Each of both PVE has 1 VM for firewall and several other VMs, organized in subnetworks, addressed with RFC1918, according to the this diagram
For better understanding, this is the networking addressing:
PVE01 - Net 01 - 172.1.10.0/27
PVE01 - Net 02 - 172.1.20.0/27
PVE01 - Net 03 - 172.1.30.0/27

I have a server in a datacenter which is a Proxmox server. On the server (one of many, they are in a Proxmox cluster) I am hosting various VM's.
Services on the VM's are exposed through iptables (using ufw) natting like the following example:
-A PREROUTING -i eno1 -p tcp -d <public_ip> --dport 21 -j DNAT --to-destination <local_ip>:<port>
-A PREROUTING -i eno1 -p tcp -d <public_ip ...

We have just installed a cluster of 6 Proxmox servers, using 3 nodes as Ceph storage, and 3 nodes as compute nodes.
We are experiencing strange and critical issues with the performances and stability of our cluster.
VMs and Proxmox web access tends to hang for no obvious reason, from a few seconds to a few minutes - when accessing via SSH, RDP or VNC console directly. Even the Proxmox hosts seem to ...
I'd like to give unknown clients an ip address in one range and known clients in another (that is a static one).
I tried quite a lot now and don't seem to get it working. All I get is an "no address available" error.
My network is 10.1.0.0/22 (<-!!!) Guests should be assigned an address in the range 10.1.3.1-10.1.3.254 Static addresses are in range 10.1.2.1-10.1.2.254
so this is my config:

I have a number of "tar" files created from an old proxmox 6 server, using the vzdump tool.
The person that originally created them has left the company, and the company has changed it's container server from "Proxmox VE" to a standard Linux Ubuntu 20.04 LTS server running the latest version of LXD for it's container system.
I've now been asked if I can take these Vzdump tar files, and turn them int ...

I am running a couple of OpnSense (based on FreeBSD 12.1) routers in qemu virtual machines in Proxmox 6.4.
Promox has its own non-libvert way of configuring VMs, but to add a watchdog device, one adds the following line to the VM config file:
watchdog: model=i6300esb,action=reset
I can see that this is working and the virtual device is present in the VM because pciconf -l -v
in the guest includes the ...

I am currently in the process of migrating a server running several linux containers to a server managed by proxmox. In the past when i moved a linux container to a different host i just used the LXD API, simplestreams protocol and executed a lxc copy
command - quite simple. But how is it done if the remote is managed by proxmox so that the migrated container is known to proxmox afterwards?

he have a php application that has access to proxmox and display the vnc console by sharing the token. this is in a apache2 server. We try to proxying the vnc requests behind apache so the end user has no direct access to proxmox. The issue based on the logs that there is no handler for apache:

I am having an issue with Proxmox and ARP changing the MAC address of virtual machines.
arp -a
returns:
ipxxx.ip-51-89-201.eu (51.89.201.xxx) at fe:ed:de:ad:be:ef [ether] on vmbr0
This virtual machines MAC should not be that. Rebooting (the virtual machine) or flushing ARP cache fixes it temporarily.
The MAC fe:ed:de:ad:be:ef
(feed dead beef) is a sign of someone flooding the network with a gratuitous ...
to start, here is my infra in summary :

On my Proxmox 6.4 host, I had an LVM Thin pool that was 250GB large. I created an Ubuntu VM (which used LVM for the root partition as well) on it, but accidentally oversubscribed it, so the PV inside the VM was set to 500GB.
Everything ran great for a while until I went over the hidden 250GB limit and the VM crashed with an I/O error and refuses to boot. So now I'm trying to recover the disk. The ...

I'm using Proxmox VE platform, version 6 or 7, and I'm currently documenting the initial setup with the idea of automating it later. So I'm looking for all command line commands to do all that I must do on the web UI.
My problem is in the storage configuration step: I try to configure an LVM volume on top of an iSCSI LUN.
If I do this setup with the web UI, the /etc/pve/storage.cfg
looks like

I would like to create vm (graphical and not graphical) on an existing ubuntu laptop, and I would like to access this VM through the local network (web browser for example)
This is something like proxmox, but proxmox is an OS, and I don't want to install a new OS (I would like this on the same pc that runs my ubuntu), I would prefer like a proxmox .deb package but it doesn't exist. Or may be conve ...
I have a a Proxmox setup on my home network which was working fine up until yesterday when the network connections in all virtual machines and containers stopped working. I believe this was after updating the kernel but I can't be sure. Could also be due to installing docker on the host.
I've tried rebooting server + router, creating fresh containers and disabled firewall at all levels (DC, serve ...

I have recently setup a new proxmox server featuring a photon os VM for my docker images. It works great, i just have one issue... I cant seem to get my quadro P2000 passed to my plex for hardware transcoding.
I have found the GPU in proxmox and passed it to photon os, where i now also find it (the pci device that is). But when i look at passing through a gpu to a (plex) docker all i can find is ...

Summary
I'm seeing dramatically fluctuating I/O performance on a ZFS SSD mirror in Proxmox VE 7 (Bullseye). I'm simply too much of a novice to be able to track it down on my own.
Details
This is VERY noticeably poor performance in real-world tasks, so it's not just artificial benchmarks. But to help diagnose it I'm running:
sysbench fileio --file-test-mode=rndrw run
It's running "bare-metal" from the ...
So i'm currently using vzdump with the parameter --mode stop. In the description it says that the VM gets shut down before the actual backup starts and after the backup has been started the VM gets started again - if it has been running before. Does vzdump create a temporary seperate disk file of which the VM gets booted or how is it possible that the VM immediately starts again even though the backup p ...

I am currently setting up proxmox on raspberry pi, which in itself works fine. However pveeam shows only amd64 images when running pveam update
/pveam available
(which don't work for obvious reasons). Based on the listings shown on linuxcontainers.org there are plenty of arm64/aarch64 packages out there though, so to me this seems like pveam is filtering based on (wrong) architecture somewhere.

I have a very unique issue that might have a simple answer but I can't really find it anywhere. I currently have two nodes on my rack running proxmox. One is an old gaming PC that doesn't have IOMMU grouping capabilities but has a single 8-pin connector for PCIe devices like my graphics card. The other is a mid-2000s rackable systems server that has no 8-pin connector for powering my graphics card. I en ...
We had a Windows VM in our proxmox server with one accounting program and suddenly, it crashed at night.
When we connected to check what's wrong and we noticed a blue screen with the Windows error 0xc0000225 so we tried a few things but never formatted the drive. I tried to do a list partition but they are missing.
Is there any way to recover data from the vm disk image? I tried recovering windows b ...

We're planning our setup using Proxmox and were hoping to get some feedback as to how good of an idea is it:
So our current setup is 4 servers with wildly different specs:
All of them have 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R)
All of them have either 128GB or 512GB RAM
All of them have at least one hardware RAID storage of varying specs and size
All of them have at 2 other drives of varying specs
One of them r ...
