    bbgeek17 replied to the thread FC SAN cluster in proxmox.
    Hi @nbani, @floh8 is correct. You can present the FC storage to all nodes in the cluster, configure the Multipath, and then layer the LVM that PVE can operate on as Storage Pool. The reason the FC is not called out in those documents, is because...

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread Shared ISCSI Storage VG's?.
    There may be a slight advantage of having multiple LUNs and Multiple Targets from a queue depth perspective. However, that generally applies to very high performance storage with fast clients. Without knowing anything about your performance...

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread Shared ISCSI Storage VG's?.
    Hi @ajezierski , welcome to the forum. You need to create LVM using the Multipath DM device, not the underlying direct physical devices. So to answer your question - one VG per unique LUN. In your case 3 Volume groups (or you can combine your...

    PVE does not use Vendor section of the CI. I believe the hostname is set via metadata file when built-in CI is used You can easily check this by mounting the ISO after VM has booted and examining the content of the files. local-hostname"...

    Hi @alma21, There is no mechanism to do so. Theoretically, a window exists where both operations could be executed at the same time. In practice, however, the likelihood of this happening is very low. This is especially true in a business...

    @Impact is correct, one VM has local-lvm backing TPM disk, the other directory/raw. Raw file format does not support snapshot capability. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox
  • bbgeek17
    I'd say it's because of the .raw TPM disk. Don't use Directory if you can help it.

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread Hostname cloud-init.
    Hi @Collbrothers , welcome to the forum. The dump command _always_ shows only the output that refers to _internal_ cloudInit configuration in PVE. It does not read/interpret your snippets. Once you use custom snippet the internal data is no...

    You can try to "ls -alR /dev|grep mpath". You will likely find it in /dev/mapper. You can also grep for dm-5, or 36000d310055d34000000000000000028 Cheers Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox -...

    Hi @unsichtbarre , You are more than halfway there. The only thing left to do is set up LVM. There are two main ways to configure iSCSI with Proxmox Virtual Environment. The first method is to use the built-in PVE iSCSI storage pool. The...

    Thanks for your points. While GFS2 technically works, I would not recommend it for production use. This setup was only a PoC to demonstrate what could be achieved. We also added PBS as a qdevice to provide proper quorum handling for HA. For...

    As our customers are businesses and enterprises, I'd never recommend to them to use unsupported technology combination. That said, necessity is the mother of invention/adaptation. The minimum requirements of GFS2 do not negate the minimum...
