ProxmoxVE - Boot without starting any VM

ProxmoxVE - Boot without starting any VM#

Problem#

I want to boot ProxmoxVE without booting any guest in order to perform a maintenance task.

Solution#

• During boot interrupt systemd (proxmox-boot) so it does not boot
• Press e to edit the command line
• Type in the following at the very end of the line: systemd.mask=pve-guests.service
• Hit Enter to boot without starting any guests.
