bbgeek17 replied to the thread Idempotence of ansbile modules.A VM name/label is not treated as a unique identifier in PVE, or, for example, in OpenStack. The VM ID is the actual identifier. As an example, nothing in the PVE API uses the VM name or label as an addressable identifier. API operations use the... -
bbgeek17 replied to the thread Proxmox VE 9.2 – sporadic iSCSI NOP timeouts / DID_TRANSPORT_DISRUPTED with Dell PowerVault ME5 and Intel E810.Hi Werner, That's a solid advice. recv_from_iscsi_q=Y moves the receive path onto its own worker instead of running inline. If the problem is in the area where we think it is, this workaround should avoid the bug! I didn't recommend it because...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Proxmox VE 9.2 – sporadic iSCSI NOP timeouts / DID_TRANSPORT_DISRUPTED with Dell PowerVault ME5 and Intel E810.Hi Werner, Thanks for the confirmation. I think this points squarely at Linux kernel behavior, not the array or the fabric. Slow storage makes it a lot easier to hit, but it isn't the cause, IMHO. We have filed it in our dev queue for tracking...

Like.
In my $dayjob I have FC storage, very similar like yours (including multipath), coming from off-site. ( 3-2-1 ) I use that one as a secondary independent backup destination, as a directory storage to put vzdump-based backups on it. Limiting... -
bbgeek17 replied to the thread WARNING: drivers/iommu/dma-iommu.c:1953 at dma_iova_link.That's awesome to hear! Glad we could help! @fabian pinging you here, It may be worth for PVE team to look at including this fix sooner than later! Cheers Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox -...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread PBS vs Veeam B&R Proxmox Plugin - QEMU live snapshot implementation & shared LVM storage.@Johannes S: I could be mistaken, but it appears to me that you and @iceph03nix are talking about the same thing : Veeam's agents. @iceph03nix : A dedicated backup/recovery company has years of head start here. It's in Veeam's DNA. Proper...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Configure a Fibre Channel LUN as a directory in a cluster..Hi @jorge barriga , You should look into OCFS. There are a few 3rd party guides floating around, including on this forum. There is no official supported way to do what you want with PVE framework.

bbgeek17 replied to the thread [SOLVED] Pinning vCPU causes 100% cpu pressure stall, using isolcpus.No, just this VM. isolcpus already keeps everything else off those cores, other VMs included, so nothing to change there. I meant the affinity: line on this VM. Since you're pinning the vcpu threads by hand anyway, think of affinity: as where...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread PBS vs Veeam B&R Proxmox Plugin - QEMU live snapshot implementation & shared LVM storage.Hi @alma21 Only Veeam can give you this level of technical details. From our testing of their initial plugin release - they bypass the PVE completely and interact with QEMU directly. the filter is used with and without fleecing. Fleecing...

Hi Everyone, After reading through BBGeek's tutorial earlier today about LVM-Thin, I was inspired to share an educational article I recently published on my blog. The article explores Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server, a remarkable operating system...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread WARNING: drivers/iommu/dma-iommu.c:1953 at dma_iova_link.Hi @RobertKih Good news... It is not the disk. Those EIOs come from the kernel's DMA mapping code, before the write ever reaches the drive. That's why your smart-log is clean. This looks like a block layer bug in 7.0.14. Split bios lose their...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Recent PVE Kernel 7.0.14-17-pve NVME drives is not availabe.@fabian, in case this turns out to be related to the PCIe link retraining regression from 7.0.14-7 (https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/7-0-14-7-kernel-breaks-pci-link-training.185549/), plain lspci -v won't show the link registers. lspci -vv as...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Proxmox VE 9.2 – sporadic iSCSI NOP timeouts / DID_TRANSPORT_DISRUPTED with Dell PowerVault ME5 and Intel E810.Hi @huganega, Good news, this lines up with what we thought was going on. Let me pin one thing down, though. With net.ipv4.tcp_shrink_window=1 set, are the timeouts and transport disconnects actually gone, or just less frequent? I want to know...

bbgeek17 posted the thread [TUTORIAL] Why LVM-Thin Cannot Be Shared Storage in Proxmox in Proxmox VE: Installation and configuration.Hi Everyone, Every few months someone asks some version of "why can't I use LVM-thin on my shared SAN LUN?" Thick LVM works fine as shared storage, but has no native snapshots. LVM-thin has snapshots but is local-only... it's natural to wonder...

bbgeek17 replied to the thread Kubernetes CSI with shared FC luns (LVM storage, snapshot as a chain).The design is what worries me. Disks owned by a dummy VMID and moved between VMs by editing configs through the API. Clever, but it does not hold up when things fail. Snapshots: that endpoint is a copy, not a snapshot. It won't give you a chain...
