I've managed to get CEPH working. Exciting stuff! I have this annoying warning constantly present: I assume it comes from this: Can I increase the PG of .mgr to 2? Will it break anything? What is the best practice for this.

I am trialing 3 nodes PVE with cluster and CEPH. Should I setup the cluster first or CEPH first.

Trying to understand the basic network setup for proxmox cluster with CEPH. Say I have 6 physical nics: eno1 - 6 I would need to have 3 bonds (assume lacp bond): bond0, eno1 eno2, lacp, layer 2+3 bond1, eno3 eno4, lacp, layer 2+3 bond2, eno5 eno6, lacp, layer 2+3 I would also need to have 3...

I am a beginner to proxmox and ceph. Currently in the middle of testing for deployment to a production environment. What I've done (hopefully to help others puzzling over the same issue as well as to verify that my work is correct): 1. Install PVE and Activate CEPH 2. Added 2 x SSD drives...

Due to other posts online stating that RAID1 ZFS requires gobs of system memory, I plan to put my VMs in an RAID1 LVM setup instead. I would then mount this RAID1 LV as a directory in datacenter storage. Is this an acceptable method of running VMs in a production environment? ---- Testing PVE...

I tried to read the wiki and old threads but I still have questions. Basic condition: My PVE server is RAM limited (16GB non-ECC). PVE is running on 2 x 120GB SATA SSD Storage is 1 x 8TB SATA HDD, will add another 8TB HDD for Mirror in the future. 1. ZFS question: Other posts have said that...

I have VMs assigned to various vlans and they seem to work fine, with the "VLAN aware" switch in vmbr0 unchecked. The OCD in me wants to turn it on (after all I have multiple vlans in the network) but I am concerned I will lock myself out of the proxmox server (I am not physically in the same...

I installed PVE on a single 120GB drive. I now have a 2nd 120GB drive on hand. Is it possible to mirror the PVE OS drive without reinstalling? I found this guide however it is from 2009 https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/howto-move-installation-from-single-disk-to-raid.1061/ Thank you

A cctv server is always getting hammered on disk writes. Is it feasible as a VM? I am torn between baremetal or VM cctv server. Has anyone run cctv servers in a high density cctv environment (80 cameras split across 3 servers) under proxmox or VMs in general? -------- As to VM or LXC, what...

I understand that the general rule is VM for a production environment but the tinkerer in me is curious. What would be the downside of running a production cctv server (unifi video on ubuntu 18.04) in a container. ---- A cctv server is always getting hammered on disk writes. Is it even...

One of the disks in my node has failed. I've made a backup and the affected VM is now running from another disk. However, I can't delete the old VM. With the error: TASK ERROR: storage 'DISK_01' does not exist --- Doing it in CLI yields the same error: root@PROXMOX:~# qm destroy 500...

After finally managing to start the windows xp guest on proxmox (I have successfully passed the inaccessible boot device error), the next issue is the above thread title. The latest virtio drivers only works from windows 8 and above. I will try each version going from the latest to the...
