Evening Everyone,

1. I am having a Hotplug problem after thoroughly testing everything and was happy with the results. I'm about to go live with moving a bunch of VM's from VMware to Proxmox and the first machine I'm testing with for a fresh install has stopped allowing regular Hotplug items. I tested adding and removing disks, adding and removing DVDs, adjusting memory, changing network adapters, and all of a sudden the DVDs stopped functioning and same with adding and removing memory. Disks work fine and changing network adapters but I do not know the reason this occurred.
I have the VirtIO drivers installed and qemu guest agent running. I also confirmed the hotplug option is checked. I'm at a loss why this happened.
The only changes I made is that I added a subscription license and added the server to Active Directory.

2. I moved to a backup PVE that I use for testing and it doesn't have a subscription license nor on AD. The code error is below.
Code:
swtpm_setup: Not overwriting existing state file.
kvm: Address space limit 0xfffffffff < 0x507fffffff phys-bits too low (36)
stopping swtpm instance (pid 453233) due to QEMU startup error
TASK ERROR: start failed: QEMU exited with code 1

All machines that I turn on QEMU Agent is now having the problem. If I turn off QEMU Agent it continues to have this problem.
