Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Using qcow2 for 20TB disks on iSCSI SAN (NVMe, 25G, multipath) — any risk of corruption or performance issues?.It would be worthwhile to consider this question in light of the use case. Normally when you have large datasets its better to leave the data on native storage; why are they such large virtual disks?

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Proxmox HA cluster with Ceph.Where did you get that idea?! ceph doesnt care about ANY of those things. Just be aware that the overall performance of the cluster will be as slow as the slowest monitor. ceph doesnt need or perform any live migration. As for memory, nodes...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Considering Proxmox use case...doubts..This CAN be done, but only if you use MACOS as your parent OS and virtualize windows and linux- you can use parallels, vmware (which is free now btw) or UTM. PVE is not meant for desktop use as you describe.

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread About Proxmox VE & PBS features.the OG percs did. ever since 13g all percs including the H7xx and H8xx series offer naked passthrough mode- so anything 12gig SAS or newer.

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Comparison of virtualization feature set: XCP-NG vs PVE (Proxmox) -- VMware migration decision (VMware Alternative).The whole discussion around storage options seems to be needlessly around filestore. first class storage citizens for PVE is ZFS (standalone) and Ceph (Cluster.) reusing existing iSCSI/FC SANs necessitates tradeoffs- PVE means no snapshots (this...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Proxmox VE host backup - best option for now.This isnt necessary if the original datastore still exists. Once you restore storage.cfg everything should just work.
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Proxmox VE host backup - best option for now.Divide "catastrophic" into 2 categories. one is with your virtual payload and one is with your infrastructure. Consequently, its good practice to keep payload and infrastructure separated in terms of storage. when something catastrophic occurs...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Proxmox VE host backup - best option for now.Backing up PVE in itself is not all that useful or even desirable, and should be downright avoided if a member of a cluster- cluster members are cattle not pets. If you DO want to back up the host (lord knows why) any linux backup method would...
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread About Proxmox VE & PBS features.No. that functionality is dependent on your hardware, and might need some intelligence/built tooling by the operator. PVE isnt a storage device. yes. as a matter or fact, ANY filestore can be used for backup (a SAN would need a local resource to...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Comparison of virtualization feature set: XCP-NG vs PVE (Proxmox) -- VMware migration decision (VMware Alternative).that doesnt really mean much. Centos 7 may not be further maintained (EOLed) BY REDHAT but that doesnt mean that downstream users cant backport and maintain their software on their own. its just more work. IBM's decisions to not provide resources...

Like.
"It sounds"... a very artificial language. It sounds large language model language. It sounds AI :-(. -
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Comparison of virtualization feature set: XCP-NG vs PVE (Proxmox) -- VMware migration decision (VMware Alternative).those two things are not mutually exclusive. xcp-ng uses centos for its baseos and userland apps. see https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2020/12/17/centos-and-xcpng-future/ worth noting that xcp-ng version at that time (2020) was 8.2, and as of 8..3...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Proxmox VE Architecture | Permissions issues related to multi-user VM and NFS.so lets put things in perspective- your deluge problem isnt with permissions, its with a firewall. As for permissions in general, the relevent factors will be of WHO owns your processes; this will be different depending on whether you are using...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Comparison of virtualization feature set: XCP-NG vs PVE (Proxmox) -- VMware migration decision (VMware Alternative).Thats an understatement. You have yet to provide ANY argument, data, or reason to validate that assertion. it kinda makes the whole table pointless since you make conclusions without any need for the table.

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Ceph - Reduced data availability: 3 pgs inactive.the ceph documentation has a dedicated page for pg troubleshooting: https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/rados/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-pg/ this is also a good resource: https://ceph.io/geen-categorie/ceph-manually-repair-object/ generally...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Which Machine Would You Use.zfs and btrfs have similarity, but are not the same. Their LVM component CAN handle vdev distribution (eg, raid) but do not have to. The reason you dont want to put zfs and btrfs on top of raid is the potential for egregious write amplification...
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread [SOLVED] Advice Needed - Mass storage for archive.This serves no purpose, since the payload resides exclusively on that node. do as @BobhWasatch suggested.
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Suggestions for low cost HA production setup in small company.ZFS replication isnt a replacement for proper shared storage as it is asynchronous. a small cluster should be 2 real nodes, 1 quorum, and external shared storage (block or file)
-
Aalexskysilk reacted to VictorSTS's post in the thread Suggestions for low cost HA production setup in small company with Like.
If Ceph doesn't let you write is because some PG(s) don't have enough OSD to fulfill the size/min.size set on a pool. In a 3 host Ceph cluster, for that to happen you either have to: Lose 2 hosts: you won't have quorum neither on Ceph nor on PVE...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Comparison of virtualization feature set: XCP-NG vs PVE (Proxmox) -- VMware migration decision (VMware Alternative).so... how do you qualify "stability" as a feature? do you have metrics comparing to other hypervisors? I'm not saying this is wrong, its just not present in your comparison matrix as such. As for VM backup with "important" functions- the ones...
