    Very slow performance on Win11 guest with PVE 7.4

    So installed a Win11 guest with UEFI, TPM2, VirtIO drivers, and SPICE. I think I have disk performance problems: Overall, compared to a bare metal Win11 installation, the "experience" feels indeed usable but a bit "laggy"; for example in the Start Menu opening, contextual menus with...

    Installing recent VMs on old Proxmox version

    Here the Proxmox version is old, 5.2. We still don't have subscription... Now we need to install a VM with Rocky Linux 9 -with UEFI-, which already uses kernel 5.x, but when creating a new VM in Proxmox of course it still says up until kernel 4.x. Could we still go freely with the VM...

    How to implement automatic memory allocation with pure QEMU commands?

    At office we use Proxmox for production use. But for particular desktop user I wanted to give pure qemu-system-<arch> a try. After a big while of studying I think I got almost everything needed, except the detail of "automatic ballooning"; i.e., automatic memory allocation...

    Windows 11 guest and qxl driver

    I see many threads here talking about Win11 guests, so this tells me it's indeed possible. So I was trying to setup one, by following the best practices for Win10: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_10_guest_best_practices and hit a problem: using latest virtio-win ISO, within the qxldod...

    Proxmox installation from different partition: *solution*

    Hello. After many searches and some time testing, I'd like to propose a solution for installing Proxmox from ISO image located in a different partition. It involves adding some additional checkings in initrd init script, which will only enter if specifically selecting this kind of boot...

    Problem with an enlarged virtual disk

    I enlarged an old Centos 7 guest's virtual disk with file system XFS, by first enlarging disk in Proxmox host (web interface or qm command), then enlarging partition from within VM with "growpart" and "xfs_growfs" commands. Problem is, I made a mistake... The Proxmox host physical disk is 1 Tb...

    Feeling certain apathy from community, and few staff

    Hello. To staff members (if anyone reads this of course). By analyzing my previous threads I do realize I have not been exactly an example user. After a while, I tried coming back once more with different, hopefully shorter questions. Thing is, they keep being ignored, and for some strange...

    Does Proxmox installer support boot parameters other than the ones mentioned in the Grub config file? Is there a list, by chance? Thanks.

    Enlarging a virtual disk partition

    Trying to enlarge a partition in an old Centos 7 VM guest. Following steps here, "online" method for LVM involves using Parted's command "resizepart". Problem is, Centos 7 uses a Parted version with "resizepart" *removed*, so it will simply NOT work. Seemingly that function, along with others...

    Proxmox installation, iso-scan program?

    I'm using this script https://github.com/morph027/pve-iso-2-pxe to install PVE from PXE (and USB as well). As I have seen, other Linux distributions, which also support installing via this method, have a kernel parameter such as "iso-scan=", "inst.repo=", or others, which allows to tell the...

    Installation from PXE: "the initrd is too big"

    I'm using this script https://github.com/morph027/pve-iso-2-pxe by @morph027 to install PVE from PXE (and USB as well). This method works perfectly for PVE 6.0, but for latest PVE 6.2 it stopped working for me, even when github page says it's fully working for 6.2. With PVE 6.2, trying to boot...

    Installing PVE 6.2 from PXE, both initrd and loopback methods are broken

    Trying to install latest PVE 6.2 from PXE. First tried the "initrd" method. So I extracted linux26 and initrd.img from Proxmox ISO, and prepared a new initrd.img by copying ISO inside it and repacking. Then put both files in the PXE server. The grub config entry is like this (based on Proxmox...

    [SOLVED] Cannot open SPICE console for VM on browser

    Upgraded from 5.4 to 6.1. I have a Windows 10 VM with virtio drivers and Spice. In Proxmox 5.4, regardless of the video driver selected for the VM (default or Spice qxl), default "console" was always noVNC. If I wanted SPICE console I had to select it manually in the drop off console menu. But...

    Install Proxmox from ISO placed in a file system partition

    Background: I learned that Grub2 supports loopback devices, which allow to install Linux distros directly from ISO files placed in some file system partition; for example, from an ISO placed in a FAT32 or NTFS hard disk partition. This also applies for partitions in USB external devices, which...

    Install VM from USB device

    Hello. I have installed VMs either from ISO images -uploaded to Proxmox- and from physical DVD drive. I'd like to install a VM now from USB device, for when I have one made with Windows media creation tool or dd-ed a Linux distro. But I'm a bit clueless. Is it just enough to pass the USB...
