    cite your sources please. 5 monitors are "suggested" with a high number of OSD nodes. with a typical crush rule of 3:2, this only makes sense IF you have dedicated monitor nodes (eg, no OSD) AND you have environmental issues that take your nodes...

    Not at all. my (and everyone else's) participation in this forum is voluntary. Nothing you provide (or not) is necessary as long as you dont expect anything in return. you have 4 ports. how are you attaching them to 7 different devices? More...

    lets back way up. 1. you have 4 physical interfaces. what are the physically connected to? 2. describe your vlan plan, and which physical interfaces you want to have those vlans travel over 3. describe what traffic you want to use the vlans for...

    Unknown, especially since you posted output from the cluster in a healthy state. size 4 is generally a bad idea (even number; the last copy offers no utility), but it should not cause you any issues like this, especially with only one node out...

    On reflection, storage.cfg doesnt tell us anything useful; instead, post the storage configuration- raid level, disk technology and count, and subrank block size (eg, if you have a striped mirror using 4k disks, subrank size will be 4k; if you...

    there is nothing unusual about a windows VM laying claim to all assigned memory. this is normal. as for your performance issues, please post the content of: vmid.conf /etc/pve/storage.cfg

    What you're describing is a mesh network. for the purposes of the conversation, this is the same as having a single active link on each node for both public and private networking. so you're sharing the IO for any PG between the client and disk...

    you DO understand that your "speed" can't be faster than the transport. and if you are using the same interface for both public and private traffic that essentially caps your performance at 5gbit/s. this is your drives' observed latency, and has...

    That doesnt apply to ANY software applicable to an internet connected device. Security vulnerabilities are constantly identified, exploited, and patched in a never ending cat and mouse game. Moreover, a hypervisor is complex and problems are...

    yes. see https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/User_Management#pveum_permission_management you will not be DENIED support, but the first answer to any issue would be "make all cluster members the same version." This isnt unique to Nutanix or Proxmox; its...

    While I dont see what firmware is on your controller, the host bios gives me an idea of how long it's been since you've updated it; time to get the latest SPP.

    Thats the problem though isnt it; "linux" wont see the drive until you do.
  • A
    I just noticed this little bit for the drive in slot 0 you will need to reformat this disk before you can use it. its possible that the controller firmware will not let you map it until you do; so you will need to plug the drive into a real HBA...

    what about the rest of the devices? if none worked, time to see to firmware updates (run lifecycle) and/or call dell support.

    you missed a step.

    if you intend to use this in production, I suggest you spend some time familiarizing yourself with the tool (megacli.) there are many resources online for that. To answer your specific question, megacli expects enclosure:slot, so your command...

    that step might not be necessary for your specific controller; PERC cards can serve raid and jbod simultaneously.

    ahh right. ncurses5 is not available to trixie- but the good news is that we dont actually NEED it. we just need to fool the system into thinking we already have it, like so: apt install -y libncurses6 ln -s...

    Luckily for you, you dont have to be dependent on the firmware controls. once booted to PVE, install megacli/perccli. from there, you can /path/to/MegaCli64 -pdlist -a0 /path/to/MegaCli64 -AdpSetProp -EnableJBOD 1 -a0 /path/to/MegaCli64...

    alexskysilk replied to the thread OSD errors.
    What you're seeing isnt actually errors. It is, however, an indication of OSD resource starvation; if osd 4, 6 and 8 are all on the same host, check overall host load, and might need to make some adjustments hardware-wise. Alternatively, you can...
