Jumped Off the Dock
Sometimes when you get to the end of the dock, you want to jump into the water. After getting comfortable (enough) with Proxmox I took the plunge and deleted ESXi 7 from my DL380 Gen9 and moved all of my … Continue reading

Running on Proxmox 7.2
I took the plunge over the last few nights and migrated all of my VMs from ESXi to Proxmox. Outside of the previously mentioned updates to the NIC configurations, everything went fine. You will need to follow the instructions for … Continue reading
