    Hi @2000gtacoma , You should look into "saferemove" option for storage pool (man pvesm // search for saferemove). I believe when an LVM/qcow is removed, the standard option is just to delete the metadata. The actual user data is still left on...

    lvremove simply deletes the metadata entry. The actual data is still on disk. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox

    The additional information you provided seems to confirm my theory that you had a disk that was was not wiped on deletion. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread Used disk on new VM.
    Hi @mlukasik , Its possible that you are running into a situation where a VM or its disk were removed but not wiped. The data is still on the physical disk and can be read by other processes/VMs. That said, you did not provide sufficient data...

    Hi. The output you provided is from the very first moments of your PC boot. It contains nothing of value for the question at hand. I've asked AI to generate a quick list of commands that can assist in troubleshooting a failed PVE instance...

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread 2 Nodes and ISCSI Storage.
    @ASM-Network You could try to configure two iSCSI storage pools and scope each to one node only (using "nodes" option). Or you can simply use direct iscsiadm commands to manually connect iSCSI on each server and only use shared LVM pool. The...

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread 2 Nodes and ISCSI Storage.
    Please run the commands that were requested earlier. The configuration and system state may be clear to you, but the forum members are not familiar with your infrastructure. It is unusual for a system to present two different iSCSI targets out...

    Hi @Andrei18 , welcome to the forum. Have you played with clustering this system at any point? The screenshot indicates that not all PVE services are starting. You can check "systemctl" for additional information. Also, "journalctl -b0" may be...

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread 2 Nodes and ISCSI Storage.
    Hi @ASM-Network , welcome to the forum. This is an unusual configuration. What forced you down this particular path? Is the Sever2 connected to Port2 on Controller1 or Controller2? No, you can't just edit storage.cfg on the second server. The...

    Hi @Pigi_102 , LVM is not a filesystem; it is a volume manager. The logical volumes it creates are exposed as raw block devices. The volume is attached to the VM as a virtual disk, and the filesystem is created and managed inside the VM. Because...

    Proxmox has the ability to incorporate patches and build updated packages as needed. Given that Proxmox VE is frequently deployed as an appliance, and is relied upon by many enterprise environments, there may be cases where, depending on the...

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread [SOLVED] ISO Storage.
    Hi @StephenW , Currently, the ISOs have to be in root of the template/iso. The easiest way to accommodate this is to symlink the files. For example, if you have: /mnt/iso/windows /mnt/iso/linux Create: /mnt/iso/template. Or...

    Hi @RJ-4816 , welcome to the forum. There are two ways to go about this: a) If available, use your array Snapshot and Clone capabilities to create an identical copy of your LUN's data. Then experiment on it with data recovery. b) Create a LUN...

    Hi @smirandac1978 , welcome to the forum. As a general advice - it is recommended to open your own thread rather than bumping something from two years ago. To answer your question - its impossible to know whether you can make a VM boot from...

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread Snapshot Rollback not possible.
    If I understand it correctly, in a native PVE/PBS case the bitmap is stored in-memory (QEMU). This leads to it being lost any time a VM is fully shutdown, i.e. bitmap is non-persistent. Veeam is using a different integration method of storing...

    Yes, i figured it was your bug. It was more for the wider audience here on the forum who will come across this thread in the future. Cheers. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox
