Hi all, I am trying to use the clone function to create a new VM. If I only execute the process once, it works fine. However, if I attempt to run it multiple times simultaneously, the following error occurs: At the time of the error occurrence, I tried to find PVE-related logs but couldn't...

Hey everyone! I'm still a bit new to this, and therefore sometimes a bit overwhelmed when it comes to one or the other topic, as a small disclaimer. Since it has been pointed out that VMs rather than LXCs should be used for docker containers, I would like to run a CouchDB as a docker container...

Hey allerseits! Ich bin noch etwas neu bei der Sache, und dementsprechend manchmal etwas überfordert wenn es um das ein oder andere Thema geht, als kleiner disclaimer. Nachdem darauf verwiesen wird, dass man eher VMs anstatt LXCs für docker container benutzen soll, würde ich gerne eine CouchDB...

Hi, I am pretty new to proxmox. I have one VM and I am getting an i/o error probably because LVM Thin is full. This is how it looks like. I have one 64 GB disk and 48 GB allocated to the one VM. How do I increase data? root@pve:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on...

Hi, I recently came to know about Proxmox. I know that to build HA cluster I need 3 servers working together on min 10G network. My question is how Proxmox creates shared storage to perform VMs migration? What kind of storage I need(SSD,HDD)? I am planning to purchase and build 3 server...

I'm a bit confused how do you specify where the VM image will be created - any pointers would be greatly appreciated. I've created an LVM RAID0 volume and mounted it at /media/RAID0POOL. Added this resource "Datacenter" -> "Storage". But when I try to create a VM I see no option to point...

Proxmox VE 7.4-17 I temporarily attached an external USB disk to my Proxmox node and added it to DataCenter->Storage in the GUI. I then attached a VM disk on this storage to a container (disk name is usbRetro:105/vm-105-disk-0.raw) Stupidly I removed the storage entry, forgetting that I still...

I just bought a brand new WD 2TB Elements portable drive, connected using both USB3 and USB2 but the drive does not show under Disks, the drive works fine on my windows machine? I get communications error, could it be the type of USB3 connector with the newer WD drives? I can see my old...
