bbgeek17 replied to the thread hotplug a ISO image to a running VM.Hi @mjam3204 , welcome to the forum. An IDE bus is not hot-plug aware. You can try switching to SCSI connected ISO for better luck Cheers Blockbridge: Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox -
bbgeek17 replied to the thread Missing pve entry?.Hi @kolson3208 , welcome to the forum. You are likely misremembering. There is no universal "pve" entry in the left tree. You may have had one, ie storage pool name or VE name, but we wouldn't know about it. Your storage has question marks...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread data lost for time window.It occurred to me, now that you have vendor confirmation, you can build a test PVE (perhaps even with nested virtualization). Build a VM where you can generate traffic that will overwhelm the backup throughput and temporary location. This should...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread FC San Boot Installation: Fails to enable Multipath kernel boot argument during ISO boot.I believe for FC boot the advice has always been to install PVE over Debian: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_13_Trixie And in this case, you'd use standard Debian instructions for SAN boot. Blockbridge : Ultra low...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread data lost for time window.Sounds like my theory was right :-) That said, I believe PBS , which uses similar approach (or should I say was the first to use this approach) , has this situation under control. IMHO a backup solution that leaves your data at risk when host...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread [Help Needed] Veeam on Proxmox Error: "Failed to prepare disks for restore".Hi @ThiBot , welcome to the forum. PVE9 is not supported by Veeam yet. There are workarounds that are mentioned both in this forum and in Veeam's...

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?.NAS, SAN, etc. Whether one is more lightweight than the other is in the eye of the beholder. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox

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...
