bbgeek17 replied to the thread iscsi storage motion.Sounds like you need to make a lot of architectural decisions based on your business needs. The only thing to add - you may want to consider PBS for local and off-site backup. Good luck Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage... -
bbgeek17 replied to the thread iscsi storage motion.There are many storage technologies available. Ceph is a member of Distributed Storage, SAN is a Centralized Storage. Each has it's own use-cases. In storage "replication" generally refers to Disaster Recovery, i.e. across sites. "High...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread iscsi storage motion.Hi @fastboar154 , welcome to the forum. If you want storage redundancy, you need to invest in a solution that’s designed for it. There are software models that implement mirroring or data distribution across independent nodes - Ceph is an...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Iscsi doubt.Hi @morocho1979 , while your question is not completely clear to me, I am going to fill in the blanks and the answer is "yes, it is possible". Having the same Target on multiple IPs (Portals) is exactly what you want for proper Multipath. You...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread FibreChannel setup in PVE. Weird packet drops on VMs running on 2nd node added after 1st node..So these are mixed-use ports that can change personality based on user choices. In that case, your issue does not have anything to do with Multipath or LVM, but you ports/switch/cards are likely misconfigured in some way. I would lean on your...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread FibreChannel setup in PVE. Weird packet drops on VMs running on 2nd node added after 1st node..You are not wrong. It will likely fail because there is already an LVM signature on the disk, but there is no reason to try. Have you examined the Task log, the journalctl of the source and target nodes? This has nothing to do with FC, SAN...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread do not have file in /var/lib/vz/images once VM created.To expand on @gfngfn256 's solution - by using qemu-img directly you essentially bypassed all PVE mechanisms. You could do this, but you need to know about and do all the other steps manually as well. The "qm disk import" is the way to go...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread NVMe over TCP support?.Yes, PVE works excellently with NVMe/TCP. It comes with recent enough Kernel with stable NVMe/TCP support. We test and support iSCSI and NVMe/TCP equally for our PVE customers. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread How to resize VM disk.This is a pass-through disk, you would not be resizing it via "qm" . In theory, the new size should be automatically recognized on full stop/start. You can try running "qm disk rescan", but I am not sure it would help. Blockbridge : Ultra low...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread iSCSI Errors in System Log.Hi @gswhiteuk , welcome to the forum. For a homelab your iSCSI target returns an excessive number of unique portals. Not counting the IPv6 portal, there are 21 unique IPs just in your sample... The "exit 15" refers to an iSCSI session that is...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread NAS/Cluster best practice recommendation.Generic NAS usually provides 3 types of storage that are suitable for PVE: iSCSI, NFS, and CIFS. Since it appears that Snapshot support is your business requirement, NFS and CIFS are your choices. NFS is preferred, so you are back to NFS. There...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Best Storage Setup for Proxmox VE on a Dedicated Server? (Performance Question).Note that the "highest" is not always the best. A single CPU configuration can be more efficient than dual. You may want to review our KB article here: https://kb.blockbridge.com/technote/proxmox-tuning-low-latency-storage/index.html You have...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Best Storage Setup for Proxmox VE on a Dedicated Server? (Performance Question).Without going into models, types, etc - SSD for OS is sufficient. As for the "raid war" - there are many articles and opinions about this. You just have to pick the one that makes you more comfortable...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Snapshot Rollback not possible.Hi @katamadone , It seems to me that you could produce a repeatable repro procedure and supply veeam support with it.

bbgeek17 replied to the thread ISCSI configuration issue.I feel that our KB article covers the topic very well: https://kb.blockbridge.com/technote/proxmox-lvm-shared-storage/#initialize-the-multipath-device-as-an-lvm-physical-volume-pv I could be biased, but perhaps you could read it and ask more...
