Documentation Update hypervisor migration guide in the wiki Reducing number of Ceph placement groups is possible Improve layout, use a left-side based table-of-content



Various improvements Firewall: make config parsing more robust and improve ICMP-type filtering



Known Issues with OVMF/UEFI disks

An EFI disk on a storage which doesn't allow for small (128 KB) images (for example: CEPH, ZFS, LVM(thin)), was not correctly mapped to the VM. While fixed now, such existing setup may need manual intervention:

You do not have to do anything if your EFI disks is using qcow2 or "raw" on a file based storage.

Before the upgrade , make sure that on your ESP, the EFI boot binary exists at \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI (the default EFI Boot fallback). Windows and some Linux VMs using systemd-boot should do that automatically

, make sure that on your ESP, the EFI boot binary exists at (the default EFI Boot fallback). If you already upgraded and it does not boot, see OVMF/UEFI Boot Entries on how to recreate the boot entry via the OVMF Boot Menu

Proxmox VE 6.1

Released 4. December 2019: See Downloads, updated ISO release 2 with installer bug fixes and updated packages on 6. March 2020

Based on Debian Buster (10.2)

Ceph Nautilus (14.2.4.1)

Corosync 3.0

Kernel 5.3

LXC 3.2

Qemu 4.1.1

ZFS 0.8.2

Web interface More datacenter configuration options are now editable via GUI: U2F two-factor settings. Cluster-wide bandwidth limit for the following traffic types: migration, backup-restore, clone, disk-move. Improvements to two-factor authentication allowing to use a hardware-based TOTP key. Mobile GUI: implemented login for TOTP-based two-factor authentication enabled user accounts. More icons have been converted from bitmap to vectorized icons from Font Awesome. The scale mode of noVNC can be changed in "My Settings". Addition of Hebrew language translations. New "Run now" button for cluster-wide backup jobs. With ifupdown2 installed, it is now possible to change the network configuration and reload it from the GUI without a reboot.



Container Pending changes for containers. It is possible to make changes to a running container. They will be applied after the next reboot of the container. Reboot of a running container via GUI, API, and command-line interface. Hot plugging of mount points by using the new mount API available with Linux Kernel 5.3. Support of recent releases of GNU/Linux distributions like Fedora 31, CentOS 8, and Ubuntu 19.10.



SPICE Audio devices can now be added via GUI (no need to edit the configuration file). Folders can now be shared between SPICE client and VM (still experimental). Video streaming can be enabled. This can help to improve the performance of fast-changing display areas like videos. The SPICE USB device now supports USB3 (Qemu >= 4.1).



Backup/Restore VMs with IOThreads enabled can now be backed up. Run scheduled backup jobs manually from the Datacenter in the GUI.



Improvements to the HA stack New 'migrate' shutdown policy. If enabled, running services will be migrated to another node on shutdown. Once the node comes back, and if the services have not been manually moved to another node in the meantime, those services will move back. New 'crm-command stop'. Shuts down a VM/container with the specified timeout and performs a hard stop if the timeout is 0. A VM or container stop command will now be redirected to this new crm-command.



QEMU Allow domains other than '0000' for PCI(e) passthrough. New 'reboot' API call. This allows to apply pending changes without having to wait for the guest to shutdown before starting it again. QEMU monitor timeout issue, which prevented successful backups in certain configurations, has been fixed. PCI(e) passthrough supports up to 16 PCI(e) devices Support for QEMU Guest Agents using an ISA serial port (not VirtIO) for communication, allows to use the QGA with FreeBSD - among others.



General improvements for virtual guests Allow 'tags' in the guest configuration. This meta-information can be useful for things like configuration management (no GUI support yet). VM/CT: Purge allows to remove the corresponding virtual machine or container from replication or backup jobs on destruction.



Cluster stability A number of bugs have been identified and fixed upstream in cooperation with corosync and kronosnet. The initial issues some users have experienced with MTU changes are resolved. pmxcfs has undergone a stability audit using ASAN (AddressSanitizer) and UBSAN (Undefined Behavior Sanitizer), fixing various possible issues for certain edge-cases.



Storage Allow configuration of non-default 'mountpoint' properties for ZFS. Allow .img files as alternative to .iso images. Various iSCSI improvements. Overhaul of ZFS on iSCSI with the LIO target provider. Supports all features offered by newer kernels with Ceph and KRBD.



Various improvements Firewall: Added support for 'raw' tables and use them to allow users to enable and configure Synflood-Attack protections. Automatic certificate renewal for the self-signed certificate 2 weeks before expiration. Reduced certificate lifetime of newly generated certificates (2 years instead of 10 years). Avoids that some modern Browser complain about very long certificate lifetime.



