    HA & last_man_standing + wait_for_all

    It's nowhere in the PVE official docs, but corosync does support last_man_standing and when used with HA it is suggested to also set wait_for_all. I found some previous threads, but not in relation to HA. Now I understand the official PVE endorsed way would be to just use a qdevice, but this...

    What is wrong with High Availability?

    Test scenario, 3 nodes - pve{3,4,5} - default PVE install (LVM, so no ZFS), 1 container set as HA, started on pve3. Figured out replication not possible without ZFS, alright, never mind, pve3 went down, HA attempted to restart CT on pve4, no volume available, still understood. Now when pve3...

    Moving virtual HDD only to another node?

    Hi everyone, I was adding another node to my cluster today (node 4), and during the process, node 1 decided to crash. This triggered the HA, and it began spinning the VM up on node 2. The HA migration failed, and the hard disk was never moved. On node 2, I see the VM and the config; and on node...

    Hi, We would like to use HA pair of Proxmox servers and data replication in Proxmox therefore shared storage is required (ZFS, BTRFS?). We also want to use Hardware RAID instead of ZFS erasure coding or RAID in BTRFS. Does proxmox define what commands/setitngs are required in order to setup...

    Clean shutdown of whole cluster

    Hi, what is the recommended procedure to shutdown a complete PVE cluster including HA resources? The manual only talks about maintenance of single nodes, but sometimes it is necessary to shutdown everything. We have observed that a simple shutdown on all nodes is not sufficient as HA fencing...

    Odd problem with auto-migrated VMs to wrong hosts, plus how best to disable HA for now?

    We have a Proxmox cluster comprising two identical large machines, with 120 cores and 370+ gig of memory, and with each machine having two ZFS disk pools, Tank1 of 50TB HDD, and Tank2 of 2TB of SSD, and a third less powerful machine with just one ZFS pool, a mirrored paid of 10TB disks...

    What is the best way to handle High Availability between nodes with different storage setups?

    I have read through the documentation and I'm not sure I'm following it well because I'm not even sure if what I want to accomplish is possible with Proxmox or not so I thought I'd ask here. I have a Proxmox node setup and hosting several containers and VMs. This started as a hobby and chance...
