    Hi All, While setting up automated testing for PVE 9, we observed that several udev properties were missing from SCSI block devices. After some investigation, we traced the issue to a regression in the sg_inq tool (part of sg3_utils). The bug...

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread What's root@pam?.
    Here is a bit more info : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_PAM In PVE context, PAM is the native OS user/authentication, i.e. one-to-one user relationship between logging into PVE and OS. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared...

    Hi @Ced91 , the issue with 2-node cluster, or 4-node cluster is that if you have a failure and only half of the nodes come up - you will not have a majority/quorum. You need an odd-node cluster for proper operations, ie 3,5,7,etc. The clustering...

    The orange indicates that the disk will not be available until VM cold start. I am not finding a documentation reference, however tribal knowledge suggests SATA is not hot-pluggable either...

    It should not matter what underlying hardware you are using, unless you are doing pass-through? If you post your VM configuration before and after adding a disk, it will be clearer. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for...

    Hi @MABelleville_JW , welcome to the forum. "Partition" terminology is usually used for a portion of a disk. It sounds like you are adding an additional Virtual Disk (disk image). Based on your description that a reboot is required, it likely...

    Hi @nirungu , welcome to the forum. The PVE GUI is a separate service from PVE virtualization layer (QEMU). The GUI relies on a number of services, in particular it needs "pvestatd" to return good information. "pvestatd" could be "confused" due...

    The "apt update" will fail until you have valid/reachable repositories. You can remove the backports repo: sudo sed -i '/^deb .*bullseye-backports/d' /etc/apt/sources.list You can also use some fancy "apt" options, but since this repo is not...

    Hi @Ced91 , welcome to the forum. Two node cluster is not supported for anything beyond home-lab, and even so with many caveats. You need a 3-node cluster, where the 3rd can be a non-vm-hosting (i.e. a qdevice). You already have this This is...

    Your root filesystem is dangerously full. Perhaps, if you provide the output of the "df" commands that were shared earlier in the thread, someone in the community can give you a more targeted advice. Cheers Blockbridge : Ultra low latency...

    Hi @707 welcome to the forum. There is more to the error, adding those remaining words is critical. If I were to guess - you did not disable Enterprise repo and did not enable the no-sub repo. Another common pitfall - bad DNS. Blockbridge ...

    To answer your original question - you do not need to remove and re-add the LUNs to have the human-readable device names match. Properly LVM your disks (thick) and you should be ok. If you continue having issues provide: - cat /etc/storage.cfg -...

    So all those disks from your lsblk output with identical size and structure are just identically-sized individual LUNs? Run: lsblk -o NAME,KNAME,TYPE,HCTL,SIZE,MODEL,SERIAL Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox -...

    The system will be confused by multiple disks having the same signature. I recommend that you finish the configuration of the storage first, before doing app testing. If you insist on doing it in the opposite order - cut all but one path...

    Hi @unsichtbarre , welcome to the forum. Your post skips over important details, answering them would have the community to assist better: How did you do this? Did you use PVE iSCSI storage pool? PVE Direct iSCSI? Direct iscsiadm? Some other...

    According to this table https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage iSCSI/Direct is capable of being marked as Shared. As such, you should be able to use that storage type to directly connect VM to the LUN and keep the migration. The other option is to...

    Hi @Gabin , welcome to the forum. Yes, you can create what you are looking for and stick with 1gbit network and less performant storage technologies. Try one of the many OCFS related tutorials, here on the forum and elsewhere. However...
