Bonjour all, I'll be retiring 3 Dell 650XS from their current jobs soon™, and I would like to put them in a CEPH HA NVMe backed cluster. Currently, those servers are running a SATA/SAS backplane with a PERC H755 running the show. My plan would be to replace that with a NVMe backplane and a...

Hello! I'm looking to host about 200 vms tops with a mixture of windows and VMs, ideally being about 4vcpu's and 8gb RAM each for very basic functionality. 32-60gig disk space TOPS, was wondering if people here had suggestions regarding hardware configurations for this setup? If I had to say...

Hello everyone, I'm experiencing a recurring network failure on a Proxmox VE host using a Broadcom NetXtreme-E 100G NIC (BCM57504). The NIC stops transmitting, triggers a TX timeout, and then fails to reset correctly. After that, the interface is disabled and vmbr0 loses connectivity until the...

Hi everyone, I’m trying to install Proxmox VE (8.x and 9.1) on a Dell PowerEdge R730xd, but the system reboots consistently during the installer boot (USB installer). It reaches the Proxmox menu, sometimes even starts loading the kernel, and then reboots. What I’ve already tried: Different...

The current NAS series from Ugreen seems to be a good platform for a small home setup, but I am struggling a bit with choosing the right disk constellation. I am planning with the DXP4800 (Intel N100 4 cores, 8 GB RAM) and installing PVE on it. The main consideration here is power efficiancy...

Liebe Community, ich setze betrieblich bereits seit einiger Zeit erfolgreich Proxmox auf diversen Dell-Servern ein. Die Plattform hat mich überzeugt, weshalb wir aktuell Schritt für Schritt unsere verbliebene VMware-Landschaft durch Proxmox ersetzen – auch wenn unsere Anforderungen dort nicht...

Hey all! I just installed four brand-new unopened WD Red SA500 2TB SSD drives for a completely new Proxmox server. Although the drives are brand new, I had them in storage for a while because they were bought for another project, but never used. However, when I first plugged them in proxmox, I...

Hallo zusammen, bin schon länger aus dem Hardwaredschungel raus und wäre dankbar über Einschätzungen, Beratung und Tips. Ich plane evtl. meinen Server zu ersetzen. Dazu erstmal derzeitige Randdaten und Nutzungsverhalten: Fujitsu Primergy TX2450 M1: Genutzte Software: Nun ist mein...

I was thinking about build my home server in order to run Proxmox on it. That's the chassis I'd like to use: SilverStone RM44 Any suggestions about a good motherboard with 1 CPU socket (better with 10Gbit ethernet and NVME support)? What about CPU? Intel or AMD? What model?

Hello, I'm a little bit confused when it comes to the terms Sockets, Cores, vCPUs in Proxmox. I checked older forums but they only helped confuse me more xD So as far as I understand Socket defines the number of processors I have (For example: 2x AMD Ryzen™ 5 PRO 3600 means I have 2 sockets)...

Hey all!, I’m banging my head here, so any help would be much appreciated. This – I believe – is a mix of Proxmox and TrueNas issue, so feel free to point me in the right direction. As a base, I have a Dell PE R740xd with 18 LFFs and HBA330. The system is configured with two (2) SATA SSDs...

Hey everyone, I'm running into a bit of a snag here. I've got three identical Supermicro servers, and after a fresh install of PVE 8.1.4 on all of them, the networking service just won't kick in when they boot up. I've attached the log for the networking service so you can see what's going on...

Hello everyone, I am buying new hardware for our company and we will go with proxmox (goodbye forever vmware). Our local reseller offered a really nice server hardware with U3 nvme ssd which we will most probably buy. However, the server only supports one onboard M2 nvme, so he suggested...

Greetings all, I am new to Proxmox and currently investigating the possibility of setting up a scalable virtual infrastructure using Proxmox VE and have what is probably a very "noob" sort of question. Is there a requirement for the hardware nodes in a cluster to be matching (i.e. CPU, RAM...

Hello, I changed PBS server hardware, moved two RAIDZ1 disks with host system and LSI SAS3008 with 24 HDD RAIDZ2 backup storage to a new motherboard. Everything works fine except "Show SMART volume" button. Now it gives error: " Bad Request (400) command "smartctl" "-H" "-A" "-j" "/dev/sde"...

Hi everybody I'started reading here some weeks ago and had my first touching points with proxmox (PVE). But know I'm somehow confused and not shure about how to proceed. Maybe I can get some help here (hope I'm in the right place)... I had an Server 2012R2 bare metal (SSD system disk) on an...
