I have pfSense running and as a VM with the usual setup: vmbr0 -> vLAN and vmbr1 -> vWAN . One of the steps of setting up pfSense when using VirtIO interfaces in Proxmox VE i to disable hardware checksums. I also crave more physical NICs, so... It got me thinking. How does passthrough pcie...

Thanks! That makes sense... I missed the top right dropdown "Nodes"

This confused me. Is this the correct way? pve1 is the new node. Had two leftover ssd's and thought a mirror would be the best option(?). I chose zfs (raid1)/"mirror" during installation. When added to my cluster there was no local-lvm on pve1, so I added zfs storage and named it "local-zfs"...

ok, do you mean: 2 nodes with 2 votes each? And sometimes have the third temporary node with 1 vote? Or, 3 nodes with 2 votes each?

None taken! What happens to VMs in a two node cluster (default votes etc) if one of the two goes down? Assuming no HA is used for any VMs. (I know this is fringe cases, but I have a lab to break things :))

I have three servers. I want to be able to shut down the servers whenever without every VM dropping and having to set pvecm expected 1 to log in. Is it ok to give the the servers 2 votes each, expected votes 2, or are there any gotchas? I was thinking something like this: pve1 - votes = 2...

Yes, correct. Is there any (security) benefit to adding host based access control(/etc/default/pveproxy)? e.g.: ALLOW_FROM="10.0.0.0/24" DENY_FROM="all" POLICY="allow"

Thanks again! So, in your example, eno1 will never get an IP (even if my ISP provides one) since it is set to manual? However, if it was iface eno1 inet dhcp it would, right? The pfsense VM has a two vNICs connected to each of the vmbr's (vWAN -> vmbr0 and vLAN -> vmbr1). vLAN naturally has...

When using proxmox to run pfSense, i.e. as the edge router/firewall: How does proxmox know "not to listen" on the port connected to WAN? As I have learned, per default Proxmox listens on all interfaces (https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pveproxy.8.html) I have run pfSense bare metal for years...

Thanks! I am further toward understanding. I think. So, as long as I use the "LAN" NIC while setting up proxmox, then that gets and IP, and is the only one which it listens? What happens if I physically move the network cable to other NIC, wont it just use that and listen? This is where I...

This is what want to do, or what I am 'investigating' and hope to do... If that makes sense. I run bare metal now. But am considering to run as a VM, since I happen to have new HW available. I understand the concern regarding "increased security footprint". However; I may be fine with that...

Maybe these are simple questions. But I have not been able to find the answers. I am thinking of replacing my bare-metal pfSense with a virtual one. Seems easy enough: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/virtualize-proxmox-ve.html . This way I can run a few lightweight apps on the...

ok, so... I don't know if this is even close to the correct way of solving this but: root@truenas[/mnt/wdmirror/proxmoxNFS/dump]# cd /mnt/wdmirror/proxmoxNFS/images root@truenas[/mnt/wdmirror/proxmoxNFS/images]# ls -l total 1 drwxr----- 2 root root 3 Jan 8 11:11 100...

Hi, had to reboot everything due to electric inspection and used the opportunity for an quick update from Truenas Scale 'RC2' to 'release'. Now the proxmox/nfs/permission problem: I use NFS for VM disks and backups, and after the reboot I cannot see any vmdisks (.qcow2). However, the backups...

Thanks. I am investigating. What exactly am I looking for in the ip -details a output?
