Using Proxmox 7.4-3 and following your video. Not so much has changed, except your gripe about unnecessary error messages, and the console has a nice dark theme. Thank you for posting this video series. I find this far easier than ESXi, even though it is very similar, your process is more rewarding, especially on legacy devices.

@asdf51501 2 роки тому

Here I am, learning the proxmoxes. What would have been helpful would be "what is qemu-guest-agent" (guessing it's like vmware tools, etc.) and what does it do. Also, how to give your vm GPU support if needed, and how to get it to recognize other storage drives on the system. This stuff of course may be covered later in the course, or left for, uh, independent study. :) Good video series!

That was useful information. I am curious about the qemu agent...what does it do? We installed and started the server, but I did catch why we did that. Thanks for this video series. I'm watching the videos as I set up my first proxmox hypervisor, and they are very helpful.

@johnu730 2 роки тому

FYI make sure you select the correct 'Bus/Device'. I let it default to SCSI when in fact I have SATA. The VM installed fine but it ran very slow. I changed it to 'SATA' and the VM ran fine. Excellent video. Always waiting for your next interesting video.

I can't update my home server to VMware ESXi 7, because of hardware compatibility. This Proxmox series really shows me a lot of features I could really use. Makes me doubt if I should take the plunge and switch over to Proxmox. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Jay!

@manicmarauder Рік тому

Similar story here. The writing is on the wall with VMware slowly tying itself to white box $$$$ server vendors. So now I'm also learning proxmox after having used vmware for almost a decade.

@franek4always 2 роки тому

great job, when next classes?

@gorillaau Рік тому

This series is amazing. The time machine is helping... okay tired joke. I mean that record all the footage and afterwards editing the footage to suit the future destination is making this good fun. I'm contemplating a FreeNAS shared storage with Proxmox hosts for the VMs. My constraint is lower the power and size, as the houseghld probably doesn't want anything bigger than a two drawer filing cabinet. Time to build a custom enclosure to blend into the house surrounds.

@FiveFishAudio Рік тому

I really appreciate this Proxmox crash course! I may be getting ahead of myself, but can Proxmox import an existing OS on a physical hard drive? Can it import a Parallels Virtual Machine? I have some physical OS installed natively on hard drive and want to convert them to Proxmox VMs. Thanks! Great instructions!

@YooWhatsPoppin 2 місяці тому

Awesome video! But I have a question about it. Whenever I create a virtual machine and assign it to the network vmbr0, the VM doesn’t have access to the internet. Is there anything additional I need to configure in Proxmox to grant the VM internet access? Something like port forwarding or IP NATing?

@arizablozki9370 2 роки тому

Should we be verifying the downloads of the .iso before we load into proxmox? Is that best practice?

Is it possible to configure Proxmox to have the guest agent default to "on"?

@canadianwildlifeservice8883 8 місяців тому

I'm new to Proxmox. Why would you leave the device type on SCSI and not Sata? Isn't SCSI mainly for older spinning disk hard drives? Even 7,200RPM drives are sata.

Just out of curiosity: do you have any experience running lightweight desktop environments on VMs on your proxmox setups, like xfce, mate, lxde or lxqt? If so, can we interact with the DE through proxmox's UI? Would you recommend it? Thank you very much, and congratulations on the channel and this series, you are doing an amazing job! =D

@danbrown586 2 роки тому

I've installed Linux, Windows, and macOS VMs using Proxmox; all of the GUIs worked at least adequately (though not always with the greatest performance). One difference from the video is that I typically launch the console using the Console button near the top of the screen, rather than the one in the left sidebar. This way, the console opens in its own window, and can resize as needed to match the desired resolution of the guest.

@khammassihoussemeddine1193 2 роки тому

very precious questions have you found answers ??

@tim78723 2 роки тому

Sorry for a late reply here Alert Shaikh, I just wanted to pipe in to give some info here. A VM is a full operating system. So you can have multiple applications on a VM. You can run for example - an LDAP server, a mail server, web server, database server, as well as a plex, or Owncloud/Nextcloud server, all in the same VM. It's basically the same as running a second (3rd, 4th, or 5th) computer on your computer. It is all going to be based upon the resources available to the VM, such as RAM, CPU, and storage space. If you put too many applications on it, you will see it in performance, just like having too many applications on your computer will cause it to drag too. As far as I know, you can use the same storage for each of the nodes on the computer, so you really only need one storage, but Jay would definitely be the resource for that one.

@JanUlik-if6mt Рік тому

I have a point here, speaking about storage options, I have two physical disks on my host. I want this virtual machine to stay on same ssd as proxmox does. I want to give part/whole of the big HDD to that virtual machine as second drive. I believe this is not what option storage does in this initial setup right?!

How can I remote connect VM from other computers? What software would give me best performance?

@johncrunk8038 2 роки тому

Giving the VM too little memory can cause the install to fail, even if you only need, say 512, when it is running. You can always adjust it later.

@TheSexton01 2 роки тому

Hi, Jay! I've watched your "Proxmox VE Full Course: Class 5 - Launching a Virtual Machine" video a couple times now. I'm trying get a successful launch of a VM. At first, I followed your instructions as you went along for Ubuntu Server, then the 2nd time I tried creating an Amahi VM. Unfortunately, both times I was halted at the starting of the VM. No matter what, I keep getting the "Failed To Connect To Server" message. I've done everything you did, step by step, both times. Guess I'm lost, so to speak.

@DarthDweeb 2 роки тому

So why install the QEMU Guest Agent? I haven't installed that on any of my VM's. I don't know what it does.

@danbrown586 2 роки тому

It lets the host cleanly shut down the VM, it reports network addresses and memory usage to the host, and performs other helpful tasks. It's a good idea to run it if it's available for your guest OS. See pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Qemu-guest-agent

I have been unable to "start" any vm I build into proxmox. I have modified the options to exclude or include qemu. once with ubuntu server and qemu enabled, I got a boot loop trying to load an ipxe image. no other choice for boot worked, it just kept looping back to the ipxe boot. any thoughts?

@parv8131 2 роки тому

what is the use case of qemu package?

@mrmoonmoon 2 роки тому

The qemu-guest-agent is a helper daemon, which is installed in the guest. It is used to exchange information between the host and guest, and to execute command in the guest. In Proxmox VE, the qemu-guest-agent is used for mainly two things: * To properly shutdown the guest, instead of relying on ACPI commands or windows policies * To freeze the guest file system when making a backup (on windows, use the volume shadow copy service VSS).

@muskokaliving2072 9 місяців тому

Seems like such a simple thing but I can't get audio to work in Ubuntu Desktop. Tried searching for an answer but got nowhere. I guess Proxmox isn't for those who don't know their way around Linux very well.

@darrenanton2898 Рік тому

So let me ask you this. Why do you need to keep the ISO file on your "local drive" after you installed it? I set up proxmox on my (2) Dell R720 servers so I have the two server in cluster. The first VMs I put in was TrueNAS-SCALE-22.12.1.iso On each server. After all was setup and working good I deleted the iso file if it's installed and working good no need to waste space by keeping the ISO File on there right? Now they will not start at all. I get this in the log "TASK ERROR: volume 'local:iso/TrueNAS-SCALE-22.12.1.iso' does not exist" Do I need to keep the ISO's in the Local Drive For All VM's I Install on it? seems like wasted space to me.

@BrianThomas Рік тому

It seems like uploading the image from a desktop is much much faster than downloading them from the source. I have a fast internet service as well, so I'm not why it's taking so long.

To save anyone who might be pulling your hair out like me, press "q" without the quotes (that's a 'q' as in Quebec) in order to get back to the command prompt in the terminal window when you see "END" after a long text output such as when typing the qemu service command shown in the video.

You need to check your router, to see the connected devices. In this case a device called "webserver" will be listed as connected and the associated IP present there.

@GeorgeMedinaSoulcaptor 5 місяців тому

Hi Jay, Im new to proxmox and your tutorials has been making learning this much easier, I do have an issue though that I cant seem to find the answer too anywhere, this might be a long description so I thank you ahead of time for your patience. I have a Dell Poweredge T130 with a Xenon single processor 4core, 32 Gig of Ram, Virtualization enabled (I use to run windows 10 with hyper-v no problems) and a variety of hard drives inside. I got proxmox to install just fine, I was able to initialize all drives and became quite familiar with proxmox due to your tutorials. My problem is with Virtual Machines, I have them installed and everything looks fine, I used all the defaults just as you did, but none of my VM's will boot up on this particular Server. the Error Description I get is "VM 100 -Start " Status = "Error start failed QEMU exited with code1" then followed by Status = "Error connection timed out." This happens with my Ubuntu Server installation as well as my Windows and basically any other VM ive tried. I have installed, uninstalled and reinstalled multiple time with no luck. I ALSO setup proxmox on my Lenovo W530 laptop with 32 gig Ram Intel 4core and a couple of hdd, and everything runs absolutely perfect on that. I cant find anything on "vm's wont start with QEMU exited with code 1" - any suggestions would be highly appreciated

@technics6215 Рік тому

The way how you explain how to choose amount of RAM for virtual machine does not match topic of this course :) If someone came here to learn serious tool like Proxmox - I guess he knows how much memory his machine needs. If not - he should find another job ;)
