bbgeek17 replied to the thread Issue with attached ISO, cannot migrate VM to second host.It may be worth filing a detailed bug/enhancement here https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/ where it will get evaluated by developers and accepted/rejected. I would first confirm the behavior - create a test VM, attach ISO, take a snapshot...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Configure flash drives with IBM FlashSystem 5200.You've asked the right person!

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Proxmox 9.1.1 FC Storage via LVM.Thank you for providing additional information. We will review and digest. We do not use either LVM or QCOW in our integration with PVE, so we have limited exposure with these technologies in some of our legacy customer environments. Our most...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Homelab/Home Office 2-Node Proxmox Setup: When to Use PDM vs PVE-CM (Clustering)?.If I am not mistaken, there is no "shared storage" concept with PDM. While you can migrate the VMs across two independent PVEs, that is achieved via remote-copy, not shared storage. Even ZFS replication, when managed by PVE, requires a cluster...

Like.
Thanks @bbgeek17. 'a' worked. I had a feeling I was going to need to try that, but its a bit awkward to do in my setup - needed to create a new vm to be able to debootstrap it, etc. I was hoping for an easy answer or something wrong in my... -
bbgeek17 replied to the thread [SOLVED] Help request - PVE8.4 - Networking appears to have died.I'd say this is not surprising at all. Very often when network-dependent services start without network being available they are not able to properly engage. A restart is a prudent step.

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Proxmox 9.1.1 FC Storage via LVM.Hi @ertanerbek, we’re mostly on the same page: Fibre Channel is far from dead in large enterprise environments. That said, investing in legacy entry SANs (for example an HPE MSA or older Dell ME models), or even trying to repurpose them, purely...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Migration & Backup issues with NFS Dell unity storage.Hi @criva , can you clarify what has changed? You mentioned that "situation has improved" - does it mean the backup is no longer reading zeroes? I'd be surprised if NAS dedup/compression is playing a role in serving client hosts zeroes instead...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread strange issues with snapshot backups.Yes, we are on the same page about it. The OP seemed to indicate that PBS in their particular case is remote. Fleecing storage is still a benefit, even if PBS is brought local and then synced to remote site. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread CEPH stretched cluster : PVE partition is not the same as the CEPH partition !.Even though PVE and Ceph operate in a hyperconverged setup, the two stacks remain independent, as you’ve discovered. Their quorum/voting mechanisms are separate, which means you can end up in a “hyperconverged split-brain” scenario. As @aaron...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Issue with attached ISO, cannot migrate VM to second host.This situation seems to me as a candidate for improvement. An ISO reference in snapshot should not prevent HA/manual migration, or require snapshot deletion. When/if the system rolls back to that snapshot - there is no guarantee that ISO is...

Oh, I see. Thank you. With that strict list in mind, you're right. This list would however apply to any storage vendor as the only viable PVE option is mpath+lvm in such a setup, yet it would still work without a problem as you already said.

And it also prevents PVE from connecting to the remove PBS every 10 seconds (which is something people also complain about).
