Hi All, While setting up automated testing for PVE 9, we observed that several udev properties were missing from SCSI block devices. After some investigation, we traced the issue to a regression in the sg_inq tool (part of sg3_utils). The bug was introduced during a refactoring effort related...

I’m currently working for a company that runs a vCenter cluster using 1 Gb/s iSCSI storage on Synology SANs. Everything works perfectly snapshots, thin provisioning, multipath, etc. We’re now looking to migrate to Proxmox, and the big question is: how can we achieve the same storage capabilities...

Hallo Leute, ich habe einen ziemlich chaotischen ESXi-Server, auf dem wirklich viel Müll liegt und alles durcheinander ist. Jetzt wollte ich erstmal alle VMs von dort importieren. Am Anfang gab es Probleme, ESXi als Storage hinzuzufügen, weil eine VM ein Laufwerk im datastore2 eingebunden hatte...
