Please see Fix INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE in Windows and Windows Server, How to fix Windows Boot Error 0xc0000098 (winload.efi), and Fix Veeam Proxmox VE Backup Error: Failed to prepare disk for backup.

Note: That a VE is distinct from a virtual machine (VM)

Start container
However, There are two possibilities to start a container: either on the GUI or on the command line

1)Start Container
——#pct start 100
Stop container
You can stop a container just like you start one, using a similar approach.

2)Stop Container
—– #pct stop 100

3)To list container on LXC
——root@pve:/# pct list

4)Add network configuration via the GUI
Nonetheless, To effectively administer LXC Containers, incorporate network configuration according to the initial settings. LXCs utilize virtual network adapters, bridged to your host’s physical interface, akin to the functionality of veth devices in OpenVZ.

However, In Proxmox VE 3.x the configuration of each container using a veth device had to be done inside the container. In Proxmox VE 4.x you can do this directly from the host.

Nonetheless, For each container: Select the container by clicking on it
Go to the Network tab
Click Add device
On the veth device panel, add a device with the parameters:

Note: This can also be done traditionally using any of the text editor.

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.xxx.xxx.51
netmask 255.255.xxx.0
gateway 192.xxx.xxx.1

5)How to enter a container

#pct enter 100
