configuration

Hi all, I have a new Proxmox installation that I have setup. I have 2x 128GB Supermicro SATA DOM's that I used for the installation. My plan was to partition them each with a 60GB and 50GB partition. Install Proxmox on two 60GB partitions as a mirror for redundancy. Then with the two 50GB...

Hi all, I am new to the forum and Proxmox and looking for some advice. In general, what are people doing with the root user on the system? Generally, I would always create a new sudo user and then disable root login but I have read on a couple of Reddit forums that this can cause problems...

First of all I would like to thank the Proxmox team for the great software and the nice community they built. I'm using a custom hook script (hookscript.pl) to manage VMs on a system with various GPUs passed through. The first motivation to do so is to avoid a VM (which requires a GPU) being...

Hi, i got some questions about the network configuration of Proxmox. I have a public static IP set for the proxmox server example: 123.123.123.200 I also have an IPv6 range available for free for all servers 2A02:5940:1210:2::/64 Currently the VM's cannot access the internet somehow. And have...

I recently got a great deal on a used Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF that I plan to run PVE 6.3 on. The system has a single M.2 NVME slot and only uses a single SATA power cable coming from the motherboard that splits out to a standard sized SATA power and a slimline SATA power that connects to the...

Hi all, I am looking to know if there is a fairly easy way to migrate my existing cluster from 1GB to 10GB network without having to tear everything down. I have a spare 10GB network port in each of my servers that I would like to use for the cluster network. Is there an easy way to do this...

Hi, I really hope somebody can help me. I'm new to proxmox and after successfully testing my workloads on it, I moved some important projects to the server and suddenly proxmox decides to stop working and now i can't access my data nor do i know how to retrieve it. I really hope i don't have to...

I am running PfSense on Proxmox as VM and I am running NTOPNG as LXC Container on same Proxmox server, I have created a Linux Bridge on Proxmox to PfSense. The problem I am running into is that ntopng is not detecting public network activity on those Linux Interfaces, it can only see local...

I have an old AMD Phenom x6 PC and figured I'd tinker around with it. My disks are as follows 3x1 TB (currently in zraid) 1x2TB 1x8TB ( newly acquired and shucked from a WD black) I don't need more than 5-6TB of storage atm. I'm thinking there is a way to mirror the 3 1TBs and the 2TB on the...

Hi everyone! I had a series of doubts regarding PVE, I wanted to make a script in order to backup the Proxmox configuration files, on the Proxmox Wiki, they explain that it is recommended to backup the /etc/pve /etc/network/interfaces /etc/passwd and /etc/resolv.conf. My question is, if I...

Hello, I need to connect 2 virtual machines directly through a "virtual network cable" without using a switch. Is this possible in Proxmox? Thanks in advance, C.

Hi, I finished upgrade to Proxmox 6 + Ceph Nautilus on 4 node cluster. On 2 nodes I have identified that all directories /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-<id>/ are empty after rebooting. Typically the content of this directory is this: root@ld5508:~# ls -l /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-70/ insgesamt 60...

Hi, is there a way to change the default way proxmox names the backups ? We have centralized system of backups for 3 differents proxmox and vm ID are not uniques. Thanks in advance, regards,

Hi guys, I am absolutely new to Proxmox and also have never installed/configured a virtualisation server for hosting several VMs. So, I heard and thought, Proxmox seems a good idea for that, especially, as I like Debian a lot. The system will be: Ryzen 7 3700X, 32 GB RAM, Gigabyte Mainboard, 1...

Hi, The title says it all, I've mistakenly rm -R /etc/pve/nodes on a quorated PVE 5.4 2-node cluster. The cluster still runs happily, and pvecm status looks fine and all. But corosync did its job thoroughly removing this directory from the two nodes. I guess the configuration is still in RAM...

Hi all, I'm hoping I can get some insightful input from this community. I'm looking at building out a new Proxmox cluster with Ceph as the backend. I'd like to get a couple of answers to see if this makes sense and if not where I should make changes. http://bit.ly/2XvgrXa Its a 2U 4 Node...

Hello, I install proxmox on my server, but I have no vmbr0 (only eth0). Is this normal? I intend to use an ip FO. Sorry for the fault, I'm French. Sincerely, Axel
