Network Engineering is not just a job. It is a lifestyle
I have been using VM templates for a while to instantly create a VM and these VM templates has a fixed size vDisk. I wanted to create a smaller vDisk template let’s say 5GB of vDisk. When I do a full clone, I would simply resize the vDisk to a desire vDisk size. I am …
I have my Promox to backup the containers and virtual machines on a fixed schedule. I am using an NFS storage as my backup target. I recently encountered this failed container backups not too long ago. The error I was getting is below. To fix the issue, editing the /etc/vzdump.conf file did the trick for …
This is really annoying because I could not mount the NFS export from my darktower NAS. I kept getting the error as shown in the feature image above. The see the text version below. This is probably a bug in Proxmox 6.3-3. Apparently, if you login via CLI and run the df command, you will …

Proxmox’ PCI pass-through will allow the admin user to use a physical device such as integrated GPU (iGPU), graphics card unit (GPU), or network interface card (NIC) inside of the virtual machine. To support hardware pass-through, the CPU and the motherboard must support it. Fortunately, my Intel NUC 8th gen supports it. Unfortunately, Proxmox IOMMU …
What is SPICE? SPICE is designed for remoting into virtual machines and high bandwidth environment. SPICE is disabled by default in Proxmox VE. If the default NoVNC doesn’t do the job, SPICE is another way to console into the VM. To enable Proxmox SPICE, there are two things need to have. SPICE driver on the …
My first Proxmox server is a full tower. We are talking about the original CoolerMaster Cosmos S case. I needed to replace my PVE server as soon as possible. However, it was not an easy thing to do because of some requirements that I have and cost. Need to be low power Need to be …
I don’t really import VMs via OVA to my hypervisor. I tend to install from the ISO file. With the COVID-19 quarantine going on, I thought it would be a best time to learn Red Hat and may attempt to take the RHCSA 8 exam. To do this, I would need a lab. The quickest …
