    create storage failed: pvcreate error ... device is too small (pv_min_size) (500)

    Hello, I'm in the process of setting up a HP MSA2040 SAN to work with Proxmox. As I just started using a SAN, I have a little over zero knowledge of these things, so there most probably will be errors in my setup (or terms I don't use correctly). Current status is: - MSA2040 is connected via...

    correct way to pause ZFS over iSCSI connections

    HI, I need to replace a switch in one of our datacenters, that is used by a couple of PVE nodes for almost anything (corosync, ZFS over iSCSI, node to node traffic for VMs etc.). The replacement shouldn't take long, but still it may take a minute or so. For all the traffic except ZFS over...

    ZFS over iSCSI with PowerStore

    [SOLVED] Start/Destroy: "Cannot activate LVs in VG while PVs appear on duplicate devices."

    This is the same error that I posted here. However, the resolutions in that thread are not working. I've narrowed down the problem as a multipath issue, but I'm creating a new thread because this situation seems to be unique. Node A and B were clustered and are running v6.4-13 and are identical...

    iSCSI high network usage

    I mounted my synology nas via iSCSI and created a LVM on it and made it avaiable to my 3 nodes. One of those nodes is unused and is just there for quorum. On that node that runs no VMs I see really high transfer from my NAS to that proxmox instance (45MB/s continuously). Even after I remove...

    Shared Storage - best way to connect to Proxmox?

    Our current Proxmox cluster is connected to a single TrueNas Core Server. Most of the VMs are stored on a NFS-share, as this seemed to be an easy and usable solution at the time of installation. And actually it works quite well, but Snapshots via qcow2 aren't always nice to work with and there...