Documentation Proofreading of parts of the documentation (style and grammar). Enhanced documentation for the Ceph administration.



Countless bug fixes and package updates (for all details see bugtracker and GIT)

Proxmox VE 6.0

Released 16. July 2019: See Downloads

Based on Debian Buster 10.0

Pre-upgrade checklist tool `pve5to6` - available on Proxmox VE 5.4 and V 6.0 Running `pve5to6` checks for common pitfalls known to interfere with a clean upgrade process.

Corosync 3.0.2 using Kronosnet as transport Default transport method now uses unicast, this can simplify setups where the network had issues with multicast. New Web GUI Network selection widget avoids making typos when choosing the correct link address. Currently, there is no multicast support available (it's on the kronosnet roadmap).

LXC 3.1

Ceph Nautilus 14.2.x Better performance monitoring for rbd images through `rbd perf image iotop` and `rbd perf image iostat`. OSD creation, based on ceph-volume: integrated support for full disk encryption of OSDs. More robust handling of OSDs (no more mounting and unmounting to identify the OSD). ceph-disk has been removed : After upgrading it is not possible to create new OSDs without upgrading to Ceph Nautilus. Support for PG split and join: The number of placement groups per pool can now be increased and decreased. There is even an optional plugin in ceph-manager to automatically scale the number of PGs. New messenger v2 protocol brings support for encryption on the wire (currently this is still experimental). See http://docs.ceph.com/docs/nautilus/releases/nautilus/ for the complete release notes.

Improved Ceph administration via GUI A cluster-wide overview for Ceph is now displayed in the 'Datacenter View' too. The activity and state of the placement groups (PGs) is visualized. The version of all Ceph services is now displayed, making detection of outdated services easier. Configuration settings from the config file and database are displayed. You can now select the public and cluster networks in the GUI with a new network selector. Easy encryption for OSDs with a checkbox.

ZFS 0.8.1 Native encryption for datasets with comfortable key-handling by integrating the encryption directly into the `zfs` utilities. Encryption is as flexible as volume creation and adding redundancy - the gained comfort w.r.t. dm-crypt is comparable to the difference between mdadm+lvm to zfs. Allocation-classes for vdevs: you can add a dedicated fast device to a pool which is used for storing often accessed data (metadata, small files). TRIM-support - use `zpool trim` to notify devices about unused sectors. Checkpoints on pool level. See https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/releases/tag/zfs-0.8.0 and https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/releases/tag/zfs-0.8.1 for the complete release notes.

Support for ZFS on UEFI and on NVMe devices in the installer You can now install Proxmox VE with its root on ZFS on UEFI booted systems. You can also install ZFS on NVMe devices directly from the installer. By using `systemd-boot` as bootloader all pool-level features can be enabled on the root pool.

Qemu 4.0.0 Live migration of guests with disks backed by local storage via GUI. Added support for more Hyper-V enlightenments improving Windows performance in a virtual machine under Qemu/KVM. Mitigations for the performance impact of recent Intel CPU vulnerabilities. More VM CPU-flags can be set in the web interface. Newer virtual PCIe port hardware for machine type q35 in version >= 4.0. This fixes some passthrough issues. Support for custom Cloudinit configurations: You can create a custom Cloudinit configuration and store it as snippet on a storage. The `qm cloudinit dump` command can be used to get the current Cloudinit configuration as a starting point for extensions.

Firewall improvements Improved detection of the local network so that all used corosync cluster networks get automatically whitelisted. Improved firewall behavior during cluster filesystem restart, e.g. on package upgrade.

Mount options for container images You can now set certain performance and security related mount options for each container mountpoint.

Linux Kernel Updated 5.0 Kernel based off the Ubuntu 19.04 "Disco" kernel with ZFS. Intel in-tree NIC drivers are used: Many recent improvements to the kernel networking subsystem introduced incompatibilities with the out of tree drivers provided by Intel, which sometimes lag behind on support for new kernel versions. This can lead to a change of the predictable network interface names for Intel NICs.

Automatic cleanup of old kernel images Old kernel images are not longer marked as NeverAutoRemove - preventing problems when /boot is mounted on a small partition. By default the following images are kept installed (all others can be automatically removed with `apt autoremove`): the currently running kernel the version being newly installed on package updates the two latest kernels the latest version of each kernel series (e.g. 4.15, 5.0)

Guest status display in the tree view: Additional states for guests (migration, backup, snapshot, locked) are shown directly in the tree overview.

