I have migrated a VM running on Proxmox to Xcpng host. Despite the imported VM on Xcpng has a new NIC with new MAC address, it still retained old IP address asssigned to the old MAC of the VM running on Proxmox. The VM is running OpenSUSE Leap 15.5 and use wicked for network management. How to fix this? Spoiler alert, I figured out how to fix it. First, let’s run some commands to display some information....
The Proxmox server running at home only has an IPv4 statically assigned to it. Since I’ve been trying to get all my connected devices at home to get IPv6 assigned, I figured I should try with this Proxmox server next. I’m running Proxmox VE 8.0.4, and it’s based on Debian 12 (bookwarm).

On checking the Proxmox console, I could see that that VM with ID 102 was definitely not responding. So, I tried to reboot, stop and even reset....
I recently had a need to run Proxmox Virtual Environment (7.2-4) at home for a project. So far everything seemed to be straight forward, partially thanks to KVM technology used in Promox. However, I also learned a few things along the way too. The first thing that I had look up on the Internet to get it working is to activate (Promox) qemu-guest-agent. If you’re reading this, it’s likely you didn’t get it working on first trial either....
