migration

Hello, I plan to upgrade my hardware with new cpu, motherboard and ssd. Actually I have an old i7 6700k and I struggle with. My upgrade will be a ryzen 9 7900 and enterprise class SSD (Kingston DC600). My current SSD have a partition for OS and for VM. My plan is to move VM to an other drive...

Hi all, I am on Proxmox 9.0.10, with 2 servers in my cluster. I have a relatively large VM disk, which fails on live migration every time. The initiating HV is LVM and the destination is ZFS. I have attached the full migration log, but the error is mainly channel 4: open failed: connect...

[GUIDE] High-Speed, Low-Downtime ESXi to Proxmox Migration via NFS Hello everyone, I wanted to share a migration method I've been using to move VMs from ESXi to Proxmox. This process avoids the common performance bottlenecks of the built-in importer and the storage/downtime requirements of...

Hi. I've recently added an LVM thick storage to my PVE cluster which is a LUN shared between 4 of 5 nodes and everything works just fine except VM migration. I migrated VM from the 5th node which only has local storage to different node and shared LVM storage. Now I can't migrate it back. When...

Hi ! I have a 3 node cluster on Proxmox and one of the Hosts has some issues I couldn't identify till now. To have my VM save I wanted to put it onto a dedicated (external) NFS where the VM is hosted so that I can easily move the VM between by cluster. If I do the migration between the 2 "good"...

Is it possible to define a migration type per VM so that it's always applied to that VM? I have some VM's that I always need to be offline migrated for a few reasons (one is for example a connected PCI device, which is available on all nodes). For this VM's I would like to specify that, if they...

Hello all! This is the first time I've used the migrate feature. I have two nodes in a cluster, and I was looking to move all containers from Node 1 to Node 2. I used the bulk migration option, and it migrated more than half of the containers that I have. However, for some reason, there are a...

Hello, I am having an issue with the live migration option in Proxmox. I am getting ready to migrate off of ESXi 8 and move over to Proxmox. We are currently in the testing phase and have a few test VMs in the ESXi environment and a lab PVE cluster setup to emulate what we want our production...

Hi everyone, we’re currently facing an issue after migrating a legacy SCO OpenServer 6 virtual machine from VMware to Proxmox. Here's what we’ve done so far: Successfully converted the original .vmdk file to .qcow2 using qemu-img. Created a new VM in Proxmox and attached the converted .qcow2...

We are in the process of migrating from VMware to ProxMox. We have a Primary site and a Secondary site in case the 1st one fail. To ensure proper design, we are questioning how we should setup the storage of the SANs (iSCSI) for proper failover redundancy. We did a lot of reading, but no...

Hi Forum, I am new to HA and have a running setup for two months now. From the experiences that I have gathered it looks like live-migration using a HA group fails on almost all VMs and CTs with a database (sadly almost everything I have). These were the result of changing the HA group...

Hi, I have a ProxMox node running 7.4-20 on bare metal which has a container whose Root Disk image is on a local Directory type volume. I recently bought a new server and installed ProxMox 8.4.1 on that (also on bare metal) and would like to migrate my container to that including putting the...

Good Morning/Evening, I didn't think I'd ever have to but I have several VMs running on one physical disk that I want to move to another datastore on another disk. I can move the storage one at a time through the web ui but I was wondering if anyone knows of a faster method? This will be...

Hi, I’m experiencing very slow disk migration in my Proxmox cluster when moving a VM disk from FlashME5 (iSCSI multipath + LVM) to CephStorage (RBD). Migration from Ceph → FlashME5 is fast (~500–700 MB/s), but in reverse (FlashME5 → Ceph) I only get ~200 MB/s or less. Environment: Proxmox 8.x...

Hello, I am currently having a problem with mail notifications, I have 3 servers: pve-server-01, pve-server-02 and pve-server-03(This last one is only used as a quorum device). A few months ago I configured the notifications using an SMTP server(Gmail) in Datacenter->Notifications and until...

Hi, I'm newbie. I want to migrate VM to another node on same cluster. But when i go to target storage, "permission denied" message appears. Please help me and sorry for my bad english. Thank a lot

Hello I've been using Hyper-V for years, but since Microsoft no longer offers free Hyper-V since Windows Server 2022 and I couldn't figure out how to configure VLANs on the single active host NIC, AND Windows Server 2019 didn't have drivers for the second NIC, I finally decided to migrate to...

Hello! We're about to move mail from one 365 tenancy to another and we'd like to minimise downtime and NDRs. I was hoping to have mail delivered to pmg which would then hold it until we can release it, pointed at the new location. I'm sure I've done this before but I don't remember how - maybe...

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...

Hey all, Action Taken: - Cluster Created - 2x VM's Migrated To New Host Issue: - Disk storage totals don't seem to add up (pretty sure I'm just reading this incorrectly?) Host disk is 240 GB so this thing should be over capacity?
