Hi there,
maybe someone of you could help me: I want to get a full memory dump of a Windows Server 2019 VM running on Proxmox VE 6.4-13.
I should be able to create the memory dump at a specific moment, during the VM is up & running...and I should be able to dump the memory without interrupting/rebooting the VM.
Is that possible with Proxmox and if yes...maybe someone could guide me and tell me, which commands to use on the CLI?

Thanks in advance & regards,
Mathias
 
you can do that via the qemu monitor

e.g. via the cli:
Code:
qm monitor ID
help dump-guest-memory # shows the usage of the command
dump-guest-memory -d /tmp/guest.dump