Improved ISO detection in the installer: The way how the installer detects the ISO was reworked to include more devices, alleviating problems of detection on certain hardware.

Pool level backup: It is now possible to create a backup task for backing up a whole pool. By selecting a pool as backup target instead of an explicit list of guests, new members of the pool are automatically included, and removed guests are automatically excluded from the backup task.

New User Settings and Logout menu.

Automatic rotation of authentication key every 24h: by limiting the key lifetime to 24h the impact of key leakage or a malicious administrator are reduced.

The nodes Syslog view in the GUI was overhauled and is now faster.

Sheepdog is no longer maintained, and thus not supported anymore as Storage plugin.

`ceph-disk` has been removed in Ceph Nautilus - use `ceph-volume` instead.

Kernel 4.15.18

QEMU 2.12.1 (QEMU 3.0.1 since May 2019 via apt)

LXC 3.1.0

ZFS 0.7.13

Ceph 12.2.11 (Luminous LTS, stable), packaged by Proxmox Ceph can now be installed via the GUI, thus closing the gap of needing the CLI for this initial step, before configuring a complete (hyperconverged) Ceph setup via PVE's GUI.

QDevice support via `pvecm` primarily for small 2-node clusters adding a qdevice can help mitigate the downside of not being able to reboot one node without losing quorum (and thus the ability to make any changes in the cluster) ** Can also help in clusters with a larger even number of nodes by providing a tie-break vote. Integration into pvecm and PVE stack vastly simplifies adding a qdevice (it was possible manually before as well)

Wake On Lan support via `pvenode` It is now possible to associate a MAC-Address with a PVE-node. This can be used to send a WOL (wake on lan) packet to that node from any other node in the PVE-Cluster, and thus power it on on-demand Provides a comfortable way of saving power by keeping only part of the nodes permanently online, and starting others on demand (e.g. increased load, or for running guests during upgrades to the PVE-nodes.)

GUI Container wizard creates unprivileged containers by default

HA improvements and added flexibility It is now possible to set a datacenter wide HA policy which can change the way guests are treated upon a Node shutdown or reboot. The choices are: freeze: always freeze servivces, independent of the shutdown type (reboot, poweroff) failover: never freeze services, this means that a service will get recovered to another node if possible and if the current node does not comes back up in the grace period of 1 minute. default: this is the current behavior, freeze on reboot but do not freeze on poweroff

Suspend to disk/hibernate support for Qemu/KVM guests qemu guests can be 'hibernated' (have their RAM contents and internal state saved to permanent storage) and resumed on the next start. This enables users to preserve the running state of the qemu-guests across most upgrades to and reboots of the PVE-node. Additionally it can speed up the startup of guests running complex workloads/ workloads which take lots of resources to setup initially, but which need not run permanently.

Support for guest (both Qemu and LXC) hookscripts: Hook-scripts are small executables which can be configured for each guest, and are called at certain steps of the guest's lifetime ('pre-start', 'post-start', 'pre-stop', 'post-stop'). This gives Administrators great flexibility in the way they can prepare the environment for the guest (e.g. adding necessary network resources (routes, vlans), firewall-rules, unlocking encrypted files/devices,...) and cleaning them up when the guest is shutdown or stopped.

Improved Qemu Guest creation wizard: Certain often requested options (e.g. Machine-type (q35, pc-i440fx), Firmware (Seabios, UEFI), SCSI controller) can now be selected directly in the VM Creation Wizard, and dependent options get set to sensible values directly.

Clusterwide Subscription Check and Display The Datacenter Summary page now gives Administrators a global overview of the subscription status of all nodes in a PVE cluster, thus helping to verify the support-status of the complete cluster on one quick glance

Improved UI in the installer It is now possible to go back to a previous screen in the pve-installer, and adapt choices made there, without the need to restart the complete installation process Before the actual installation is performed an information-page is displayed containing all relevant information

U2F Authentication for the WebUI PVE's WebUI now can optionally use two-factor authentication for users. This is generally considered good security practice, and in certain domains and environments it is required. The new U2F authentication and the TOTP second factor authentication can be configured by each user for themselves (before all 2FA solutions needed to be configured by a user with User.Modify permission).

Emulating ARM virtual machines (experimental, mostly useful for development purposes)

vGPU/MDev and PCI passthrough. GUI for configuring PCI passthrough and also enables the use of vGPUs (aka mediated devices) like Intel KVMGT (aka GVT-g) or Nvidias vGPUS.

pvesh rewrite to use the new CLI Formatter framework - providing a configurable output format for all API calls (formats include: json, yaml and a pleasant table output with borders). Provides unified support for json output for the PVE CLI Tools.
