Hello, i've just spin up a Proxmox host to test it's potential, i've now installed several W10 and Linux VM, using the Stable virtio-win ISO, but using the latest qemu-ga ( to have the ip info on the dashboard) for the windows VM, while using the standard apt install qemu-guest-agent for the...

I'm using WHMCS and Proxmox, also I'm using the Proxmox Module Garden addon to create a VM after I accepted the order, then its automatically cloning the template. Everything works, except for assigning the IP to the network adapter. So I need to change the IP manually to get an internet...

Currently with VirtIO-SCSI (VirtIO-SCSI Single with threads) have max IOPS is ~1.8k-2.3k. But Virtio-blk-data-plane may have over 100k IOPS https://www.suse.com/media/white-paper/kvm_virtualized_io_performance.pdf May I switch to Virtio-blk-data-plane instead VirtIO-SCSI in Proxmox?

Hi, I've been doing some pre-production testing on my home server and ran into some kind of bottleneck with my storage performance, most notably on my optane drive. When I install a Windows vm with the latest VirtIO drivers the performance is kinda dissapointing. I've tried switching over from...

I freshly installed PVE 5.2 and have some issues w network: it worked well, then suddenly (while preparing VM for Graphics passthrough) I lost web-interface from external machine on same network. I managed to finish passing through GPU to one of VMs and webinterfece generally works from VM...

It should be possible to set a virtual disk drive to be backed by an SSD/Flash device. Virtio SCSI with SCSI, VirtIO and SATA drives should support this. Virtual box supports this since 2014, when can we expect this to happen in PVE? According to the upstream sources this should be possible...

Hi, since I upgraded my proxmox server to 5.3 and after installed a new Win7 VM, I'm facing with an issue. In the devices manager, a new uknown device appeared and for which there is no drivers found in the virtio driver iso. It seems this new device (qemuvgid) is linked to a PVE new feature ...

I recently set up pfSense in a Proxmox VM, and while it works as an OpenVPN endpoint, it has displayed a couple of odd issues when attempting to connect from the VM to the host (ie, to the Proxmox GUI.) When the VirtIO NIC is selected, I cannot connect to the Proxmox host (though, weirdly, I can...

Hi, I'm trying to migrate Windows Server 2016 from Hyper-V to Proxmox. I copy the vhdx disk file, convert it to qcow2/raw but when I try to boot it doesn't work. Guest can't find bootable hard disk. When I boot Win2k16 DVD and add virtio scsi driver I can see expected Windows partition scheme...

I need to virtualize several dozen Windows 10 Pro boxes, does anybody know if the Virtio drivers do work and also how does the memory sharing works? I need to show 16G RAM per box, but naturally, I want to use only what is needed so I may overcommit.

Hi, I'm hoping for some wisdom from people smarter than I am. I have a proxmox host which is also running DNSmasq for both the local network and Proxmox guests. I've been using the proxmox guests to trail PXE boot using tftp/http and NFS. All has been going well until I tried SystemrescueCD...

We run proxmox on Supermicro systems, using local storage, Intel SSD-disks in software RAID-10 + spare. I am aware of the fact that software-raid is not adviced, but we just love software raid :) We have done several tests and we have some problems with the so called "time to first byte" on...

Hello, I have been evaluating Proxmox in a small lab for nearly one year now. I decided to give it a try in production, for the upcoming W7 to W10 park migration. I never had any problem with W7 guests. Install works fine, and VM runs smooth. But despite a lot of time spent on this, I cannot...

Hallo, ich möchte gerne eine VM mit Windows server 2016 installieren. Mein Server hat zwei SSDs im Raid. Für die Festplatte nutze ich qcow2 aber was ist das beste IDE, SATA or Virtio? Sollte man discard aktivieren oder aus lassen? Ich habe kein LVM Speicher. Danke für jede Antwort, da ich...
