-Been testing proxmux on home back up server. The server is my old production SuperMicro, which is now used for offsite backups in the home office. I have two 6TB drives in a zfs mirror for vm spinning (no spare), and the other 6x 6TBs are in 3 two-way mirrors for actual production backups. I am using the Debian underbelly with the 3 two-way mirrors to run my normal rsnapshot version control scripts, etc., while I use one pool for testing proxmux functionality. So far everything is working fine, and it's fun to use. Until I am offering advanced business / small enterprise support though, there's not really a need for the tools. But/and, that's not the purpose - the purpose is testing for now for a later date. The first thing I tested was how to bring in an existing virtual machine. To do that, create a machine in the GUI with no OS, and a trivial small HD size. Make sure the other resources match what you need for the VM. Then, run these commands on the command line within the proxmux host: 
- 
-  qm importdisk 500 hub.jonathanhaack.com.qcow2 <dataset> 
-  qm set 500 --scsi0 vms:vm-500-disk-0 
-   
-These commands bring in the image block by block, and then re-assign the virtual disk that VM 500 uses to the image you just brought in, instead of the placeholder image you created in the GUI during the step prior.

-Dreamhost - prepare haacknet for home router.
