Good night people. I'm looking for a way to migrate 400vm+ from one cluster to another and unfortunately proxmox doesn't have a native tool for that. (cluster 01 for cluster02). I found this tool, has anyone used it? https://pypi.org/project/proxmove/ Could I for example move the disk image of...

What’s the expected behavior here? I have a 3-node cluster with dedicated physical corosync network, and a 2nd faster network for storage and networking. The corosync network is configured to failover to the fast network if interrupted. High availability is configured on guests with shared...

If you have a thin provisioned disk (say 128GB), but the actual size of the disk is only 6GB after install, why does proxmox need to physically move 128GB of data when migrating a disk to another network storage location (even though the file is 6GB)? What is the limitation here? It does not...

Hello Everyone, I have inherited a Proxmox environment where there are some lxc. Are there any possibilities to export lxc or is there a procedure to prepare the lxc for a infrastructure migration? I would like to avoid rebuilding and porting the application inside. Thanks a lot!!

I have a problem by converting OpenVZ container to LXC. It don't starts. Attach a history of commands and logs root@vps2:~# pct restore 102 vzdump-130.tar --storage=local-lvm --ostype=centos --unprivileged recovering backed-up configuration from 'vzdump-130.tar' Logical volume "vm-102-disk-0"...

Hi everyone, I'm currently running a 3-node ganeti cluster (CentOS, KVM) and I'm considering to move to proxmox. But before I setup a proxmox host I wantedto ask if somebody has already managed to successfully migrate VMs from ganeti to proxmox? Or is there some other documentation on how to...

I have a three node cluster with ZFS running on each node and aside from disk space and utilization everything runs great, migrations work, backup to NFS, snapshots, the one thing that has me in a jam is disk space, so I decided to migrate all VMS from one node consolidating to two and using the...

Hey all. I'm looking to migrate to Proxmox. I'm currently running an Ubuntu 18.04 host as my KVM host server with LVM LVs(Raw Guests) as my backend. If I was to migrate Proxmox, would I be able to import my existing LVM backend as a VM guest source?

Moin, ich bin ja gerne unendlich faul und lasse die Büchse beim Neustarten die VMs selbst verschieben und neu wieder reinholen. Im Testcluster (homelab) habe ich das ähnlich wie hier: Mein Gedanke war, dass die VM ein festes Zuhause hat und bei Bedarf _random_ verteilt wird, nämlich da, wo...

Hallo zusammen, wir betreiben einen Proxmox-Cluster bestehend aus mehreren Hosts mit Epyc 7702P + 512GB RAM + 2x 960GB SSDs (Boot) + 4x 3.84TB DC SSDs (Storage/Ceph). Auf drei der Hosts habe ich nun Ceph (via GUI Installer) installiert. Die Hosts sind über einen 25Gb Switch redundant...

I have servers with different CPU models in a cluster. So, want to create the config file /etc/pve/virtual-guest/cpu-models.conf with common flags for all my CPU. Is there any tool in Proxmox to automate this task? Manually compare flags and create config is a very long and error prone task...

Hello together, I just want to share an experience with migration of one of our servers which resulted in bsod right just before login screen appears. First of all, thanks for proxmox and its availability. We started with multiple test VMs and productive VMs being itself part of a testsytem...
