What are some strategies that people use to backup/clone/automate/etc OS disks and configurations? I've read a number of threads on this topic - varying from clonezilla backups, automated config managers, zfs send cron jobs and many more. Many are outdated and I am curious if there are more...

HI, Is there any way in proxmox to disable all VMs in HA altogether? Thank you

Hello, I personally operate a hyper converged cluster on Proxmox and was looking for a solution to implement load balancing for VMs and LXC in my environment. In the process, I came across this project https://github.com/cvk98/Proxmox-memory-balancer which covers exactly what I want to achieve...

Please forgive me in advance. I'm fairly new to Proxmox and I am overcoming some new user issues... I have a single Proxmox PVE 8.0.3 server. On it I have 1 VT (Debian12-Jellyfin) and 3 VMs (Ubuntu-TrueNAS, FreeBSD-OPNsense, and WinServ2022-BlueIris). OPNsense is on a separate NIC card and the...

I have upgraded about a week ago to PVE 8.0 and haven't messed with my LXC containers after the upgrade, but when I added another interface to an LXC container and try to remove it, I found out that I cannot do that due to an SDN issue? The error I get is: - no sdn vnet ID specified (500) This...

Hello All, I am currently working on some hosts that have 8x 600GB 10k SAS drives and am planning on using these to install Proxmox and use the rest for CEPH. Is there a best way to split out these drives by filesystem? Should I use the RAID controller on the server or is it better to use the...

After upgrading PVE from version 7 to 8, I noticed that I could select integrated graphics in the PCI options. After adding this PCI device to the Windows virtual machine and starting it, I lost access to the PVE management interface. After restarting PVE, the monitor goes black shortly after...

Hello everyone, I have a question about whats the best was to manage User, specifically PAM users on a Proxmox Cluster. Say I have a Proxmox Cluster and a Loadbalancer for the WebUI. When I would try to login into the WebUI via PAM I don't know which node I am currently connected. I know that...

I have added ZFS storage by going Datacenter -> Storage -> Add, choosing a zfs pool (in this case hdd-pool) and entering an Id (hdd-pool-test-16k) and entering a 16k block size (just experimenting with performance). After that, when choosing the storage tree item under the Datacenter -> Node ->...

Hi guys, i have a single debian with guest-agent, running as a VM on a 3 node-cluster (each node has 2 OSD's building the ceph-cluster (rpool1)). When i tried to online-migrate the VM i got (you'll notice later that the disk does not lay on the local-storage but on the ceph (pool1), and this...

Hello every ! I searched on google and youtube but I did not really find the answer to my questions. So here it is, I have a server with Proxmox installed on it, with a 5Tb RAID And on another rack I have a server with a NAS installed on it (about 22Tb) Now I would like to create VMs that...

Hello all, I have a backup of a ct/lxc that is hundreds of GB big - it's stored on my Proxmox Backup Server. Most of the data is stored in a mount point, and I would like to restore the ct/lcx without this mp. Is it possible to restore the ct/lcx without a specific mp or directory path in the...

Hallo, Ich möchte meinen PBS außerhalb meines Heimnetzwerkes aufstellen, damit ich ein offsite Backup habe. Die Backups sollen natürlich verschlüsselt übertragen werden. Wie kann ich das machen? Hoffentlich kann mir einer Helfen :)

Hi there, I am currently running PVE 7.4 (Manager version pve-manager/7.4-13/46c37d9c) with Kernel Linux 6.2.11-2-pve on two boxes, one big and one small, in an advanced homelab type of setup. Everything is running great and smoothly, with lots of VM and some LXC containers. I would like to...

hi, i have a proxmox server installed years ago and upgraded from 4.x up to 7.3 currently. the server was installed in legacy bios mode. firmware upgrades are not supported in this mode, so i would like to migrate to uefi. it is a single node installation (home server) with a couple of VMs on...

Hello Everybody I have a Proxmox version 7.3-3 and I have a problem. I have two virtual machines, both Windows Server 2019. In the VM interface called StarSoft it shows that the memory is more than 90% full, but in the second virtual machine the memory is OK. When I enter the task manager...

I have a PVE host running with two NICs. I only use one at the moment and it has three virtual bridges. NIC1 has an untagged network (home network) and two tagged VLANs (VM network and VM isolated network). The purpose is that I can create VMs that can access my LAN (home network) and create...

Hi, Does anyone know of a command i can run, or even a full fix, that will allow a PVE node to gracefully recover its SMB/NFS connections? Every time I take my storage array offline to do maintenance, PVE refuses to connect to the array again until I reboot them or delete & re-create the...

Hello guys, I updated my PVE Cluster yesterday to the newest Ceph Version and did not notice any issues at first. The VMs and CTs do run normally, I can read and write to the virtual disks, even create new ones, just fine! Migrating between Nodes also works, as well as deleting CTs... But...

I currently backup my VMs to the local data-store on PVE, works great. Recently, I have added PBS into the mix, but am struggling to figure out how to integrate it into my infrastructure in a meaningful way. There are two options I see, but am unable to figure out how to implement either...
