    APT can see the package, but its priority is -1, which prevents it from being selected for installation. Something in your APT configuration is assigning mdadm a negative pin priority. You can try: grep -RniE 'mdadm|Pin-Priority...

    Hi @Numma , welcome to the forum. Your reading of the API documentation is correct. You need to specify the node in the Create request. This means that you either need to cache the node names or utilize 2 API calls during create. Cheers...

    Hey @delko , welcome to the forum. I am not an expert on Ceph, but perhaps the output of these commands may shed some light: ceph df detail shows a QUOTA BYTES column per pool. ceph osd pool get-quota <pool> shows the quota that’s set. ceph df...

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread 2 Node HA with external QDevice.
    Thanks for sharing @CharlesHartmann . The steps are a match to the official guide, and I would always recommend checking there over a forum post that may get stale. Cheers. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox -...

    Full disclosure: I work at Vinchin, which makes backup software for Proxmox VE. The main thing to watch is dirty bitmap handling when multiple tools back up the same VM. Depending on how they manage bitmaps, one tool could interfere with the...

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread Upgrading PVE from API.
    Hi @loste87, The PVE API calls that initiate these type of tasks are asynchronous. They return a task ID, but that only confirms the task was started, not that it completed successfully. You need to monitor the task and verify its final status...

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread How to import a VMWare machine.
    The "importing vm" section covers what one would do if he was importing from a live ESXi host, not how to deal with external VM files, especially those not in VMDK (VMware) format. Here is a rough guide on what you need to do: 1) Create an empty...

    Hey @marcio79, Your concerns are understandable, particularly if you're used to the update cadence of enterprise platforms from a few years ago. However, the security landscape has changed, and virtualization hosts require a different approach...

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread Startup Issues.
    I would recommend putting the virtualization (VM) portion aside for now. You have basic Linux network management issue. The NIC0, if it is the underlying NIC for the vmbr0, does not need an IP address in most basic configuration. However, we do...

    This answer is AI assisted: Everything below writes to the target, so it must be a scratch disk, not the Elastic one. Step 1: Raw-device write and verify. Add a scratch virtual disk to a test VM on the same storage (san-vol-2), with the same...

    Hi @Bruce.kh, welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about your issue. It’s very frustrating to be on the verge of losing data like this. Data recovery is a big industry, and specialists can charge tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of...

    Hi @Gary_F , In many cases the FC mapping is vendor dependent. Given that PVE is using Linux as the underlying OS, you should grab your SAN vendor's Linux configuration guide and follow that. Once you have the basics done, you can use our guide...

    It would be equally interesting, if not more so, to learn the NFS vendor, model, and version. Cheers. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread about WINDOWS templates.
    Hi @mosheb, there are a few guides floating around that will assist you. I've not tried them - just did a cursory search: https://mattglass-it.com/windows-10-template/...

    Great, thank you for the update. Happy I could help, and good work on troubleshooting the issue down to an NFS protocol compatibility. You can mark the thread as SOLVED to keep the forum tidy. Cheers. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME...
