Hi all, I am creating a VM with a centos iso installed as a CDROM (ide2) and the VM will not boot from cdrom. The seaBIOS sits there doing nothing. I am doing the same thing on proxmox4.4 and the VM boots just fine from the same iso. The VM options look the same on both proxmox 4.4 and 5.0...

The general consensus seems to be that reading and writing onto a USB often would wear down the flash drive quickly. However, I believe ESXi loads the hypervisor into memory on boot. What is stopping Proxmox from implementing a similar setup?

Occasionally we experience unplanned, spontaneous reboots on our Proxmox nodes installed on ZFS. The problem we are having is related to vzdump backups: if a reboot happens during an active vzdump backup that locks a VM, after reboot the locked guest will not start, and needs to be manually...
