Hi, :)

my plan is to wake up my Server remotly with a different device. Immediately WOL came to my mind. The BIOS is set up correctly and the WOL Feature is enabled. Also i checked the interface with ethtool <interface_name> and the wake on is set on g as you can see below:

Code:
        Transceiver: internal
        Auto-negotiation: on
        Supports Wake-on: pumbg
        Wake-on: g

I heard in some forums that proxmox is turning off the network interfaces after the shutdown. Could be my Hardware also be the Problem? I have energy saving components like a 60 watt external power adapter, and a small form factor motherboard.

I hope you may have a solution for me, i do not know how to continue. :(
 
Sorry - not sure if i misread it - but the post does not indicate if you tried to send a WOL-magic packet to the your PVE-node?
if not - you need to have a device which is running on the same network-segment (same ethernet network) and able to send a WOL packet to the node's MAC-address.
(some routers can do so, pfsense has the functionality, on a linux-box you can install `wakeonlan`)
if you've tried it and it did not work - I'd check the BIOS settings again - PVE does not interfere with WOL (for clusters it has the ability to wake other cluster-members, and we do use it on our workstations, which run with PVE)

I hope this helps!

I've already tried to send a WOL-magic packet to the PVE-node. To be sure its clear what i want to do. My plan is to wake up the whole System not a node in a cluster or a single machine. i've searched the BIOS for more Options but i can't find anymore than the WOL Option.
