Request for Enhanced Proxmox Server Management Features

[kmlmjt]

I am writing to request enhancements to our Proxmox server management capabilities to streamline our operations and improve efficiency.

Currently, we are managing multiple Proxmox servers in my homelab, and it would be incredibly beneficial for our workflow to be able to control these servers from a unified graphical user interface (GUI). This would allow us to efficiently monitor and administer all servers from a single GUI, saving time and reducing complexity in our daily tasks.

Additionally, we would greatly appreciate the ability to move virtual machines between these servers without necessitating their inclusion in a formal cluster. While we understand the advantages of clustering for certain scenarios, having the flexibility to transfer virtual machines between servers, even if it involves temporarily shutting down the machine, would provide us with greater agility in managing our resources.



We kindly request that you consider implementing these features in future updates or releases of Proxmox, as they would greatly benefit.

Look into remote migration. It's not exactly a howto, and it's an experimental feature.

FYI I wouldn't hold your breath for this feature request, it may be being worked on but could be some time.

You can already admin several servers from the same web browser with tabs. What you're asking for is already provided in the PVE GUI with at least a 2-node cluster (with Qdevice)

And you can backup a VM with the integrated Datacenter / Backup to shared storage / proxmox backup server, add that storage on unclustered machine #2, restore VM, power original VM down, power up duplicate VM. Depending on boot time, down time should be under 2-3 min.
