Thank you both very much! I am grateful of your answers. Greatly appreciate it.

Hello, I hope someone could help. I tried to create the OSD for Ceph, it doesn't let me. It doesn't see the disks even the disk are display in the DISKS section. I also see an OSD already created for one of the disks but I never created one. I have 3 nodes. All 3 behaving same. Attached are...

Thank you very much. 1) I am assuming these two nodes are on separate Infiniband switch. Correct? 2) Are these two nodes on its own ProxMox Cluster? Do you install ceph on them? 3) Since these are on separate infiniband switch, how do you get this cluster to communicate with the other Ceph...

Thank you very much! That helps a lot. Could you please details on how to setup promox nodes in the same cluster with zfs and gluster on top and then attach the cluster to proxmox storage?

If I understand correctly, we can't use Infiniband for the VMs (guest)? I have successfully created Ceph and it's communicating fine over the Infiniband NIC (ib0). I have another Infiniband switch which I would like to use for the VMs to push backup out to dedicated back up servers. But as...

Thank you very much for your help. So I still need to assign a public IP for each of the servers in the cluster? I have 5 Proxmox servers.

Hello, Apologize in advance for newbie questions. 1) I am currently using a dedicated firewall in front of the Proxmox clusters (5 servers). The clusters are on internal LAN. I only need one public IP which give me access to internal lan, from there I can manage all the servers on the...

Hi mir, Thanks for your input. At the initial step of installing ProxMox, default option is ext3. It also have option for these: ext4 zfs (RAID0) zfs (RAID1) zfs (RAID10) zfs (RAIDZ-1) zfs (RAIDZ-2) zfs (RAIDZ-3) So far, I have tried both ext4 and zfs (RAID0). No luck. Same problem. It keep...

It seems this is a well known problem. The only thing I can't figure out is out of 6 systems with almost the same configuration... why this one is not working. The only different between this system and the others are RAID controller (Dell Perc5 vs. Perc6i) and using boot as 2TB HD as opposed to...

Hello spirit, Thank you for your input. Sorry to ask but I am a newbie and don't know what those instruction mean. For the final attempt, I created a RAID 0 on 1 x 2TB disk. I ignored the rest of the disks. Went through installation process smooth. But when boot came up with same error "No...

Hello proxtux, Thank you for your reply. I am using this system as a stand-alone back up. I have another set of 6 servers running Proxmox and Ceph (60TB). Those other servers have no problem. But then again, they have only 136GB boot disk. You are correct, I have "one" disk with 9.3TB for...

Hello, I am having problem getting ProxMox v3.4 to boot. Server have 6 x 2TB SATA drives. Configured via hardware controller as one logical volume as RAID 5 (10 Terabytes total): - Went through the CD installation process without any problem (Proxmox see 9.3TB). - When tried to boot, keep...

Deafening silence. I guess trying to get infiniband to work with Proxmox is more complex than it seems. I can't even get it to pass the initial stage of recognizing the network card. This is definitely not plug and play, but rather a plug and pray.

Hello, Can anyone help? Is this normal to see the Mellanox Infiniband Network cards showing up as "Unknown" device?

Hello, I have 3 CEPH nodes. Each one also serve as monitor. One of the nodes boot drive died. Here's what I did: - On that same system, I put in a new boot drive, installed Proxmox, then performed the command to transfer the OSDs to the new node (which is really the same server with new boot...
