good day all,

today when trying to execute my scheduled backup, i received the following error:

""ERROR: Backup of VM 100 failed - VM 100 qmp command 'backup' failed - backup connect failed: command error: unable to read "/mnt/datastore/backup1/vm/100/owner" - Input/output error (os error 5)""

i tried googling it, but i received noresults. Can someone explain what is the reason and, if possible, guide on how to solve it?

Previous backup has been executed without errors.

How to? Create or edit file with qm guest agent

Hello,

I'm trying to create /test.file with a test content, inside a VM.

Running directly in the VM, normally I can do:

Code:
echo test > /test.file

So, I expected that running this will work...

Code:
qm guest exec 100 echo test -- "> /test.file"

But seems is not working...

There is any way to do?

Thanks!

I have 2x Nvidia Titan RTXs that I am trying to pass through to a single VM (Machine Learning).

Updated our Proxmox PVE 7 server this morning and upon reboot the local-lvm was not available and VM's would not start. Below are the updates applied:
libpve-common-perl: 7.0-6 ==> 7.0-9
pve-container: 4.0-9 ==> 4.0-10
pve-kernel-helper: 7.0-7 ==> 7.1-2
qemu-server: 7.0-13 ==> 7.0-14

PVE said reboot was required

Once rebooted, the local-lvm showed at 0GB in WebGUI and got a start failed error when I tried to start VMs. See attachment(s)

Diskrepanz Stromverbrauch bei Server 2022 und Server 2025

Hallo zusammen,

ich habe ein komisches Verhalten beim Stromverbrauch festgestellt, wofür ich keine Erklärung finden kann. Ich hoffe hier auf die Schwarmintelligenz.

Ich betreibe Proxmox auf einer i5-13500 CPU.
Für Tests habe ich mir 2 VMS angelegt mit gleichen Einstellungen. Eine mit Windows Server 2022 und eine mit Windows Server 2025.
Beide Maschinen wurden komplett durchgepatcht und der Stromverbrauch begutachtet (natürlich habe ich darauf geachtet das die CPU Load bei 0% liegt - also...

Dear all,

I've set up node A and node B. I sync my VM from A to B. Is it possible to create a linked clone snapshot on node B to make a test copy of my VM without stopping pve-zsync?

Hi, I am trying to run a proxmox windows, or ubuntu vm, but I always keep on getting an error.
Windows:
It says booting from hard disk then puts me in the bios window?
Ubuntu:
it says booting from hard disk and never does ANYTHING.
Why Is that?

Thanks,

once the iso's in local (pve) /iso images are used to build a vm can they be deleted. I have some old iso's of Ubuntu ie: 18.04 that if not used in some fashion with the vm i created would like to clean house

ZFS File Share on Proxmox

I am new to Proxmox (coming from vSphere) and slowly clawing my way through the documentation while trying to wrap my mind around some of the unique design/architectural challenges of the product. I was drawn to it primarily due to its deep integration with ZFS.

I now have my first VM running, a Windows Server VM, and am ready to move on to the second piece, where I need to provide some type network storage for the server VM. Early on I have made some ill-informed assumptions, call it...

2 Node HA Cluster ohne QDevice aufbauen geht das?

$

Moin,
ich würde gerne für kleinere Kunden einen HA Cluster mit 2 Nodes und ohne QDevice aufbauen.
Aktuelle habe ich nur einen 2 Node Cluster ohne HA im Einsatz. Das funktioniert sehr gut. In einem Disasterfall müssen halt die VMs auf dem Backup Node per Shell aktiviert werden. Es müssen die Hüllen der VMs in das Node2 Verzeichnis verschoben werden. (mv /etc/pve/nodes/node1/qemu-server/100.conf /etc/pve/nodes/node2/qemu-server/100.conf ) Dann erscheinen die VMs auf dem Node2 und können wieder...

Small Cloud Cluster design and strategy

$

Currently in the process of redesigning our infrastructure. We currently have 2 bare metal linux servers cloud server.

