    bbgeek17 replied to the thread Quick Question About Multipath.
    There is no built-in way to assign user-friendly names to the devices, if you want to continue using DATASTORE* - you have to continue doing it manually. You didnt specify what version of PVE you are using. In PVE9, for example, ...

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread Quick Question About Multipath.
    How @adrianovf , Proxmox VE does not, currently, deal with Multipath at all. The management is done at the OS level which is Debian. There are Kernel and Userland parts to multipath. Generally, you should not need to edit the configuration in...

    Hello everyone, We have been working with Proxmox for 15 years, designing, developing, and maintaining software for hosting providers that use the platform. Proxmox VE has always been the main focus of this work. Over time, we have developed...

    Whatever you do - don't clobber the original VM and its files. Clone it by whatever means work with your particular installation and experiment with the clone until you get it working. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for...

    Someone has to maintain it, which means proper testing and release management. If the goal is Microsoft certification/WHQL, that also means establishing the appropriate relationship with Microsoft, going through their certification process, and...

    bbgeek17 reacted to carver.it's post in the thread SQL Server 2022 database corruption with Like Like.
    You'll be pleased to know Windows Server 2022 and SQL server is indeed stable (so far) on the virtstor drivers for 0.1.271 - cloned the machine, tested offline with new "old" drivers and everything stable and no issues even when running...

    Right, when you know you have a degraded cluster - any little blip is potentially a second and fatal failure. You either let the HA system do its job, which sounds like it performed as expected, or take over recovery by disabling HA...

    bbgeek17 reacted to d2600hz's post in the thread Proxmox HA rebooted all my nodes... with Like Like.
    We do this for all upgrades. We probably should have done this on all nodes straight away when it was in this state, but you live and learn right. Disarming HA should have probably been our first step.

    You may want to investigate the "cluster maintenance" option as a tool for the future. If it acts by suspending automatic HA decisions, giving you time to reboot/recover nodes - that may be something to keep in mind. ha-manager crm-command...

    bbgeek17 reacted to d2600hz's post in the thread Proxmox HA rebooted all my nodes... with Like Like.
    We nailed it down to a failed dbus, causing a cascading effect. Just a perfect storm of things that are making us question HA a bit. i.e. we could have recovered this had HA not fenced and rebooted everything, but hindsight is wonderful right...

    Hi @Daxcor, NFS is a good choice for your use case. It is used for shared storage by a great number of entities, from home users to multi-billion-dollar corporations. NFS has been around for 42 years. The good, bad, and ugly have probably been...

    When you perform a backup with PBS, PVE/QEMU integrates the backup operation into the VM's I/O path. Data that is being modified while the backup is running has to be coordinated with the backup process. Depending on the storage, network, PBS...

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread PVE+ISCSI.
    Hi @Jianming , you can now use PVE with iSCSI storage with LVM overlay and snapshots. However, thin provisioning will need to come from the array at this point in time. These articles may be helpful to you...

    If you have not done so yet, save system journal from each host as far in the past as it allows you. At this point its probably your only lifeline to RCA. I know the hindsight is 20/20, but the best time for data collection was, unfortunately...

    I missed your recent update about dbus finding. That is a good lead. Nowhere in this thread (unless I missed it) did you post what version of PVE you are running. If I recall correctly, there were several fixes to dbus handling, in the recent 1-2...
