Hello, I'm beginning using proxmox and looks very promising tool but some starter doubts arouse. Hope this is the right section to ask.
1) even after reading around here I still cant understand difference between stopping and shutting down a kvm
2) speaking about stop/shutdown, Ive noticed sometimes shutting down doesn't work, I get a timeout. I have Centos 7, Debian 8 and Windows 10 guest kvms. Cannot remember right now which one gave error, sorry, but I'd like to know because I think it's not always practical to log in each kvm guest and manually shutting down, is it?
3) if a proxmox node is given order to shutdown from the browser gui and there are still kvms turned on, what happens to these? Are they correctly turned off someway, or something bad happens?
4) is difference between clonning and backup/restore indeed just and only the middle step of creating a new vm beforehand for the later case?
5) the task logs in the bottom part of gui window seem to be always in utc. Is it that these logs read server's RTC, which is indeed in utc unlike server's system time?
6) if using firefox browser, can it be bad/risky to forget to log out before closing the browser? Even if logged as root? If so, what can I do to fix? I beg it's not to reinstall whole proxmox...........
