  • Proxmox 3.2: Finding the container CTID from the command line

     

    If you are in a terminal and want to find the container IDs (CTID) quickly without opening up a browser, run the following:

     

    vzlist

     

    It should return a list of the container IDs, the VM state, their IP addresses and hostnames like so:

     

          CTID      NPROC STATUS    IP_ADDR         HOSTNAME
    100         25 running   10.1.1.51       nyx.luna.com
    101         17 running   10.1.1.65       euphrosyne.luna.com
    102         58 running   10.1.1.22       metis.luna.com
    103         15 running   10.1.1.25       curo.luna.com
    104         52 running   10.1.1.60       ogmios.luna.com

    Quick and easy.

  • Proxmox 3.2: Enabling NFS on a container (CT) VM

     

    If you’re trying to figure out why you are getting NFS errors despite having NFS set up properly on the host machine and client VM, this may be the answer. With the VM powered off, run at the Proxmox terminal:

     

    vzctl set [VM ID] --features "nfs:on" --save


     

    The next time the VM is powered up NFS should be enabled and you should be able to mount shares correctly. An example:

     

    vzctl set 104 --features "nfs:on" --save
