    Hi @larryd, welcome to the forum. Its hard to provide ideas as there is not enough technical information in your post. Answering the following questions may assist members to provide some guidance: - What type of storage are you using? (Vendor...

    Hello @br8k , welcome to the forum. When you have an orphan disk, it should appear as "unusedX" in the VM's hardware configuration after doing "qm disk rescan". If it did not, there are more things to look at. One possibility - NFS is no longer...

    It should be fine to tick one and untick the other. No warranty, express or implied, regarding the results :-) If you need a more deterministic answer - purchasing a support subscription and opening the case with your Hypervisor vendor is the...

    For zeroing out the volumes you will want to change this to 1. I am not sure what you want to uncheck about the LUN access. The iSCSI storage is already set to "content image", that should be sufficient. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency...

    It is hard to say what the risk profile is. You would need to examine what this storage is, what portion of it is used and in what way. If nothing is actually using the storage or Direct LUNs, then unchecking it will not hurt. A Direct LUN means...

    The man page states: --saferemove <boolean> Zero-out data when removing LVs. It zero's out the blocks which were occupied by a particular LV, not the entire physical disk. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for...

    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
    @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...

    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...

    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...
  • bbgeek17
    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...
