Operational Procedures

ssh pvessh
pveversion
qm list
pct list
pvesm status

Apply updates during an approved outage because the firewall and all hosted services depend on this node. Back up guest configuration and verify NAS storage before maintenance.

For a fresh installation without restoring guest disks, use the clean rebuild plan.

Troubleshooting

  • UI unavailable: test SSH and systemctl status pveproxy.
  • Guest unavailable: check guest status, task log, storage, and bridge.
  • Storage inactive: check local mounts or Synology RS816 connectivity.
  • Host reboot: verify startup order and all critical service routes.
