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 to patching. I'd distinguish between two broad use...

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 not know what your infrastructure looks like. Is...

Hi @donB , Can you provide more factual details: ip a / from the server ip a / from the VM qm config [vmid] / from the server What you expect the networking to be: server IP, subnet, gateway vm IP, subnet, gateway outside test machine IP, subnet, gateway Blockbridge : Ultra low latency...

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 options as the Elastic disks (discard=on...

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 dollars, which companies are willing to pay to get...

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 here for general guidance...

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

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/ https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/sysprep--system-preparation--overview?view=windows-11...

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 shared storage for Proxmox -...

Assuming for the moment that the SaVC option is indeed not applicable to your setup, I would suggest taking a methodical approach to troubleshooting. Create a test VM with a test disk and populate it with test data. Then reproduce the issue while collecting relevant logs, including dmesg and...

Can you actually check and uncheck it, or is it checked because someone manually edited the configuration file? In my cluster the option is unchecked in GUI and cannot be checked. Note that even if it is "checked" manually, it may be a red herring and is not doing anything as it is not...

Hi @smoKeyY , welcome to the forum. The Snapshot-as-volume-chain is NOT for NFS storage, but for block storage (iSCSI, FC, etc) with LVM layer on it. I don't think the system allows you to enable SaVC on an NFS storage pool, if it did - thats is a bug/misconfiguration. With that said, it would...

This is not unexpected. The next steps would be to try the suggested testing and/or reach out to Proxmox support. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox

Hi @dme31 , welcome to the forum. Your situation might be related to this thread: PVE 9.2.x, and shared thick LVM on multipath, with guests reading back data different from what was written and nothing in the host or SAN logs. The summary of that thread is that the SAN lies about writes...

Hi @scontin, Thanks for the mention! You're right, hardware cost is a real problem right now, and flash isn't getting cheaper anytime soon. I know you asked about options beyond Blockbridge, but this seemed worth mentioning. What we're seeing is that for many shops, reusing the SAN they...
