox 8 and running the script pve7to8, I got the result of the test script: INFO: Checking for supported & active NTP service.. WARN: systemd-timesyncd is not the best choice for time-keeping on servers, due to only applying updates on boot. While not...

Sorry for the title but I wanted to be as descriptive as I could be, in order someone else searches it in the future. So... upon my effort to install a cli program for proxmox in order to communicate with the SNMP card of the ups and gracefully shut down after all VMs do so, i tried to install...

Hi I know that there were some similar issues since the earlier versions of proxmox about this matter and that is why I am going to include the outcome of those commands seen been asked for further assistance. Issue happened before 2 hours when I tried to update the first node. I let it...

Hi I was testing yesterday the intermediate truenas server between 2 nodes, since they now both have it as a remote storage. On truenas side, I used as a backup pool a set of 6 disks (sas3 hdd 2.5" 1.2tb /10k each) and set them as raidz2. On proxmox all vm's are on a raid 10 (striped...

Hi Even though there are relevant questions on that matter and after reading a lot of them I ve made my personal guide, I came across this need yesterday and trying to follow back my guide, noticed that there are some gaps that needec to be completed. So my initial guide with an example...

Hi I had attached an external hdd via usb to the server and after initializing it and creating a zfs, created a directory on top in order to store backups. i need now to remove it and probably manually umount it, in order to attach it to a different server and restore one Vm from there (in...

I am having below type of syslog messages for hdd temps attribute which is both insanely high, when the room is constantly at 19 degrees Celsius and smart data showing all temps of disks between 29 -32 for sas drives and 38-41 for the sata ones Jun 26 11:37:45 HHprox smartd[4621]: Device...

Hi I was trying to setup a VPN server on a VM and got this message during configuration .... <<<Some VMs prohibit the Promiscuous mode (MAC Address Spoofing) on the network adapters by default. If Promiscuous mode is administratively disabled, the local bridge function between a Virtual...

Hi I already read many posts about the title's procedure and had a guide written, but when it comes real world production environment, anxiety takes place and many things could go wrong. So I need your approval, before driving 65Kms to work on Saturday to replace a failed (ready to fail)...

Hi Is there a way to minimize the number of times proxmox searches for missing services or connections? For instance I have shut down the 10g connection between prox and Nas and the syslog floods like below which is irritating and keeps ssd busy without (for me at least) any reason for...

Hi i recently finished the 10g connection between Proxmox and TrueNas Scale. My purpose might be a little odd to be considered as a general use case scenario but here it goes nevertheless. The connection established via NFS and Iscsi and I left async as default so enabled for both...

Hi i d like to know what is the meaning of ......... INFO: backup is sparse: 54.26 GiB (49%) total zero data, even though it seems to finish successfully . .... and the rest of the message INFO: transferred 109.00 GiB in 731 seconds (152.7 MiB/s) INFO: archive file size: 39.43GB INFO...

Hi As the title clearly states, I noticed that message when I started a Vm with qm start command and noticed that at syslog (probably it is going on for a while or since the start of the VM creation). Searching for this error, doesn t really help a lot. To me it seems like an...

Hi Happened me before a year, happened again yesterday after an update which was correlated to pve update. At least the first time it happened I had a pop up message if I would like to update or keep the /etc/network/interfaces file. Now without warning or anything updated, I reboot the...

Hi I am trying to figure out what to do about the local time for RTC option for a Vm (WinServ2019) which acts as an NTP and syncs time from an external source. To my understanding, letting option as default, so enabled, makes VM thinks its bios clock is Proxmox's clock, right? Should I...

Multiple times I have configured proxmox from scratch and storage is my weak spot. I am always trying to set the best possible options for the use case scenario, still finding myself weak at determining which these best options are, for storage. Once more, the disks used are 512 native...

I will be as quick as possible, since the question tends to be specific to one option of the command. As the titles states, in an effort to pass through a usb-hdd to a VM I did the following from cli First identified the usb disk Id with ls -n /dev/disk/by-id/ Afterwards, passed that disk to...

Hi I am struggling finding a way (at least the most proper / valid one) on how to move the raw disk space of a VM (after detaching it) to another VM (on the same or different server) My installation is based on zfs. I Installed two Win10 VMs and I gave the first one (VM id 102) a second...

Hi I ve seen a different way to pass disks to a VM when an hba card is out of a question for some reason. You find the id (disk-by-id) of the drive (which doesn t change like sda sdb...etc) and you pass it through to the VM with the command qm set id_of _the_vm -iscsi(0,1,2,3....n)...

Hi Before posting this I ve read all 10 posts about shrinking disks but none of them seemed to be the <<<correct>>> officially approved way, so I thought to give it one more try. Backend info: PVE is installed in a mirror zfs and the VM is a win 10 test machine installed on the local-zfs...
