bbgeek17 replied to the thread Deploying a colo.It seems to me that the OP used the wrong terminology when describing their goal. Colocation means providing space in a data center for someone else’s compute, storage, and networking. Colos also provide shared network ingress/egress and, of... -

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Best Practice: shared scratch disk on Proxmox host.Thats what Samba/CIFS (or NFS) does for you - presents a storage location available for network nodes (NAS - network attached storage). If you install and configure your CIFS service inside a VM, it should still be available to all machines on...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Deploying a colo.@dmca7919 , the choice of NAS solutions is very vast. Given what you have shared about your current infrastructure and budget, frankly, I am not sure what would be a good solution for you and your customers. Good luck in your endeavor...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Deploying a colo.@smueller@TK , you've done a great job organizing and presenting data. I do wonder regarding this point: I am always surprised when a discussion about business critical infrastructure design does not presume that NAS (or SAN) is generally...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Debian 13 Cloud Image.I'd be curious to know where did you get the Cloud image that does not include the ssh. Regardless, you can build your CI snippet to install and start it...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Script to automatically migrate stopped/failed VMs?.Hi @edd , The last few words in your question are critical to the outcome in your situation. If your VM is using local storage and that storage is gone - there is no way for HA system to migrate/recover it. You'd need a pre-existing replication...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Best Practice: shared scratch disk on Proxmox host.Hi @AndyInNYC , I have not had recent experience with Samba. Perhaps someone else will chime in. One thing is certain - your request is completely unrelated to the topic of this forum "Proxmox VE: Installation and configuration". You may also...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread How to move a VM from one cluster to another.It is using remote-migrate under the hood, one can do the same it via "qm remote-migrate". Now that we know they use NFS, presuming they are not sharing the same Export across clusters, they may be able to cp/mv/ln the required files. However...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread How to move a VM from one cluster to another.Hi @iwannabfishn , The easiest method is not to go behind the curtain and manipulate the files outside of PVE. If you are running PVE9 on both sides, you can remote-migrate the VM, although it does require double the storage. Another option is to...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread [SOLVED] Custom Cloud-innit file backup issues.Hi @juronja , When you are using built-in options for CI, they are saved into VM config file which is located on the special clustered file system https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_Cluster_File_System_(pmxcfs) When you are saving the file to...

Such old systems could potentially be virtualized twice in order to run on other hypervisors. First would be some older VMware player setups that runs on linux on PVE. I haven't done this, but also switchting to VirtualBox could be possible. The...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread iSCSI under performance.Hi @pmvemf, I realized that I did not answer some of your questions: Our test WAS performed in a cluster. There are no Proxmox specific cluster-aware QoS features that would limit your storage performance. That said, there are some behaviors...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread [SOLVED] WinXP conversion from esx to pve refuses to boot.Digging deep in the memory archives, when/if you have the ISO, you may be able to do a recovery (safe?) boot to see if the disk/installation is visible. You may still need to provide proper drivers/controllers. You may then be able to "repair"...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread [SOLVED] WinXP conversion from esx to pve refuses to boot.Hi @Elleni , PVE is based on the QEMU/KVM virtualization stack. While the Proxmox team makes some enhancements, the fundamentals of QEMU virtualization are universal. Just as ESXi uses VMware Tools for guest integration, QEMU uses VirtIO...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread [TUTORIAL] Inside Proxmox VE 9 SAN Snapshot Support.Hi @spirit, Thanks for your patience. I’ve been meaning to get back to you, but things have been quite busy. On the caching side, I think there may be a bit of misunderstanding around subcluster allocation and the effect of l2_extended=on. In...
