Hi Just a followup on this thread, I was kicking away at this server recently, a few weeks ago tried to boot newer kernel after doing updates to proxmox 8.x.latest > so it is now proxmox 8.4.11 version and the latest kernel it has available is kernel 6-8-12-13 I believe so > it seemed to boot ok...

Hi Everyone, I am just posting a followup on this thread from earlier in the year. Wanted to 'close the loop' on this topic I had work-around in place previously - just pinned older good-working kernel - was ok I did more updates this week, and had some available maintenance window over the...

Hi, this is a bit open ended but I wanted to put a post in the forum in case anyone else bumps into this. I had my second proxmox server this week give me a similar bit of unhappy drama, which is very unusual. My solution in both cases ended up being "nuke the VM, restore from last good backup...

yes, and note that HA is different - superset - from "pair of nodes in cluster" or even "three node in cluster". original question was asking about live migration. :-) anyhow. I agree, if doing a 2-node cluster you really do want to have a 3-node or a 3-node plus quorum-breaker-service on...

I just wanted to chime in, I agree that 2 node cluster live-migration is possible, but having 3 nodes or a 3rd 'witness / QDevice' is nice if possible. But not mandatory. Tim

Ok, thanks for added detail. This is 'weird' because - this setup is very (very) vanilla - stock proxmox ISO installer was used originally for deployment. It has been through a few in-place upgrades over a ~few years but nothing problematic with that normally. Hardware is ~plain (lenovo, stock...

HI, thanks for suggestion. I had not tried the InstallerISO>Rescue option. In theory I can try that as an Edu piece. Might be good to see what it tells me. I am not super keen to do a reinstall 'just to see how it goes'. But it is indeed an option to try I suppose. I do have this proxmox...

Footnote on the thread, I did a bit more dig in forum, and found this discussion which sounds very much maybe like the right thing possibly I need to chase. https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-8-3-1-cant-detect-disks-with-lsi-megaraid.159858/ So I'll give that a go sometime - looks like...

Hi, small fun question I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on. I've got a ~decent box at a client office - it is not latest hardware - was deployed as a 'refurb' lenovo tower server box, dual socket xeon, 96gb ram, megaraid hardware raid It was originally deployed as Proxmox v6 when that was...

Hi, thank you for this added info. I agree, it is not fast. (ie, ~>24 hours to do a full restore). I believe it is acceptable for the recovery time for this client. Drama for backup - I don't have enough free space local cache to do tempdir - suspend mode. So I am kind of stuck here with my...

arrgh, sorry chris. I am re-reading thread now and I see I had missed your one point. a few posts back. You are suggesting the job on Jan.26 ran successfully and fast, without metadata mode. And it took ~2 hours approx. And then I am trying to do metadata backup jobs since then. I was under the...

Hi Chris, thank you. So just to check and to clarify. 1) Right now my deployment model, is to setup a new PBS host any time I setup new related proxmox/cluster requirement. This gives me clean separation of resources (ie, disk, bandwidth, CPU-RAM) between any given Proxmox cluster and PBS that...

Apologies to those reading this / for my use of sloppy syntax in this thread, ie, I'm calling things here in this thread a "VM" when that means precisely a KVM VM and that is definitely not remotely what I am trying to talk about here. I am speaking only of "Container LXC based guests" and I was...

Hi Chris, I am still confused, for clarity. In this situation I have one proxmox cluster, one backup config panel for this cluster and three jobs exist therein. I have 7 proxmox node inside this cluster they all talk to the one PBS host there is no 'standalone proxmox host' which is outside...

Hi, here is view in PBS for VM101, not sure if this gives insight about anything. The jan-26-2025 is my last good backup, which is this snip view below. As I generated this snip, I also wonder - is there maybe a timeout on client site <> PBS Client <> talking to PBS server <> which allows it...
