    Intel CAS/Open CAS Linux and Proxmox/ceph

    I agree @elurex . Installing kernel modules to build on dkms/kernel updates is quite easy. Given, it's out of scope for Proxmox and their support contracts, it's just Debian under the hood. So it comes down to rather you want Enterprise Support, or not really. There's now been some testing...

    [SOLVED] ZFS: Importing and Mounting Failed Mirror from another PVE

    Yeah, when I rebooted I got the common issue of "Network Time Synchronization" of systemd that endlessly stops and starts. This reddit post help point me into the direction that basically, well, root / got hosed and is not mounting properly (as per the dual zfs pools above mounted at root /)...

    [SOLVED] ZFS: Importing and Mounting Failed Mirror from another PVE

    I need to obtain a single file from a drive that was previously in an PVE (Proxmox 6.2). It was an ZFS Mirror of the OS drive (partitioned per Proxmox installer). Since both the existing ZFS-backed PVE I am on, and the old mirror'd drive, use the same rpool name, I had to use the ID of the...

    CEPH shared SSD for DB/WAL?

    As far as I have read, correct. However, you are free to install Debian, partition the drives how you like. As long as you can present the partitions as raw block devices to Proxmox, you'll be set. Personally, I dropped RAID1/ZRAID1 from my OS drives. I treat the servers now as cattle...

    CEPH shared SSD for DB/WAL?

    Jumping to share my $0.02 as I've been heavily researching this myself, a newbie as others here are... First, let's state for the record what exact SSD hardware you need for any and all journal (FileStore), block.db, block.wal, etc device, including just a straight SSD added as an OSD for...

    proxmox 7.0 sdn beta test

    I was hoping for this! As I currently have planned most of their network via Netbox already, including IP assignments to nics. Yeah, that was the current plan. Bandwidth/PPS-wise though, it would be nice to do NIDS/IPS via 10G links to monitor internet networks. Thank you!

    proxmox 7.0 sdn beta test

    I apologize for the newbie questions, as I am trying to wrap my head around Proxmox's SDN vs the rack I am setting up for a school. I would like to list out the basic hardware, and the planned isolation and L3 switches. There will be 5x hosts running Proxmox, all fairly equal hardware. Ceph...

    issues with apt-get update

    Ah that's right, I remember we have to disable that on new installs in order to get updates... Been a while since I installed Proxmox as I usually used Ansible. This past weekend I just used the old USB stick install manually. Would love to purchase licenses to support you guys! But it's just...

    issues with apt-get update

    Is the expected upgrade time less than 60 days? 6.4 was released in April 2021. 6.3-2 is now broken. So that would give us... 60 days to update to latest version, or otherwise it may break our system? Fresh install of 6.3-2 yesterday. Zero config changes. Just installed, and tried mounting...

    Ceph OSD encryption

    Sorry to me a necromancer... But I have some additional questions on exactly this topic. When securing a system, you evaluate the threat models first. So for the school I am setting this up at, physical access while a system is running is not of a concern. What is a concern is theft of the...

    Planning: One Big Server vs Three Small Servers w/HA

    Got a decision to make and looking for public advice. Mostly duck-typing this out. I have been volunteering at an elementary school to fix their network/server and now it's time to build their server(s) out. However, I can't decide between two setups. The driving force is minimal cost...

    HA Bonding for best use of 4 NICs (2x 10G, 2x 1G)

    I have 3 machines I am trying to cluster into an HA group. This is not a mission critical setup, just a homelab - but, it does run a lot of my personal stuff so minimal downtime for repairs is fine. More so to learn and use HA in somewhat of a production environment. I'm on the fence of a few...

    iSCSI storage encryption for a cluster

    Excellent! I'm toying with almost the same setup myself, except experimenting with ssh protocols in initramfs - so I could unlock the volumes remotely over VPN (and trying to avoid IPMI) before the system(s) boot. This whole experiment has made me think about what needs to be encrypted, and...

    pfSense VM qemu-guest-agent

    @eoinkim and all Looks like they just released it to the freebsd repository. https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9877#note-3 It's a port: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/emulators/qemu-guest-agent/ Looks to be pure source, so needs compilation? I can't install develop utils on our...
