Hypervisors
Hypervisors are the hosts that run your virtual machines. They have their own section — Hypervisors under Inventory — because a hypervisor's job and its numbers differ from an ordinary server's: what matters is how much capacity it has left and what's running on it.
In this section
- Supported platforms
- Reading a hypervisor
- Showing guest IP addresses — what Proxmox VMs need so an imported VM gets its IP address
Hypervisors are created from Servers
A hypervisor is added like any other server: Servers → Add server, with Type: Hypervisor. Once created it leaves the Servers list and appears here instead. Links to its old server address redirect here automatically.
If you've added a hypervisor and can't find it under Servers, this is why — it isn't missing, it's moved.

Check Supported platforms first. Which platform you run decides how much you'll see — and one major platform isn't supported at all.
