I have a home assistant running on a dell wyse 5070. All working perfect with my own dashboard theme . Loaded home assistant vm on proxmox and wanted to migrate my home assistant to proxmox vm, no joy. HA vm installed fine on proxmox but unable to migrate old HA from dell. Tried every youtube video i could find on youtube about trying to change ip and mac address with no success. Unable to change mac address in proxmox, the ok button is greyed out. Does anyone have any solutions?
Also why is the windows vm running so slow and stalling? Followed all the guides available.
 
Hello,

Maybe you can test with one of the procedure in this documentation to try to convert your dell server to a Proxmox VM (the clonezilla method work well) : https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Advanced_Migration_Techniques_to_Proxmox_VE#Clonezilla_Live_CDs

Normally you can change your MAC address from the GUI, but for the IP you have to changed it in your windows settings in the VM.

For the performance problem, maybe can you share your VM configuration (CPU, RAM, Disk) ? Have you installed virtio drivers in the VM ?
 
Thanks for the replies I will try those threads. I am trying to change the Mac address of the HA vm not the proxmox.
I am wondering if I cannot change the Mac address of HA, maybe because the solo M4 pro has a motorcomm ethernet adapter which is not recognised by proxmox. Having to use a usb adapter to connect to internet at present. Have not been Able to find a thread yet where I can update to motorcomm and remove usb. I am a complete beginner with proxmox and just starting out. The reason I don't use the dell server is because I have my Homeassistant running on it, hence the change of Mac to move it to soyo pc.
 
Normally you can edit the MAC in the proxmox GUI via the hardware of your VM, modifying your Network Device. I never had an issue where the "OK" button is grey when modifying the MAC except when I configure a wrong MAC address.

Maybe you can post some screenshots with the MAC your trying to configure.
