Spice Connections unresponsive to input after a few minutes idle

I'm using virt-viewer to access VM's on proxmox via spice from Windows 11. It works great for about 2 minutes, but as soon as it is left idle for a few minutes the vm becomes completely unresponsive to input via spice - however the output still appears to be getting refreshed. The vm is otherwise functioning normally and the gui works fine via the proxmox web interface console. I've looked at the output of running virt-viewer using:

Hello Everyone!

I've been trying Proxmox recently on a server and I'm having a rather unusual problem with the web management interface.

I created a 'Linux Bridge' to have an internal switch (similar to what i'm used to in Hyper-V) and I want to assign a local ipv4 and ipv6 to that interface that will be routed through a complex internal vpn network that has dual-stack internal ips.

If i try to setup a 10.0.0.x ip address alone it will accept it just fine but whenever I try to setup a...

New to proxmox - NFS and licensing questions

$

Hi all,

With recent VMWare changes we are looking if Proxmox may be a suitable replacement for our deployments. Having browsed the product pages, and support forums here, a few questions remain. Hoping that the experienced crew can chime in :)

We like to leave redundancy to the storage level; i.e. using MPIO/multipathing and relatively basic network infrastructure, instead of depending on LACP/MLAG. While there seems to be iSCSI multipath support (albeit possibly only configurable through...

Hi All,

I am not an experienced Linux engineer but this has become my problem to try and fix.
I upgraded one node on a 3 node cluster from 7.4.17 to 8 following this guide:
Upgrade from 7 to 8 - Proxmox VE

The upgrade was only done on one node. I followed all steps in the guide carefully. After rebooting the one node that was upgraded the whole site became unresponsive.
Ceph is not working even though I have 2 nodes up.

Please help me with this issue, we have a virtual router...

Split VM backup to multiple datastores for different disks

Hello,

I'm cureently in need of a very particular backup configuration. I need to backup different disks of the same VM to different backup targets.

Is there a way to either:

- modify the target datastore for a specific disk
- exclude a disk from a specific backup job only
- modify the target namespace of a specific disk

Any of these options would solve my current problem.

Alternatively, a way to exclude certain disks from the tape backup job in pbs would also get me most of the way...

Hi, today I tried to remove unused and not configured disk but failed with:
update VM 100: -delete unused0
TASK ERROR: lvremove 'pve/vm-100-disk-0' error: Logical volume pve/vm-100-disk-0 is used by another device.
I also tried to shutdown the vm (even if don't use it) but gave same error.
I also checked the only other vm on this test proxmox server and don't show it.
Is it a bug, or is there something I don't know? (FWIK should be possible to remove it as not really used)

Hello,

we needed to change the IP-Address of our storage-system. I already found out that I have to change the address in the /etc/pve/storage.cfg. But the file is read only and apparently i have no permissions to change the file even though im logged in as root. I also cant remove the iscsi target and lun and lvm via the gui cause the files are blocked and i dont know which services to stop. Please help, thanks in advance.

Was ist mit

This can take a very long time with large files, so this backend is not suitable to store large VM images.

in der Doku gemeint.
Ich will einen 2 Node Cluster von Xen mit DRBD auf Proxmox umstellen. Nun stellt sich die Frage, ob ich ZFS mit Replikation und eventuellen Datenverlust der letzten Minuten einsetzen soll oder Glusterfs als echtes shared Storage.
Es gibt auf dem System eine VM mit 500GB und 8 VMs mit 10 bis 100GB Größe.

Hi, I followed this article to build-up 2-nodes Proxmox Cluster with shared DRBD.
I do not understand why I need two drbd partitions, both are Primary/Primary ?

The plan is to create 2 resources in Primary/Primary mode. The first one r0 will be used to store disk images for VM’s running on proxmox01 and r1 for the VM’s running on proxmox02. This way we can easily recover from split brain in that way that for r0 we can discard all the changes from proxmox02 and for r1 all the...

I have a separately managed Ceph cluster with an RBD pool pve-vmdata that I use for VM disks. If I create on the Ceph cluster an image, with e.g. rbd create --size 1024 pve-vmdata/myimg, is it possible to add the image to a VM? Can I somehow scan for/detect the new image?

LXC using NFS crashing if NFS server goes offline

I'm running OpenMediaVault in a VM, something is going wrong with it that I need to figure out, but it occasionally crashes and needs rebooting.

On the same host I'm running an LXC container (running plex) which uses fuse and NFS to mount a drive from the openmediavault server.

The issue I have is if OpenMediaVault does down, the LXC container totally dies - I've tried using pct to stop the container but it just won't. It also results in all of the containers on the server having gray...

I installed Proxmox 7.x through the ISO on a Hetzner test server on ZFS with 4 HDDs. When upgrading to Proxmox 8, I encountered the documentation on switching to proxmox-boot-tool again (https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/ZFS:_Switch_Legacy-Boot_to_Proxmox_Boot_Tool) but I'm not sure if I'm understanding it correctly or if I need it.

The current system is booted in legacy boot mode, and it appears to work fine. Unfortunately I did not note the version of grub installed before upgrading, so...

Unable to clone VM template after updating disk image

I am trying to automate up to date cloud images for Ubuntu and Debian VM templates.

Once a template has been cloned using linked clones, it is not possible to delete the template, so I just change the disk to be used in new clones, while the existing clones can still link to previous disk image.

I can create a template ok, and I can create linked clone ok.
When I later update the cloud image, and change the disk used in the template to the new cloud image, I can no longer clone the...
