    Advice for a redundant SAN?

    What is the best Open Source solution to create a SAN for a 13 node proxmox cluster? I wouldn't want to use a product that after a year I find the license cost doubled or the company going bankrupt ;-) In the past I tried with Ceph.. but the snaps were much much slower than ZFS and over time...

    vnc does not work in cluster

    Hi, I have three nodes in a cluster and when I try to VNC in the other two nodes's VMs, it doesn't work. Only the host node works. From my understanding, it's something to do with ssh? Can someone give a few pointers on how and what to set to have this working properly? Thanks

    Virtualising OPNSense on a Proxmox cluster – Chicken vs Egg

    I would like to virtualise my OPNSense router, but I can’t get my head around how the network and my 3 node Proxmox cluster would deal with this. For example to setup a Proxmox cluster you need the machines to already have IP addresses and a working DNS. In my case the servers are also dropped...

    Creating cluster with 5 nodes where many containers/VMs have same VMID/CTID

    Hello. I have 5 separate nodes running now and I'm planning to create 1 cluster for all of them. However, they each have VM/CT IDs starting at "100". Will this present a problem, as far as ID conflicts, or will pvecm resolve these automagically? If I have to change IDs on the 4 nodes I wish to...

    Running PVE nodes from iPXE boot and one-off NFS clone into ramdisk?

    So I am completely aware this would be considered officially unsupported as already installing PVE on top of Debian is, however I basically would like to hear from someone who attempted the same or abandoned doing so and why. The logic behind iPXE booting multiple nodes is ease of management -...

    Verbessungsvorschlag: API REST GET /api2/json/cluster/tasks > VMID

    Hallo zusammen, sobald man eine VM im Cluster verschiebt verschwinden auch deren alten Tasks, die Tasks sind also immer Node gebunden. Leider lässt sich über die API "GET /api2/json/cluster/tasks" keine VMID als Filter anhängen. [upid] =>...

    oVirt Replacement with Proxmox

    Hi Community, please note that we are planning to replace our oVirt setup with 7 hosts and 330 VMs. The VMs are located on iSCSI which is shared among the hosts. From the documentation it looks like that Proxmox is not capable of using iSCSI luns in a similar way like oVirt. Means features...

    Proxmox Cluster Network Communication

    Hi Proxmox-Community, I've finally decided to upgrade from a single node to a cluster (both run on Hetzner servers). The goal would be that the public IPs of the second node do not have any Proxmox ports open (e.g. 8006) and all communication uses the private link. So I've created a vSwitch on...
