@Oksana that is why i love Proxmox user friendly and ease of transitions.

We have all APCs and they work fine in our DC. They work fine for us which include our windows and linux servers.

System time is generally viewed as UTC Time - which I can understand for standardization.
Will have to 'adjust' my expectations.

@Oksana You couldn't pay me enough to use VMware. KVM is the industry standard and has been for years. And VMware with the recent announcement to kill their free offerings is now just a sinking ship.

And it isn't like when it was free, it was worth it. It was laughable what a bad product it was for free. Paying for it is totally insane.

The people who are using VMware have to either be getting kickbacks or completely ignorant or incompetent tbh.

@WLS-ITGuy Typically we use the time to rebuild. Any VM should, in theory, be quick and easy to rebuild. If it isn't, it's the perfect time to make it so.

If you absolutely have to convert rather than move through application migration, then there are disk conversation tools that change the format. There's very little needed for the migration.

After scouring countless sites and articles, only thing that could fully read the drives was UFS Explorer. $700 later and many, many crashes, we are starting to have a reliable process of recovering the data. We have to use UFS Explorer and recover as raw disk images. Then attach those raw images to new VMs manually. Then do a Windows recover to each one.

Proxmox is great so far. 2 servers, setup and available for replication/migration via separate 10G NICs that are direct connected. Then a PBS server where everything is backed up to. So far, so good.

Leaving this new system standalone, not joining the old cluster or creating a single system cluster.

The new (added in 7.3) qm remote-migrate works well. The docs suck, but the function is great.
