Jjdancer replied to the thread The SSD search continues ....This thread at https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/enterprise-ssd-small-deals.48343 has a list of enterprise SSDs for sale. Another option is getting a server that supports U.2/U.3 flash drives. They can be surprisingly cheaper...

Jjdancer replied to the thread H740p mini and SAS Intel SSD PX05SMB040.I compile this utility to format SAS drives to 512-bytes or do a low-level format https://github.com/ahouston/setblocksize You'll need to install the sg3_utils package. While doing that, might as install sdparm package and enable the write...

Jjdancer replied to the thread H740p mini and SAS Intel SSD PX05SMB040.Don't forgot to flash the HBA330 to the latest firmware from dell.com/support

Jjdancer replied to the thread H740p mini and SAS Intel SSD PX05SMB040.As I mentioned before, so much drama with PERC controllers in HBA-mode. Just swap them out for a Dell HBA330 true IT-mode storage controller. Your future self will thank you. They are cheap to get.

Jjdancer replied to the thread [Help] Dell R740 + Broadcom BCM5720 NDC - Ports Active (Lights On) but Not Detected by Proxmox.I use Dell Intel X550 rNDC in production without issues. Both the 2x1GbE-2x10GbE and 4x10GbE versions. The 10GbE uses the ixgbe driver and the 1GbE uses the igb driver. Use 'dmesg -t' to confirm. Obviously flash the rNDC to the latest firmware...

Jjdancer replied to the thread H330 sas controller failed after upgrading to Kernel 6.17.2-2-pve.It's these one-off situations with the megaraid_sas driver and just installing a Dell HBA330 using the much simpler mpt3sas driver will avoid all this drama. LOL. In addition, the Dell HBA330 is very cheap to get.

Jjdancer replied to the thread Esxi migration to proxmox.While it's true 3-nodes is the minimum for a Ceph cluster, you can only lose 1 node before losing quorum. You'll really want 5-nodes. Ceph is a scale-out solution. More nodes/OSDs = more IOPS. Can lose 2 nodes and still have quorum. While...
-
Jjdancer replied to the thread Storage for production cluster.You need to really confirm that write cache enable is turned on via 'dmesg -t' output on each drive. If the write/read cache is disabled, it really kills the IOPS. While technically 3-nodes is indeed the bare minimum for Ceph, I don't consider...

Jjdancer replied to the thread Proxmox VE 9.1 Installation on Dell Poweredge R630.On 13G Dells PVE hosts running 6.17.2-2 kernel. I have UEFI, Secure Boot, X2APIC, I/OAT DMA enabled. I do NOT have SR-IOV enabled.

Jjdancer replied to the thread Storage for production cluster.Been migrating 13G Dells VMware vSphere clusters over to Proxmox Ceph using SAS drives and 10GbE networking on isolated switches. Ceph is scale out solution, so more nodes = more IOPS. Not hurting for IOPS on 5-, 7-, 9-, 11-node clusters. Just...

Jjdancer replied to the thread Shared Storage across 10GB Fiber for a ProxMox Cluster?.Plenty of past posts on NOT running Promox on SD cards. It will cause instability and crashes.

Jjdancer replied to the thread Opt-in Linux 6.17 Kernel for Proxmox VE 9 available on test & no-subscription.Actually had to pin 6.14.11-4 kernel on PBS instances. 6.17.2-1 was giving intermittent issues on BOSS-S1.

Jjdancer replied to the thread Shared Storage across 10GB Fiber for a ProxMox Cluster?.Disclaimer: I do NOT use ZFS shared storage in production. I use Ceph for shared storage. I do use ZFS on standalone servers. I ZFS RAID-1 to mirror Proxmox on small 76GB SAS drives. With that being said, your best bet is ZFS over iSCSI per...

Jjdancer replied to the thread Opt-in Linux 6.17 Kernel for Proxmox VE 9 available on test & no-subscription.I had to actually pin the 6.17.2-1 kernel on a R530 BOSS-S1 PBS instance. It locks up with the 6.17.2-2 kernel. Something obviously changed with 6.17.2-2.

Jjdancer replied to the thread Fileserver recommendations.I use the Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts (LXC) to provide NFS/CIFS/Samba file sharing https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE No issues sharing ZFS pools. There are other scripts to manage media and other services.

Jjdancer replied to the thread [SOLVED] Dell PowerEdge R630 reboots immediately on kernel 6.17.2-2-pve (PWR2262 / CPU0704 / UEFI0078).Running latest kernel (6.17.2-2) without issues on 13G Dells. Also running fine on 12G, 11G, 10G Dells too. These 13G Dells do have the latest firmware and BIOS. UEFI, Secure Boot, X2APIC, and IOAT DMA are enabled. I do NOT have SR-IOV enabled.

Jjdancer replied to the thread The New Guy to Homelabs based on linux.A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I use to run a media server under Windows but the constant patching kept breaking my instance. Migrated over to Arch Linux and mounted the NTFS drive read only under Linux and copied over the media to...

Jjdancer replied to the thread [SOLVED] Debian 11 not booting with "VirtIO SCSI Single" but works with "VMware PVSCSI".During the next kernel update, dracut will only install the required drivers required for booting up.

Jjdancer replied to the thread 10Gb network adapter.I'm still on Proxmox 8 at home. I do NOT use a transceiver at home. I use a direct-attached cable (DAC) from the NIC to the switch. I believe the issues with the ConnectX-3 not working with Proxmox 9 may have to do with transceiver...
