    As a non linux user found the earlier vid on upgrading Proxmox 7 to the latest version pretty easy and follow this to get upto 8.0.3 was just as easy thanks. My 3 containers and 2 VM's came up no problems.

    @dave Planning to tackle proxmox 8 SDN? There is no good video out there on it. Something in your usual deep dive will be really helpful.
  • how would you go about backing up your VMs on your older version before the upgrade if all your VMs are on your local hard drive and not connected to a NAS or SAN?... As far as everything else you have shared here it works properly as you shown here

    I have a couple warnings. When I was first setting up this server I was a noob, (still am). I crated a zfs pool on a drive. I then wiped the drive completely and created a new pool. I'm now getting the following "WARN: storage 'zfs4tb' enabled but not active!" How do I get rid of this completely?
