Moving Proxmox to another Machine

The reason to move Proxmox VE server to another machine is, I got issue when booting up Proxmox installation USB disk from a MacBook Pro. So I decided to use existing Proxmox VE server USB disk boot from this MacBook Pro.

Requirement

The previous Proxmox Virtual Environment USB disk, must be an UEFI disk, because MacBook Pro is a UEFI machine.

After boot

The network configuration /etc/network/interfaces needs to be changed due to different network interface name.

First, change the interface name, which can be found using ip a command, the two lines need to be updated.

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface enp0s10 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.205/24
        gateway 192.168.1.254
        bridge-ports enp0s10
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0

The WIFI interface can be disabled if it is not used.

#iface wlp1s0 inet manual
