Aalexskysilk reacted to bbgeek17's post in the thread [SOLVED] Clarification request – SAN FC shared storage, Proxmox snapshots and Veeam backup compatibility with
Like.
Hi @katti, You do not need storage snapshots for Veeam backup of any type of storage pool in PVE. 1 Yes, you can have snapshots with FC SAN by using new tech-preview feature... -
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Proxmox Install Failing on R740xd - PERC H730P.the (much) greater likelihood is that this disk is failing. have you run a smart test? (smarctl --test=long /dev/sda) Assuming the drives are NOT bad, next is to run a full lifecycle upgrade. has the problem gone away? If not, your machine is...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Proxmox VE 9.1.1 – Windows Server / SQL Server issues.thats a completely normal behavior for windows. It happens to me on a desktop- explorer really likes to cross all the t's and dot all the i's. if you want faster file copy use a different tool (eg, robocopy.) Not sure if that relates to the...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread New Cluster for VMware migration.I dont believe NFS is an option on an IBM FlashSystem 5200- maybe yours is a different product?

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Best architecture for running 50+ VDSs each with its own Proxmox VE on a large Dedicated Server (2 TB RAM).well then, I dont have any useful advice for you. go forth and prosper :)

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Best architecture for running 50+ VDSs each with its own Proxmox VE on a large Dedicated Server (2 TB RAM).makes a lot more sense- but still doesnt answer why you want the vps to run proxmox. Also, in this configuration you really want to use shared storage and not local drives. you can still use nvmes with ceph.
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Best architecture for running 50+ VDSs each with its own Proxmox VE on a large Dedicated Server (2 TB RAM).because its dumb. YOU might convolute a way to make it make sense; in my world, customers pay me to AVOID complexity. again, the product is the VM.
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Best architecture for running 50+ VDSs each with its own Proxmox VE on a large Dedicated Server (2 TB RAM).so the PRODUCT is 20 VMs, not a hypervisor.

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Best architecture for running 50+ VDSs each with its own Proxmox VE on a large Dedicated Server (2 TB RAM).Thats... absurd. you're wasting all those resources without any benefit; a cluster is of no value if all resources are HOSTED BY THE SAME DEVICE.
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Best architecture for running 50+ VDSs each with its own Proxmox VE on a large Dedicated Server (2 TB RAM).This is how I look at it. You are offering to operate a bus for people. but instead of selling seats, you are putting busses inside your bus. Whats the use case?! If you're trying to offer a customer resources that they can distribute between...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Best architecture for running 50+ VDSs each with its own Proxmox VE on a large Dedicated Server (2 TB RAM).you use the word "need" in a context I dont understand. This isn't a rational product offering as far as I can tell.
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Best architecture for running 50+ VDSs each with its own Proxmox VE on a large Dedicated Server (2 TB RAM).You dont. I dont understand the use case enough to comment on the wisdom of the solution; please explain what you mean by VDS, and why you want proxmox inside them.
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Best architecture for running 50+ VDSs each with its own Proxmox VE on a large Dedicated Server (2 TB RAM).no. There is almost NEVER a use case for nested hypervisors except for development/lab use. Even if we assume there are no cpu/ram performance degradation that occurs with modern VT extensions (hint: there are) the consequences of cascading...
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Best architecture for running 50+ VDSs each with its own Proxmox VE on a large Dedicated Server (2 TB RAM).mapping individual disks to vms is almost never the correct approach. You can and should present a dedicated vdisk on a highly performant, highly available storage option instead of bifurcating it and offering neither. Beyond performance, having...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread [SOLVED] Streched unbalanced cluster.my bad. ignore me.
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread [SOLVED] Streched unbalanced cluster.The number of nodes isnt the issue; understand that since all data is replicated between site a and site b, you can only use the capacity of the smaller side no matter what you do- there is no benefit to having more OSD space on one side.
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread ZFS storage is very full, we would like to increase the space but....Your raid controller is most likely an LSI 9x00 based card. you can import a raid volume from virtually any LSI to any LSI RAID controller, and they are cheap and plentiful. This isnt much of a concern and can be treated as any consumable. If...
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread SSD wear with ZFS compared to BTRFS.This isnt actually true. ZFS is quite good at managing its metaslabs, and allows you to set per zvol/child fs record size. Where write amplification is a problem is when using parity raid (raidz) because trying to align written blocksize to data...
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Installing Proxmox VE 9.x on Debian with full disk LUKS (manual install).manually unlocking is what keeps this a non production ready setup. if you're serious, consider tang/clevis or other auto-unlocking mechanisms. manual intervention should only be necessary for disaster recovery.

Aalexskysilk reacted to Johannes S's post in the thread [SOLVED] Weird RAID configurations for redundancy with Like.
You can absolutely do this with ZFS, I wouldn't use the RAIDZ to host VMs (os + applications) though: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/fabu-can-i-use-zfs-raidz-for-my-vms.159923/ This is especially true if they happen to be hdds since rotating...
