    bbgeek17 replied to the thread Slow backups sabotaging VMs.
    I would think the steps are the same as troubleshooting any generic slow application whose job is to transfer data: - record/analyze CPU load on both side - record/analyze disk load - record/analyze network load, errors You may want to install...

    Hi @NateNate , You have not shared your exact configuration of either the networking or the PVE storage subsystem. If my understanding of your description is correct, you are specifying an IP address in storage.cfg: - if you use the mgmt, the...

    bbgeek17 reacted to esnmb's post in the thread PVE in Enterprise Environments with Like Like.
    Thank you all. Coming from VMware and running mission critical workloads, we would definitely require some form of 24x7 support. If we end up going this route, I'll go with that suggestion and get customer references.

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread PVE in Enterprise Environments.
    It is a bit of a catch-22 situation. PVE is elegantly straightforward to manage, and firms with strong Linux administration skills often find they do not require partner involvement. At the same time, forum members tend to be more technically...

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread PVE in Enterprise Environments.
    Hi @esnmb , as an enterprise storage vendor we see all ranges of business customers moving to PVE. How they solve the support needs differs from self-supporting to partner engagement, to relying on Proxmox support. We have yet to hear about a...

    "ddrescue" is great but OP's file is in ESXi on VMFS. "dd" is available in ESXi, "ddrescue" is not. "conv=noerror" option should be sufficient. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox -...

    I believe OP is stuck in the GUI widget of VM creation or an "add ISO" widget. They are expecting to see their ISO storage and do not. I.e. this is not related to in-VM operations or hardware. Most likely OP did not mark their storage as ISO...

    At the very least you need to provide outputs of: cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg pvesm status I would also recommend reviewing: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage:_Directory Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox -...

    Great job tracing it down @pastrufazio . The corrupted region of the disk was likely not needed/used by the VM and hence was not affecting the functionality. Of course one day a disk Write could have hit it and then you would have had an issue...

    Hi @TVKP , welcome to the forum. All your questions are valid to ask. The answers, as usual, depend on variables that are too many to list them all. 1 Storage: the choices between centralized SAN and Distributed storage will be influenced by...

    "Tags" is the way to go -- I'm using it, and it looks exactly as I want it (and is even more powerful beyond my limited needs... ).

    Just keep in mind that there are installations with 100s if not thousands VLANs. There are already TAGs that can address your need in a way. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox

    Think of PVE as an appliance, especially if you have not installed it on a vanilla Debian base. Can you install almost anything on Linux - yes. Have we seen Crowdstrike bring down quarter of the world IT - yes. Have they fixed _known_ bugs -...

    I am not aware of any way the pve-guests.service could be related to the apt-get lock in Debian. But if that worked for you - great! Cheers! Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox
