    LXD Project Lost Some Funding From Canonical - Does this affect Proxmox Virtual Environment?

    Hi There, Just curious if the loss of LXD Image Server funding from Canonical with the Linux Containers project is going to affect Proxmox Virtual Environment and whether or not we will see a shift to Incus containers (whatever those are ;) ). Also, is there a good up to date explanation /...

    Windows Server 2022 Snapshot Stalled, Stopped, Now visible in GUI still...

    Hi there, Is there anyway to remove a snapshot that never finished correctly? The VM starts up fine but I don't want leftover remnants from an interrupted snapshot. Thanks, Tmanok

    Clarification Regarding RBD Clients

    Hi Everyone, I'm about to deploy a sizable CEPH environment for proof of concept purposes and I want to consider benchmarks vs real world usage. Therefore, I have a few clarifying questions that I don't think my shiny PVE Advanced Certification answered: What counts as an RBD client in PVE...

    Ansible provisioning support?

    Hey PVE Staff and Users, Are there future (or current) plans to deploy PVE using Ansible? There are official scripts for Xen, VMWare, and RedHat on HPE Systems for example. https://github.com/ansible-provisioning/ansible-provisioning/blob/master/README.md Thanks, Tmanok

    Virtual guests members of multiple resource pools?

    Hi Everyone, I noticed recently that virtual guests can't be members of more than one resource pool at a time. Am I misunderstanding this limitation? Thanks, Tmanok

    Offloading emulation with DPUs

    Hi PVE Devs, For the last three years, I've kept a keen eye on new high performance computing hardware and modern virtualization techniques. In recent years, previously inaccessible technologies such as DPUs have become more readily available, enabling even medium size businesses to acquire...

    Help with TRIM on Virtio SCSI Single

    Hi Everyone, Wondering whether or not Virtio SCSI Single supports TRIM in guests, I have observed it not working automatically during disk migration with a hook script but when the disk controller is set to Virtio SCSI, it works as expected with no other changes. Evidently, I've prefer to use...

    LXC Migrated after power failure but storage did not copy

    Hi everyone, I have a fairly simple problem. Power to some personal PVE servers was lost and when it came back one of my LXC's configured for HA was "migrated" and attempted to boot but failed to... I took a look to find out what happened and noticed that it was on local storage of the first...

    iSCSI Live Migration Nimble

    Hi Everyone, One of my major clients is considering PVE but I've run into the same snag as earlier this year. The organization has several HPE Nimble SANs and they aren't going away as far as I can tell. HPE Nimble is block storage only, so iSCSI is basically the one and only solution...

    Is there any way that iSCSI can offer snapshots & HA

    Hi Everyone, We've been struggling moving away from a mal-performing CEPH cluster at a customer site for a little while now, however, our NAS supports iSCSI and NFS, but not CEPH or ZFS over iSCSI. Is there truly no solution to include HA, Live Migration, and PBS Live Backups using an iSCSI...

    Upgrade from 7.0.10 Kernel 5.11.22-7 to 7.2.4 Kernel 5.15.35-1 Cannot Process Volume Group PVE

    Why Hello There! This evening I performed a regular upgrade to a client's long-standing (~2 years) hyperconverged PVE cluster. This cluster has some history but for the most part has been trouble free. The cluster is made up of homogeneous hardware, all Gen8 HPE Proliant servers with one node...

    Application Aware Processing for Linux and Windows database servers - Tmanok

    Hi Proxmox Team! Not sure if I asked a similar question recently, couldn't find it if I did but I know that this has been troubling me a lot lately. After working with Veeam long ago and recently supporting an organization that relies on it heavily, I was reminded that it offers Application...

    Specify storage for guest replication

    Hi PVE Team, I was reading the admin guide and revisited local guest replication with two hosts having local-zfs and a question came up. How would you specify a secondary storage. For example, if my node has local-zfs and another JBOD eSAS enclosure running attached-zfs or similar, how would...

    Proxmox Security Hardening Guidance?

    Hi Everyone, Does anyone know of official publications or resources regarding security hardening of Proxmox projects? PVE, PBS, PMG, client tools, etc... There seems to be a lack of documentation on the matter and I'm interested in seeing it pursued. I'm sure that a lot could be pulled from...

    Why don't VMs update certain hardware settings on reboot?

    Hi PVE Staff and Community, This has been a bane of mine for a while and I'm not sure if there is something I can do to "fix" it. Whenever I change a VM config (normally in the WebGUI) to provision a different number of resources, e.g. CPU cores, memory, etc, the VM only receives those...

    Windows Server Backup Shows 20+GiB dirty between backups within a couple hours!

    Hi Everyone, Something startling has occurred that I cannot seem to figure out. While reviewing backup logs, a specific Windows Server was backing up more data than expected, so I manually ran my backup task to PBS before today's nightly backup. After a successful backup of 170GiBs, I noticed...

    Plans to add Backup Storage Usage limit instead of retention numbers?

    Hi Everyone, Recently a thought crossed my mind while tuning a Proxmox Backup Server at one site and a Proxmox Virtual Environment server at another site: sometimes it is difficult to gauge the amount of disk space required while configuring backup retention. Some backup solutions, such as...

    [SOLVED] Renaming node ambiguity in documentation

    Hi Everyone, In the documentation https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Renaming_a_PVE_node there is a section that describes moving a node's /var/lib/rrdcached/db/pve2-node (and pve2-storage) sub-directory contents to the new hostname. However, I am unsure if it also needs rrdcached/db/pve#-* to be...

    Compression accelerator for PVE Backups

    Hey Everyone, PCIe accelerator cards of all shapes and sizes interest me, mostly because CPUs are these hulking beasts that handle significant amounts of processing and they are constantly taxed from "side" or "auxiliary" workloads outside of their primary tasks. Take a hypervisor, proxmox...

    Hey everyone, Found some nifty PVE setup scripts today on Reddit that I plan on utilizing very soon. https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/ Have not tested these yet, however a few admins online used them with success and apparently it saved them quite a bit of time. Personally, I will use them...
