10 "old" vm's, Lenovo host w Fedora 32
XP = 2 vm's
2003R2 = 2 vm's
2008 = 6 vm's
RAID controller = LSI 9260-8i w 2 virtual drives (RAID 1 - o/s & R 10 - vm's)
R10 is lvm2 & qcow2 files are at /mnt/data

I shutdown all the vm's and scp'd the qcow2 files to a file share on 2nd server. (Just in case something went wrong)
Installed Proxmox 6.2 on the R1 array.
Added the existing r10 lvm2 into Proxmox.
Added the existing /mnt/data as a directory to Proxmox.

I could now go into the Proxmox shell & all my qcow2 files showed up!
Time to create 10 "new" vm's (each with 1gb disk)
The disks were located at /mnt/data/images/100/vm-100-disk-1.qcow2 (100 is the ID of the vm, each vm has a different ID)
I mv'd all the qcow2 files from /mnt/data to /mnt/data/images/"vm-ID"/your_vm.qcow2

Back to the shell, run cmd qm rescan
Back to the gui, in each vm, detach the vm-100-disk-1.qcow2, add your original qcow2 file
Boot up the vm!

All in all, pretty damn easy & painless!!

KeePass. Been using it for years.

It's simple, great for organizing, and the auto-type just works.

Sorry, that UI looks like something from the '60's!

Have you looked at https://1password.com/
Btw, I tried (actually paid for it) Dashlane...no thanks. Terrible, gawd awful support!

Must have been a problem with the backend servers.
Yesterday, I re-tried the updates & all is good.

@black3dynamite same errors!

@black3dynamite I'm using 1.1.1.1 & 9.9.9.9, but it's worth taking a look & changing!

After adding the fastestmirror=true

determining the fastest mirror (95 hosts).. done.

Trying to do "dnf upgrade -y" on a F32 xfce desktop.
For the past 2 days, I see a lot of this:
How to solve?

@Pete-S said in Associate existing drive with new Proxmox VM:

You have that info in the thread below from the other day:
https://mangolassi.it/topic/21751/import-a-qcow2-into-proxmox

Basically you need to put it in the right place and it has to have the right name (depending on config file, what filesystem, VM ID)

Right, it seems that you just go into the config and edit the name of the drive to point to the correct volume name and ta da.

What do you need to do in order to change the boot order?

You can do this in the GUI.

I followed this instruction: https://serverfault.com/questions/843212/existing-kvm-vm-to-proxmox-ve

@Pete-S You are correct. You can copy the the qcow2 into the default Proxmox location. That's what I did when I was testing.

@scottalanmiller said in Windows 10 VM:

However, normally you want to buy via the Volume License store as the version that you are looking at don't provide the option to virtualize them. So they won't do you any good. You need the VL license with SA.

You need a minimum quantity of 5 for VL (you could buy 4 more Windows anything), assuming this is your first time purchasing Windows. Or is that only an Open Value requirement?

@Pete-S said in Linux Desktop: what's the "preferred" distro?:
"nice to look at"

Muy, importante!

Fedora Cinnamon, Fedora Deepin, Ubuntu, Elementary O/S etc?

What's the preferred choice these days?

This question is asking from a "user" reference point (NOT an IT or Admin reference), therefore, candy appeal is very important!!

In the past, I've used these to "network" desktop scanners, I wonder if this would work?

noob question here:
If you're hosting on Cloudflare, this should be used instead of LE?

Not about "should", it's about which makes more sense for you in a given situation.

"could" would probably have been a better word choice.

noob question here:

I'm sorry, this, just sounds like a train wreck even before the train has departed the station!

Spun up a nested Proxmox instance.
Really liking the built-in backup & the fact that I can snapshot a UEFI vm!
