Hi everyone, I’m trying to understand how Proxmox handles shared block storage compared to VMware VMFS, and I’d like to ask for some clarification or best practices. In VMware, VMFS allows multiple ESXi hosts to mount the same LUN concurrently with read/write access, since it is a...

Hello, I have just installed proxmox on a dell r730 with a h730mini controller and 2 ssds in hba mode. I am trying to migrate few esxi vms but it is almost impossible. Some vms start the migration, proxmox starts copying quite fast but then half way the speed decreases dramatically, from 400mb/s...

Hello everyone! I'm a Vmware refugee like I suspect many others are also. I'm converting my first customer over to Proxmox. I have a couple of esxi VMs with large disks, 10T or so. When using the esxi converter, does it treat empty disk space any different than occupied disk space? For...

Hello everyone, After migrating a node from version 7.4-3 to version 8-2.4, one of the machines I had in Ceph has become inoperative because I am unable to access the hard drive. I would like to inform you that this is a machine that had been migrated from VMware ESXi 8.0 to my previous version...

Hello Proxmox Community! We have lots of costumers running esxi with a shared storage and fibrechannel san, who are willing to replace their hypervisor. And 99% of these customers have VEEAM in place as a backup solution. As VEEAM announced support for Proxmox, our customers are really...

Hi community, I am on the way to move my homelab from ESXi to Proxmox. I only have one server on which I have all my VMs. I plan to install Porxmox on this server (so I can not use the new built in converson tool taht connect to the ESXi) What are my option to migrate or export / convert my VMs...

Hello, I'm in the process of migrating from an old server running VMware ESXi version 5.x to a new server with Proxmox VE. I've reviewed the Proxmox wiki page and noticed that automatic import of a full VM was tested on ESXi versions 6.5 through 8.0. While planning this migration, I've...

First of all: thanks to the dev team for working hard to accomodate VMware users that possibly might convert to Proxmox! Probably I'm doing something wrong but so far it doesn't work for me. I've set up a ProxMox POC at work next to our VMware cluster. Obviously, first thing I did after reading...

Hello guys, I recently installed on VMWare esxi 8 on a VM for testing it. When I create a VM inside ESXI8, a error message appears saying that "VT-X is not supported". How can I disable it for that VM? Also, if you need more info, when installing it I used a boot argument...

Amazon is attempting to lock in their customers into their EC2 offering. I'm going to show you one way how to break that lock-in. Amazon purposely makes it as difficult as possible to migrate virtual machines off of EC2 and onto other formats. AWS REQUIRES that you invoke their command-line...

Hey everyone, Given the recent developments with VMware/Broadcom, we've noticed a surge in inquiries related to running Windows on Proxmox. To assist those transitioning away from VMware, we've thoroughly examined Windows Server 2022 storage controller compatibility, native driver support...

Hi, I was migrating VMs from Vmware to Proxmox using "qm importovf 105 ./db.ovf pve-ha-pool --format qcow2" command. I can migrate almost all the VMs successfully except for one. All VMs are different versions of Debian OS. Tried to change "BIOS" and "Hardware memory" settings as per other...

Hi all. VMware refugee here and new to Proxmox. I'm building a small business server and originally was going to configure the server like this: Install ESXi on a small SSD. Create Ubuntu VM that lives on the default datastore. Passthrough a SAS HBA to the Ubuntu VM. Create a ZFS pool and...

I've created an ESXi 8 guest inside of PVE 8. And I have two questions: Is there a guest agent that's capable of running on the ESXi guest? Should the "QEMU Guest Agent" option be enabled in the VM's system tab? TIA, Eric Pretorious Reno, Nevada
