Hi, I have a grip of ovf exports from a couple ESXi servers I need to import into Proxmox, and I was wondering if people have recommendations for flags to use during the import process I added devices manually on the first VM, which will be a pain if I have to do the next 10-12 of them that...

Hello everyone! I'm a Vmware refugee like I suspect many others are also. I'm converting my first customer over to Proxmox. I have a couple of esxi VMs with large disks, 10T or so. When using the esxi converter, does it treat empty disk space any different than occupied disk space? For...

Last week I started using this great product and I'm in progress of migrating all of my VMs to the new proxmox software. For this, I used the functionality to import the VMs from ESXi directly. This works fine for Linux, but for Windows I had some issues to keep the activation working. At first...

When trying to import from a slower ESXi host that has a larger number of virtual machines, 120-125 in my current situation, Proxmox fails to add the server in the storage list with a "Connection error - Timeout" message. This appears to be related to the 30 second timeout that is set in the...

Hallo Zusammen, wir haben einen Server mit 3 separaten Logical Volumes in Esxi. Soweit ich gesehen habe ist VMFS der Typ von den Logical Volumes. Wir würden gerne von esxi auf Proxmox umsteigen. Da es aber auf einfachem Weg für uns nicht möglich ist alle VM's auf einen Proxmox Server...

I am working on moving from a single free instance of ESXi to a single PVE server, using the same hardware.
As an interim step, I have installed PVE as a VM on the ESXi instance, and I am using a NFS share to import the VMs. The plan is to: Import all VMs from ESXi to the NFS volume, using the...

Let me preface this with the fact that we just updated our Proxmox host this morning. Last week after adding the <soap> parameters to ESXi's /etc/vmware/hostd/config.xml file, we were able to migrate some VMs to Proxmox. After updating our Proxmox host, we had a bunch of 'Find By Inventory...
