I have old backups for VMs that I have since deleted. Can I just safely delete the folders under /mnt/datastore_name/VMID ? A lot of backups so command line is what I am trying to do.

I'm trying to create a script that will output the MAC and IP addresses from the VMs on this host. "qm guest cmd 1017 network-get-interfaces | jq ." will generate a valid JSON file. But when I try to address the element "hardware-address" all I get is errors like this: # qm guest cmd 1017...

So I have backup jobs set up on the Proxmox GUI, under Datacenter and backups. Each of these jobs has retention settings defined. So is setting up a scheduled Prune job in PBS really needed?

I created a Linux user called "admin" and put it into the "root" group". I created a user in the Proxmox UI called admin and put it into the "admins" group. I log with the admin account and the "Upgrade" button is grayed out. If I login as "root", the "Upgrade" button is not grayed out. I even...

Proxmox 8.1.4 - So I created a new user successfully. I select the user and press "Password" and type in a new password. I get an error that says: change password failed: user 'xxxxxxxxx' does not exist (500) The user is there so what is the real problem? I am using the "root" account.

I have created a VM through the GUI and using "qm create" and "qm set". I want to assign it 64 GB of memory. Here is the conf file: agent: 1 bios: seabios boot: order=scsi0;ide2;net0 cores: 4 cpu: host hotplug: disk,cpu,memory,network ide2: truenas:iso/golden2.iso,media=cdrom,size=1011M memory...

Doing this all on the command line to create a VM on a Ceph storage. Hoping this is a simple fix. qm create ... qemu-img create rbd:Ceph/vm-998-disk-0 41G Formatting 'rbd:Ceph/vm-998-disk-0', fmt=raw size=44023414784 When I run the following command, I get this error: # qm disk import 998...

I have three Cisco C220 M4 servers all loaded with Proxmox 8.1.4 and configured into a cluster. The cluster is healthy. Up until now I have been using one 1 GBe/sec NIC per node. Now I want to utilize another NIC (I have eight others to choose from). With the server at the POST screen, I can...

All at the command line... I have to jump through these hoops because "qm create" has no way to target a specific host in a cluster. So I run "qm create 1001" on HOST1. Then I run "qm migrate 1001 HOST2" on HOST1. Then I run "qm destroy 1001" on HOST1 And I get this message: "Configuration...

In looking through the forum posts, I see old posts with my answer but... I need to create a rather complex VM in Proxmox but from the command line. I see comments that say things like "Create the VM using the GUI then look at the logs for a qm create command". What "logs" are never mentioned...

I need to create a new VM (250+ actually) that uses Ceph storage. To create a disk on non-Ceph storage: echo "----- Creating the disk -----" qemu-img create -f qcow2 $DISK $STORAGE_SIZE How do I create a disk on Ceph storage?

I have three Proxmox 8.1.4 nodes. I have one VM (VM1) on node 1 and one VM (VM2) on node 2. I need VM1 to talk to VM2. Each VM is using a network bridge called "vmbr5" defined at both node levels. Using the SDN functionality, I know using a "Simple" Zone is not the way to go. I am now trying...

I am planning a medium sized cluster. The VMs will all be stored on NFS storage. The backup files themselves will be stored on dedicated local storage. When PBS backs up a VM stored on NFS storage, does it back up the NFS storage for that VM? Just checking. Thanks. Dave

Is any one using Proxmox in a United States Federal program? Exploring options... Thanks.

I noticed that I can select Sapphire Rapids are a CPU type. Does this mean I can implement High and Low priority cores?

Proxmox 8.1.3 - So we have a firewall at the Datacenter, Node and VM level. I want to add a rule so that all VMs cannot access a computer (not on Proxmox) on a specific IP addresses. Do I need to add the DROP rule on each VM or can I put one DROP rule at the Node level? On a firewall rule, if I...

When I select a VM and the Monitor option, all I see is "Type 'help' for help." Anyone seen this before?

Yes, I know snapshots are not backups...:) In VSphere/ESXi, snapshots continue to grow as more and most data is changes since the last snapshot. VMware documentations says to not keep snapshots around for more than 3-5 days. If you go too long, coalescing (merging) the snapshot into the...

I have PBS as a VM in my PVE cluster. The PBS VM has two drives: One for the OS and one for the the backups. When I define the backup schedule, I exclude the PBS VM itself so it does not try to backup the backup files, creating a loop. Is this necessary? It there a better way to do this?

I've spent almost an entire day with no progress so I thought I would try here. I have a VM in Proxmox VE 7.3-4 running pfSense 2.6.-RELEASE. That VM has two Linux Bridges assigned to it with the "WAN" being my regular network (192.168.1.0/24) and the LAN being a different bridge...
