Just a heads up if you plan to upgrade to Proxmox 8.1:

https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/latest-proxmox-update-breaks-working-f5-big-ips-stops-licensing-new-big-ips.137782/

Qemu changed the default SMBIOS version to 3.0 with 64 Bit, which breaks all Juniper products as they set the system information in SMBIOS at boot.

A workaround is to set "args: -machine q35,smbios-entry-point-type=32" in the config file, then the VM boots again without problems (as the SMBIOS runs in 32 Bit mode).
