This can be done gradually, but needs a bit of care. We're currently in the process of finishing a migration helper tool and providing documentation for how to do this.
I do not condone trying to circumvent vendor's protection put in place to prevent what you are trying to do.
That said, I'd be somewhat surprised if MAC was the only thing that they go by.
Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage...
Hi @kawano-y ,
I think OP may have moved on as this thread is from July 2025. But it is always nice to know what the resolution was!
Cheers
Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox
There are a number of different threads to pull here. Nutanix had the benefit of original physical host, and as you can see from the config, it is also obfuscating that the OS is now virtualized. The MAC address may have been the last piece for...
Thanks for looking into it. I'm surprised that no one else has had this issue as it seems to be due to the size of the cluster. I know there must be lots of customers with even larger cluster sizes than mine.
Hopefully this fix gets included...
Thanks again. :)
I'm likely going to have to read through that several times to get really comfortable with it. I'm still fighting a bit with getting the permissions set correctly on the non-root administrator user I've created on the PVE node...
Microsoft is still catching up with NVMe/TCP, and we've encountered PSODs on ESXi in the past related to NVMe/TCP connections.
iSCSI is extremely mature and broadly supported. As mentioned, it may make sense in more scenarios than initially...
This should be the same for VMs and CTs as the HA Manager handles affinity rules the same for both. In a quick test, the migration blocker with the same node affinity rule as above was shown to me for both VMs and CTs, so I couldn't move either...
For a laptop it is better suited than PVE - from my own limited experience. I have it on a Dell XPS15 and Qubes lets me run a highly secure environment. Each Xen Domain is similar like a VM. I have separate ones for...
I am not a Nutanix expert, and I am aware that is more blackbox type of a solution. That said, it is running QEMU/KVM, similar to PVE. There could be a way to get more data on how the VM is started via CLI. There has to be a way to backup/export...
Virtual machine support is better classified first by CPU architecture rather than by the guest OS itself. At this point, the relevant architectures are x86 and ARM.
The next question is whether the guest OS supports the virtual hardware...
Been running latest version of Proxmox on Dell 10/11/12/13/14/15-gen servers without issues. These servers were previously running VMware.
Just make sure to run the latest firmware (NIC, BIOS, disk controller, iDRAC, etc, etc).
If going to use...
Yes, same mac address. I have tried it many times. I am going to try again after finding some more info. The biggest difference is that Nutanix I can set the IP address. So I have now set it hard in the Nutanix VM and I will try and move that...
