Proxmox admin notes

  • Check if there are cloud-init datasource updates: qm cloudinit pending <VM_ID>
  • Update cloud-init datasource: qm cloudinit update <VM_ID>
  • Get the next proxmox VM ID: pvesh get /cluster/nextid
  • Get the list of PCI devices of a given Proxmox host: pvesh get /nodes/{nodename}/hardware/pci --pci-class-blacklist ""
  • Delete the EFI disk: qm set <VM_ID> -delete efidisk0

Disable Secure Boot

Either enter the UEFI console and disable Secure Boot manually, or delete the EFI disk, and recreate it without the pre-enrolled-keys=1 option.

Notes:

  • Secure Boot prevents unsigned kernel modules from loading. Example: Coral PCIe modules (apex, gasket)

Expand disk, filesystem, and partition
