Hi guys, I want to share my GPU (Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080) between all of my VMs but the amount of shared GPU memory is 512MB but I want to increase this limit to 8GB! Can anyone help me?

Hello. How do you configure swap on porxmox host machine ? I read different recommendations from: turn off swap at all to keep asa it is. I have 64 Gb RAM and 16 is used by containers and 1Gb swap in the same time. Is it good or not ? What do you advice to do or not with swap ?

Hello, I noticed my Proxmox GUI Memory is on yellow: RAM usage 87.12% (82.17 GiB of 94.31 GiB) Using CLI free -h gives: total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 94Gi 70Gi 11Gi 1.2Gi 12Gi 23Gi...

Hi, I recently increased the memory in my home server and can see the full 32 GB in the bios but I am not able to get ProxMox to see more then 16. The system is a Ryzen 1700 with 4 8 GB dimms. The mother board is an Asrock Fatality x370 K4. I have checked through the bios but I do not see...

HI, I have set up a VM with 2GiB of memory [node6@09:31 ~]# qm config 108|grep mem hotplug: disk,network,usb,memory,cpu memory: 2048 [node6@09:32 ~]# But the guest claims it has only 1GiB memory Handle 0x1000, DMI type 16, 23 bytes Physical Memory Array Location: Other Use...

Hello! We are currently using a proxmox-server to virtualize about 20 windows machines (usually 6-8 hosts running concurrently). Currently, we are experiencing an issue with RAM-Allocation. We have 39.62% (24.91 GiB of 62.88 GiB) RAM usage and the SWAP usage is at 98.26% (12.16 GiB of 12.37...

Hi all I've got 3 x Windows Server 2012R2 VM with the following memory config: Min memory: 6144 MB Memory: 24576 MB My physical machine has 64 GB RAM. I've enabled ballooning, installed QEMU agent, installed the balloon service and driver on each VM. One VM uses around 2.63 GB RAM idle which...

I was experimenting with KSM. I wonder if it can work on PVE with lots of LXC containers running same apps. Eg.: lots of apaches. I've enabled ksmtuned with threshold of 50%, it seems to run=1, but pages_shared:0 means it's not sharing and full_scans:0 probably means it didn't even tried to find...

Hello, The balloon memory behavior in version 5.3 changed compared to 5.1. And not for good. I have a VM with a memory configuration like this: min memory 448mb max memory 16gb In Proxmox VE 5.1, the host provided memory to the guest machine as it was needed. Usually, it had 3gb, and when a...

Good Morning. I implemented a Proxmox server for testing in a company that provides consulting, what happens is: Server has 16gb RAM. Only Server 2016 x64 is currently installed. I can not work with 2 concurrent users in RDP and I have not been able to figure out what happens to the memory...

Hello, I've got a PVE cluster running Ceph and found out that a node, left alone without VM, will steadily use more RAM over time: This is a concern since my total available memory isn't infinite ;) I can reboot to solve the problem but it suppose that seems a bit Micro$ofty... I could...

I've a Proxmox system with Virtual Environment 5.2-10 with problem for start a new machine with 16GB ram- kvm: -object memory-backend-ram,id=ram-node0,size=8192M: cannot set up guest memory 'ram-node0': Cannot allocate memory After read message, I've investigated. On Proxmox interface y show...

I am doing my daily rounds (lol it sounds very official) and I noticed that my web interface was not responsive, I thought it was my laptop, it does that from time to time when I go from one place to the other, my firewall sometimes blocks me. So I rebooted my laptop and tried again, still the...

Hi, everyone I have a problem with the use of memory in my proxmox. The memory consumption is increasing while a backup task is in progress, and when finalize the backup job, remains high. I run only 3 containers and no VM in this server (is a Lenovo ST550). Kernel Version Linux 4.15.18-7-pve...

Hello, I'm seeing when I write a large file within a VM linux, I'm also filing up the VM systems memory. This memory is released when I delete the file. dd if=/dev/zero of=test1.img bs=512k count=1000000 Is this normal? Cheers

Hi, I use Proxmox version '5.1-38'. I've 30 containers and VM-s. I want to change swappiness variable from 60 to 15 on several containers and it says 'sysctl: setting key "vm.swappiness": Read-only file system'. I think I should to change this on node but I don't want. Can I change it on only...

I have seen a suspicious behavior of my GPU-passthrough VM (Linux) for quite some time. That is no matter how small the actual memory usage is (even when the ballooning is enabled), upon starting the VM, it will "try" to allocate the full memory (as configured). This doesn't mean that ballooning...

Hi guys! I have a cluster with proxmox, how I can see, which VMs use memory (RAM) on one node. command or something else...

I need to virtualize several dozen Windows 10 Pro boxes, does anybody know if the Virtio drivers do work and also how does the memory sharing works? I need to show 16G RAM per box, but naturally, I want to use only what is needed so I may overcommit.
