    Storage space issues after moving my virtual machine disks

    I moved my virtual machine disks from one volume to another on the same Proxmox server. After moving them, I deleted the original disks, which were listed as unused, but the storage space occupied during the migration process hasn't been freed up. What could be the cause? I've also checked for...

    I have a few virtual machines currently on ESXi that I need to move to my Proxmox server. These VMs are large, having multiple virtual disks, some of which are 2TB. The migration tool seems to be capped at 1Gbps, so migrating with the migration tool isn' really possible without incurring...

    Hello, I have a Proxmox cluster built with 4 servers and HA configured. Now, a question that might sound silly: In the event of one server failing, all virtual machines are migrated to another server in line with the policy, which is obvious. However, will these virtual machines shouldbe...

    Hi, Today we tried rebooting our nodes one per one. We used the ha-manager crm-command node-maintenance enable like we did several times before. However, this time it seemed to migrate too many vms to the same node which caused this node to crash due to it's memory usage. I just read some...

    ERROR: online migrate failure - Failed to complete storage migration: block job (mirror) error: drive-efidisk0: Input/output error (io-status: ok)

    I've been giving "remote migration" a try for the first time today, moving machines live from a single host running ZFS to a new cluster running CePH. It worked tremendously well—without issues and on the first try—for all VM's but one, which always fails with the following errors. I tried...

    Live migration mac address release issue

    We are testing the live migration on 8.3.0 between both clusters and we're running into one issue we can't seem to find a good resolution to. Whenever we migrate a machine it can't pull networking because for some reason the arp table on the source is still holding on to the mac address. We've...
