You are absolutely correct. My description was over-simplified. Hopefully, Datacenter Manager will make dealing with multiple clusters easier and can many many smaller clusters as one large cluster.

> Thanks a lot for that tip! Blockbridge sounds really interesting. You also write that you are actually using Blockbridge. Any notable requirements or things to consider when designing a solution with it? Which integration are you using in Proxmox for that storage? We are using Blockbridge's...

You may want to look at Blockbridge. They are active in this forum. We use their solution and it would be a great fit for your configuration requirements. I can write more later if you have questions (need to run for now).

I think the answer is "no", but I wanted to check whether there was support in the "pveceph pool create" command to specify which erasure code plugin it should use - specifically "clay". Or, would we need to create the pool in ceph manually and add it as specified here...

This happens to me on the latest PVE as of today while connecting to a nested PVE 8.2.7 system (so Debian 12 with KDE installed running Plasma X11). PVE on the host, and the nested VM, is at 8.2.7 with updates from the no-subscription repo on test machines. The spice-vdagent service is running...

Hello Chrizzlibaer, Blockbridge supports thin snapshots, thin clones from arbitrary snapshots, and rollback, which should be enough to implement this feature. However, their plugin restricts snapshot trees. If this is important to your workflow, you can manage it by hand by creating thin...

@sw-omit - Great ideas! I actually hadn't tried using M or K - thinking that it was limited to only GiB, and you are correct - this works fine. I feel kinda dumb for not thinking of this! :) An example to add 512KiB to a disk: qm disk resize <vmid> virtio1 +512K Or - you can specify the...

We have an imported virtual disk from a VMware system that was oddly sized (specifically 2147525591KiB). It appears this causes an error when performing a storage migration (storage migration failed: block job (mirror) error: drive-virtio1: 'mirror' has been cancelled). Or at least, it appears...

Hi, I know this has been discussed a bit in a previous thread, such as: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/dirty-new-bitmaps.81754/page-3 but I wanted to see if there has been any movement in the opinion of allowing administrators to force bitmap persistence on stopped VMs. As Krzysztof...

I was troubleshooting an issue with two VMs that use CARP to perform IP fail-over. I had disabled MAC filtering on these VMs, but the ARP responses for virtual IPs were never sent from the VMs. I saw somewhere that there may be limitations in ebtables or iptables when using a non-virtio vNIC...

I highly recommend contacting them if you have a real need and budget for storage. They are a legitimate company that provides high-quality solutions and support. It is not a boxed product that you just buy off the shelf. Storage is generally complicated. Blockbridge will help with design...

Yes, under their premium warranty. I've given enough money to Lenovo that I don't exactly feel bad - plus they were willing to do it. I didn't have time to deal with testing, honestly, much less waiting, sometimes days, for it to reset.

Just to add another data point to this issue - I have a Thinkpad (P16v Gen1) with a 7940HS, running Proxmox (latest non-subscription version 8.1.4) and was experiencing the same issue - random resets every once a while. I have a single Windows VM running on this machine with other VMs being...

> So you basically run blockbridge on any x86 Server with nvme/ssd drives and connect the server simply over iscsi to Proxmox? Blockbridge performs the install on pre-qualified systems due to the amount of tuning they do to get the absolute best performance. You can imagine the differences...

ejmerkel was faster than me and said most everything I was going to say. :) A couple extra notes: The storage appears just like any other storage device in Proxmox. The configuration is done via the /etc/pve/storage.cfg file, just like any other storage, where you indicate an authentication...
