    OpenVswitch bridge for Cluster VMs across private network

    I have set up a cluster with VMs on different host nodes: h1, h2, h3, h4 I have used a OpenVswitch bridge (vmbr2) defined on h1: auto vmbr2 iface vmbr2 inet manual ovs_type OVSBridge post-up ovs-vsctl add-port vmbr2 gre1 -- set interface gre1 type=gre options:remote_ip=''ip...

    Decrease size of VM hard disk

    I have a VM with a 42 GB hard disk (format raw, zfs file system) which I'd like to reduce to 32 GB. I thought I could use parted to reduce the partition on the VM first and then decrease the PVE size but I'm struggling to find a method to do this? Is there any method / documentation available?

    scp speed (MB/s) between VMs on same host

    I am testing some file transfer speeds in PVE 6.2-4. I have got two VMs on a host both using same bridge (with no ports/slave) for private network (192.168.1.X). They are both using VIRTIO network device, a zfs pool for harddisk space and have 3GB or RAM and 1 socket, 2 Core CPU. The file...

    Storage types for HA and live migration

    I have configured a 5 node PVE cluster with VMs accessible via NAT. I created ZFS storage on each PVE node (using some of the hdisks) for VM disks. I then set up VM replication from node 1 to 2, 2 to 3 ... 5 to 1 every 10 mins and using HA could get VMs to migrate and (re-)start automatically...

    VM / VM template local-lvm: Which disk is it using?

    I have created some VMs and VM templates on a PVE node for testing. The node has a SSD and 4 SAS drives. I installed PVE on the SSD drive and assumed when i selected local-lvm as the VM disks the VMs would all use the SSD for storage too. When I look under Node > Disks now I see that the usage...

    Cluster: Host node ZFS redundancy with additional (storage) replication for VMs /CTs - best practice?

    I am looking at the option of configuring a PVE cluster with storage replication (using a ZFS pool across the cluster nodes) so VMs and CTs can be moved to another node if the original host node has a failure. This is probably a PVE independent question but: when I create the initial ZFS...

    [TUTORIAL] PVE 6.2 Private VM (NAT) network configuration setup

    I had been trying to create a private IP (NAT) setup for my VMs and managed to do it as follows, heavily relying on infomation in reference [1]. I have re-titled this as a Tutorial now: 1. In the Proxmox web interface for the host network configuration create a second bridge: vmbr1 with IP...

    Pseudo HA using VM Replication in Proxmox

    I'm exploring methods to provide redundancy/failover for VMs running on a PVE cluster. I am wondering if, using the Proxmox Replication functionality I can: 1. replicate a VM on Node1 to another node (say Node2) in the cluster at a certain time point T, 2. automatically or manually start the...

    Proxmox CEPH and VM cluster network configuration

    I have got 5 nodes with 2 physical NICs connected on each. I have assigned each node (management) a public IP address on my network (10.140.79.X) using the default Proxmox setup and created a Cluster. I plan to create a second bridge for private network for VMs. I also want to install CEPH to...

    Proxmox cluster: how to configure network for VMs

    I am new to Proxmox and wondering how best to configure a network on a cluster so that the VMs are acccessed via the physcal (host) node IP addresses. i.e. I don't want to take up lots of IP addresses on my network so ideally there will be a bunch of VMs on a private network and they can only be...

    [SOLVED] The installer could not find a supported hard disk (Dell R620 / H730 PERC Mini)

    I have tested out Proxmox (most recent release) using nested virtualization and now want to test it on a physical node: a Dell R630 server which has a SATA and 2 SAS drives installed. I create a bootable iso on a USB drive (DD mode) and booted to this and then selected the option to install but...
