I am one of the (possible) flood of former ESXi users, who will not doubt be asking questions here during their migration attempts. I have my PVE setup, zfs, working zpools and most of my virtual machines imported from ESXi, I have one VM that is particularly large, and it is on its way to my...

So we are demoing Proxmox as a VMWare alternative for when the price increase finally hits us. I have moved a few VMs of lower importance and they seem to migrate and boot up with no issues by mounting the ESXI as storage and using the built-in import function. When I try with my Domain...

I tested several ways to import a Windows Server 2019 VM from ESXi (version 7), here are the configs I was able to test: - processor: host / Disk : prepared for VirtIO / BIOS : SeaBIOS (my machine has no UEFI on Vmware )/ Machine : by default(i440fx) / SCSI controller : VirtIO =...

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...

I'm moving from an ESXi to Proxmox setup. The ESXi server is still running and I'll be migrating VM's from that to the new Proxmox box. Existing ESXi has a large (16tb) drive that contains a lot of files that I will need to migrate to the new box. I have a 20tb drive for the new box plus an...

We are getting an error when trying to connect to VMWare storage: failed to spawn fuse mount, process exited with status 256 (500) This is only occuring on on one of 8 Proxmox nodes. The other nodes can access the storage fine and this particular one worked previously. Some output from...

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...

I wanted to check is it possible to migrate ESXi by replacing usb stick with the one with proxmox. It kinda worked but I have problem with detecting Mega RAID. This is Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX1330 M2 and it have FUJITSU PRAID CP400i on board. I also have TX2550 M4 with some newer RAID controller but...

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...

Hi, I'm having some trouble configuring the DHCP network interface with Proxmox VMs. Here is my network setup. Baremetal Server comes with ESXi 7 with one network interface (promiscuous mode enabled for vSwitch0). Here, I create two VMs. One pfSense 2.7.2 and Proxmox 8.1-2 ESXi Has two port...

Hi, I need some help, I want to migrate many servers from VMware Esxi to Proxmox, but I have obstacles for the migration such as VMs on Esxi must be shut down first. Is there a way to migrate VMs from Esxi to Proxmox without having to shut down the original VM first, can it be said that it is...
