ProxMox

Proxmox VE provides a straightforward way to manually shut down your server, ensuring all virtual machines (VMs) and containers stop gracefully. However, if you need to schedule automatic shutdowns, the web interface lacks a built-in scheduler. In this guide, we’ll explore how to manually shut down your Proxmox node, set up an automated shutdown using cron, and configure the startup and shutdown order for your VMs.

Migrating virtual machines from Hyper-V to Proxmox allows you to leverage the flexibility and features of Proxmox VE. This process involves exporting the VM from Hyper-V, converting the disk format from VHDX/AVHDX to QCOW2, and configuring the VM in Proxmox. With this step-by-step guide, you’ll ensure a smooth and efficient transition, preserving your VM’s settings and performance while preparing it for optimal use in Proxmox.
