Shouldn't matter, it's all software updates it'll just install it to wherever sda is. I wouldn't use USB boot if it's a production server if you have a dedicated drive to boot the server with.
For a reference, this is my Gen9 server the boot...
Does it boot if you install a plain vanilla Debian 13 on it? Does it even boot into the USB installer or does it do the same thing? I feel if you can't get to those points it's no longer a software problem.
For reference I'm running similar...
I have a fleet of Gen9, Gen10, Gen11 and Gen12 servers all running Proxmox v9 no issues all on EFI boot. Just use the pve8to9 tool and see what it says.
Depends.
Rsync should be pretty good at batching metadata over slow networks. AFAIK the bottlneck should be the storage metadata performance.
PBS on the other hand reads ALL you lokal data, and creates a hash. So you lokal storage and CPU...

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to install Proxmox VE 8.4 and I'm running into an error during installation that won't let me proceed.
Right after launching the installer from USB, I get this message:
*Error loading kernel modules from...
I have a 4 node cluster of 8.4. I am upgrading by clearing all the VMs off of a host. Then I shut that node down. I run the command on another node to remove the node from the cluster (pvecm delnode nodename). Then I clean up by running the...
I've been working on implementing services on a currently single hypervisor for my friend and one thing that was required in the design plan was a proper backup/recovery method for the hypervisor itself. [Offsite backups of VMs are already setup...
Posting this because I have a fairly clean reproducer and I can't find an existing thread for it.
(please also forgive that I've been using Claude to troubleshoot this and summarise the post here)

Reducing the number of recent backups to sync will help, but also not as much as you would hope. As I understand it, even if you only sync the very last backup, that backup is small at the source only because it's storing changes from the backup...
Hi Proxmox Community
I have a NAS machine that I recently installed Proxmox on, and had to install version 8 due to boot issues (some message about efi boot files).
The machine is an HPE microserver gen 8, and from some digging online I found...
Thanks for all of your help Impact!
I went ahead and made both of my nodes static. The node in question is working well now. I went ahead and disabled the onboard NIC in the bios, rebooted, ran ip a, then edited my /etc/network/Interfaces...
I know this doesn't answer the question directly, but to overcome this I have setup a local PBS to which I backup my machines locally.
From this local PBS I sync to a remote PBS instance. This offsite PBS is behind a slow connection (VPN over...
So I probably have a somewhat unique setup. I use Cover bootloader to boot into my ZFS mirror boot partition. This is because my box can't boot NVMe otherwise. I know for a fact my system was using systemd-boot in 8, I believe it was the only...
Hello, I am relatively new to Proxmox and virtualization in general and wanted some advice regarding networking performance with the card mentioned in the title, they are Oracle-branded Mellanox Connect X-3 cards cross flashed to Mellanox...
In the past, we did the same, but with thick-LVM of all storage space and use the ZFS-over-iSCSI appliance for all stuff, that needs a snapshot. We migrated the VM online to the other storage, did the intended stuff and migrate it back.
IIRC...
