bbgeek17 replied to the thread CLDAP packet corrupted when Proxmox Windows VM tries to join AD Domain.Hi @jbanham , welcome to the forum. While this is outside of our area of expertise - Storage, diagnosing strange SMB/CIFS/AD behavior definitely scratches a familiar itch. You’re correct that there are multiple network layers which the packet...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread [SOLVED] Proxmox and Terramaster H5 Hybrid DAS.More likely than not it is a hardware issue. Anywhere from DAS, to USB cable, to USB port, to USB card, and anything in the middle and both ends. PVE is not a special-purpose black-box OS. It is based on Debian Linux with Ubuntu derived Kernel...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Issue with Proxmox Autoinstaller.There seems to be an inconsistency in the documentation where both root-password and root_password are mentioned. https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Automated_Installation Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox -...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread How to Deploy ISO.Windows has a very specific driver support requirement. You either need to provide the VIRTIO drivers during the install phase, or install on a supported type of the controller. This article/chapter may be helpful...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Shared LVM over FC SAN.I’m not aware of any major SAN vendors offering solutions that can or want to expose individual disks directly as part of their standard SAN platforms. These systems are typically designed around aggregated, abstracted storage pools, not raw...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Shared LVM over FC SAN.Ceph is an example of built-in PVE storage, its capabilities as the default go-to storage in PVE infrastructure are a given. No, I was not referring to Ceph. It is not suitable for your FC infrastructure re-use. For the solution I am most...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Shared LVM over FC SAN.Hi @whiney , welcome to the forum. At this point in time you are using the primary supported option. Today, your only option to have all of the above is to use a 3rd party cluster-aware filesystem, i.e. OCFS. I'd recommend researching its...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Proxmox Cluster and Nimble iSCSI issues.You are done a generic login, there is nothing wrong with it, but also its probably not what you need to do in the context of PVE storage connectivity. Take a look at this article, and the subsection on connectivity in particular...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Proxmox Cluster and Nimble iSCSI issues.Hi @Christopheric1 , It’s been a while, and I have to admit - your original request has long since been paged out to an “offsite” memory warehouse. Now that you’ve made a major change, it would be best to restate your current issue as it relates...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread MSA 2060 SAN FC with single server (no shared access).At this point in time these two goals are incompatible when only native built-in PVE technologies are used. You need to pick either future cluster expandability or snapshots. @VictorSTS covered pretty much all sides of your question. You may...

Like.
I found this thread in a search for the same problem - I was using an outdated bookmark or search results for the helper scripts. For the sake of future travelers, I will do the opposite of what bbgeek17 did in two whole posts of text: actually... -
bbgeek17 replied to the thread Shared Storage and Concurrent Access Handling (NFS, iSCSI, ZFS over SAN).This is not a correct expectation. Whether you create iSCSI session via DC menu, or manually, the higher layers will still take care of exclusivity. As long as you don't go out of your way to trip it up. Correct. There are very few Open Source...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Shared Storage and Concurrent Access Handling (NFS, iSCSI, ZFS over SAN).That's a very open-ended statement that can't be answered with "yes" or "no". There are many "it depends" here. PVE can arbitrate exclusive access by multiple hosts. It may matter for your business needs, but it does not matter to PVE whether...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Shared Storage and Concurrent Access Handling (NFS, iSCSI, ZFS over SAN).Whether you manage your backend storage via SSH, API or GUI, does not change the end result that the LUNs presented to PVE are iSCSI (raw block). Since you tasked PVE with managing your backend storage via the appropriate plugin, it will use...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Shared Storage and Concurrent Access Handling (NFS, iSCSI, ZFS over SAN).Hi @Specimen , welcome to the forum. The primary type of file that multiple PVE nodes access in shared storage is the disk image (similar to VMDK in ESXi). When using a file-based shared storage like NFS, these are typically in QCOW2 format. You...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread How can an existing .qcow2 image be attached to a VM without modifying it ?.You can place the QCOW in appropriate directory ( /var/lib/vz/images/vm-101 https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage:_Directory). Name it appropriately, ie vm-101-disk-10.qcow2. Then you can " qm disk rescan --vmid 101". This should pick the disk up...