We have a very limited budget for about 3 rather small servers. I want to take advantage of virtualisation to separate our workloads, redundancy, take advantage of snapshots, quickly deploy environments for our dev team. This is the general design I came up with :
  • Two Proxmox nodes running on about those specs : 8C/16T 32GB DDR4 2x1 TB SSD
  • A smaller server hosting...

Tips on Upgrading SSDs for my Proxmox lab

$

Hi! I just started playing around with re-using my old gaming PC into a Proxmox home lab and so far I am having lots of fun. My next step is to upgrade storage since I am running a single 512GB Samsung EVO 870 SSD and hitting a limit right now.

Since my motherboard supports a single PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 slot, I am thinking of getting a single 2TB Samsung 970 Eco Plus SSD and one 1TB Samsung 870 Evo SSD. I would add 870 Evo to the main storage and use 970 for the main backup (or vice versa). Does...

[SOLVED] No hard disk found

Hi,

I'm trying to install Proxmox VE 8.0-2 on an old laptop (Dell XPS 15 9560). I can start the installation but then I get a "No hard disk found" error.

I know there is no issue with the hard disk as I just booted Windows 10 from it. So the hdd works just fine, but maybe the fact that Windows is still installed on it is the issue? I figured the Proxmox VE installer would partition and format the disk so it wouldn't matter what's on it now.

The hard disk is an SATA or NVME SSD. I thought...

If a PCIe HBA added to a client vm and both possible host HOSTS have identical hardware setup including the same model HBA can HA be kept?

In short I have a disk shelf connected to the host with a HBA. I do want to keep it as High availability as failover. So that if PVE1 fails the VM will move to PVE2 and mount the HBA in that other node. Effectively only having a possible reboot down time and live access to data. This would allow only the Root drive to be on the host storage with...

Yet another noob install question...

Hi guys,

I'm about to try Proxmox for the first time, and I have some very basic questions...

I think I've pieced together the info from other posts, but a lot of (good) advice seems to rely on NVMe drives, of which I have zero.

What I do have is a cheap used Dell to play around with, and 5 drives - 2 very cheap SSDs and 3 reasonable 4 TB HDD's.

I'm thinking of using one cheap SSD to install Proxmox and store ISO's, a second identical SSD for VM's (one of which will be TrueNAS) and the...

Proxmox VE 7.2 Benchmark: aio native, io_uring, and iothreads

Hey everyone, a common question in the forum and to us is which settings are best for storage performance. We took a comprehensive look at performance on PVE 7.2 (kernel=5.15.53-1-pve) with aio=native, aio=io_uring, and iothreads over several weeks of benchmarking on an AMD EPYC system with 100G networking running in a datacenter environment with moderate to heavy load.

Here's an overview of the findings:
  • iothreads significantly improve performance for most workloads.
  • aio=native...

Greetings. Proxmox PVE 8.2-1 host becomes unresponsive after a few days. It responds to ping, but no SSH or Web Interface. VMs are also unresponsive. The server needs to be power cycled in order to recover. In a few days again the same thing will happen.

Here are the errors that repeat from a remote syslog server:
Code:
/usr/sbin/ksmtuned: line 105: [: too many arguments
/usr/sbin/ksmtuned: line 79: /usr/bin/awk: Input/output error

Hi all,

like a couple of others I have been trying to get GPU passthrough working with a Ryzen APU but now I'm stuck.

First things first - I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm fueled by the naivety of the young and 500 open browser tabs so please go easy on me.

I think I have the basic passthrough working but I'm having trouble getting the amdgpu driver to load on the guest system.

My host is:
Ryzen 5 4600G
Asus ROG B550-A Gaming
32GB Samsung M391A4G43MB1-CTDQ

This is my vm.conf file...

Is it possible to set the search domain to be the nodes domain so that all containers become subdomains?

$
0
0
I want all my LXCs to be their own subdomain of the node they're on, which is node-1.lan.
I tried setting the search domain to be ".node-1.lan" instead of just ".lan" (it picked it up by default from my DHCP server) but it doesn't work, they're all still just <container>.lan.

Is this possible? I also tried manually setting the hostname of a container to container1.node-1, hoping for container1.node-1.lan, but it still just becomes container1.lan
