migration

I'm trying to migrate a few ancient openvz containers to LXC. After much trial and error I have finally managed to install a working version of vzdump on the old openvz host and dumped the containers, and was able to import them in Proxmox with the --ostype unmanaged, as the containers are...

I am super new to Linux and ProxMox. I will keep this as short and to the point as possible. My ProxMox server died. It was running on a DELL 7060. I transferred all the hdds from the broken machine to another DELL 7060. I can see it booting up and I can even get into the console from the...

Dear Experts, hope you are doing good. I am using VPS from one vendor which is based on Proxmox. Now I got the dedicated Server and installed proxmox on it. Could you please guide me how I will migrate my VPS from my vendor to my own Proxmox Server Any help will be highly appreciated...

Hello, We have a 8 servers Proxmox 6.1-5 cluster (last updated 2 days ago) that is configured for HA with "shutdown_policy=migrate". However we noticed that this sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, having a VM with HA enabled running on a host that is rebooted or powered off can result in...

I have one issue... When I migrate a VM's disk from one Ceph storage pool size 2 to another Ceph storage pool size 3 it occupies the maximum capacity configure for the disk in the target Ceph storage, despite the real use of that disk is only a few gigabytes. The attached images are very...

Hi! I have a OVH dedicated server. Unfortunately the model I have purchased only have a template for installing Proxmox 5 without ZFS. It has 4 disks, 2 of SSD and 2 SATA, OVH template installs OS on the two SSD disks. Anyway to migrate everything to ZFS? I have another Proxmox server with...

Proxmox Community I wondering what peoples thoughts are about these two Hypervisors? I am drawn to both because of their Open Source ethos and also for ability to enable the smaller people to utilize Virtualization technology. I initially tried Esxi and it's the most hear of hypervisor I have...

Good morning everyone, I was experimenting and playing around with my Proxmox 3 node cluster. I was testing HA more specifically. Each server has 2x300GB drives in Raid-1. Nothing complex but something easy for me to pilot and learn on. I only have a Local and Local-LVM stoage. I did add...

My config is: 3 nodes configured to hyperconverged (cluster+ceph+ha), two netwoks (one for services and one for ceph). All ISOs, templates and disks (for VMs and CTs) stored in Ceph. One of the three nodes was not installed with Zfs but with Ext4. The issue: After you migrate a VM or CT to...

Hi Folks! I'm trying out Proxmox VE ( 6.0-9 ) plus Linstor Plugin as a Datacenter Virtualization Solution for the company I work for. So far, pretty good. I've found a glitch though, and as I dont really know if it's about proxmox or about Linstor + ZFS, I'll post this in both communities. My...

In Proxmox PVE 6.X I've noticed some odd behavior within the GUI when attempting to migrate an NFS mounted LXC container. I wonder if someone can repeat so I might be able to determine if this is an internal issue on my end or a bug I should report. Note: Migration of the Container is working...

Hello, We have some virtual machines on our proxmox enviorment and a cluster of about 8 servers. Each server is configured with thin lv like the VMS. The fact is that, when we live migrate a VM from a server to an other we see like 3 phases: 1st fase. On this first phase the migration is slow...

I'm migrating from local storage to NFS. I powerdown the container before migration and start the storage migration. Some containers (about 30% I gues) fail. I see the .raw file being created on NFS (and in the proxmox progress dialog). Next the rsync starts and seems to finish (I see a speedup...

Hallo zusammen. Ist es möglich die Migration, gerne auch offline, ohne Shared-Storage zu nutzen, dass also bei der Migration gleichzeitig automatisch das Image auf ein lokales Medium einer anderen Node umgezogen wird? Wenn ich das ohne Shared-Storage versuche, dann bekomme ich die Meldung...

Hey all I have set up a small cluster on used hardware for a in-house labb environment. its setup with the linstor plugin. I have had some huge problems with vm's that i choose to dd straight to the first host. its seems that if i create a disk from start and do a manual debian install, the...

We have 4 Proxmox host servers and two different NFS servers for VM storage. We usually we manually distribute the VM storage load between them. The two NFS storage servers are all flash and have 10 gig connections to our ProxMox hosts. A few times a year we need to update the firmware on our...

Hallo, ich bin ein eher stiller Mitleser und Selbstlöser durch bekannte Beiträge, aber irgendwie komme ich hier nicht weiter: Was ich möchte: VMs und CTs von einem alten Node zu einem neuen Node umziehen. Mein Problem derzeit ist, dass das local-zfs zu klein ist (< 30GiB) um größere VMs zu...

Hello Everyone, is there a way to migrate a lxc container to a KVM? I would appreciate your help and tips :) Greetings, Alex

Greetings Proxmoxians! I've got a Proxmox network question that I hope someone can answer as I can't seem to find a clue myself. I've read through forums, best practices and the Admin Guide. There are 4 servers in a cluster. However, Ceph is not going to be used in this deployment, because...

We currently have a single machine Proxmox setup with 1 VM inside. The hardware is getting old and needs to be replaced. Typically, we would: 1) Prepare the new machine 2) Stop the VM on the old machine 3) Backup the VM 4) Transfer the VM 5) Start the VM on the new machine 6) Change all the IPs...
