I'm having stability issues on my Gen10. The VMs randomly stop responding to say, RDP, then I try to open them in novnc, I'll get an error "failed to run vncproxy" and then the VM stops. Not sure what to look at. My Proxmox installs on older servers have been rock solid.

Ouch.

Are you asking if lsof fixed it? What is this? Quantum mechanics double slit experiment? LOL no nothing has changed. I could just rebuild the node entirely but I kept hearing how stable and production ready Ceph was. I’m not convinced.

Nada. Files not in use.

I originally removed it from the GUI. I'm not sure what service I'd be looking for running but: root@pve3:~# ps aux | grep pve ceph 1454 0.0 0.3 357504 29712 ? Ssl Apr22 0:18 /usr/bin/ceph-mds -f --cluster ceph --id pve3 --setuser ceph --setgroup ceph root 1597 0.0...

What if I don't have an entry for the monitor in /etc/pve/ceph.conf? It's already been removed, but I can't re-create the monitor. I also can't manually delete /var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-pve3

Ok, so I created a VM and installed linux on it just to play around with migration before trying it with a production server. I have a desktop and an actual server. The desktop has an SSD and a slow HDD. The server has a 3-disk RAID 5 array on a P440ar controller. Originally the server was...

Great. I've been Googling for 30 minutes. Where are the instructions? I have the cluster created with the 2 hosts in it, I have no idea how to move a VM to another node.

Anybody? It seems this is easily done during install, but after the fact, changing the device and getting Windows to accept the driver is problematic. I've run across a few others on reddit who've had the same issue and had to completely wipe and make a new VM. That's not an option here.

I know this probably isn't it in your case, but I recently ran into a situation where I had somehow created a logical thin volume disk which was (potentially) larger than the logical volume it existed on. So the Windows guest thought it had plenty of room, but the volume was maxed out. I saw a...

2 different VMs, both Server 2016. I downloaded the virtio-win-0.1.141 iso and mounted via CD drive, added a small scsi virtio drive. Windows recognizes the drive as a qemu scsi disk but it is using a driver from Microsoft from 2006. I tried both scsi virtio and virtio block w/ the different...
