I'm hoping I'm doing my iSCSI implementation justice. I am using enterprise servers, enterprise grade switches, twinax dac's to connect everything via 10Gbe, all on segmented vlans using layer3 switching. I guess the only true way to tell is to test all 3 scenarios and see which performs better...

ahh gotcha, yeah it's just a TrueNAS server that I created some iSCSI luns on, this server along with my 2 Proxmox nodes are all connected to a 10gbe switch The VM's storage were on an NFS share on this same TrueNAS node but I was reading that iSCSI is faster, so I'm going that route and was...

When you create a new VM, you can attach the iSCSI target as the storage and the LUN as the disk image to the VM and during OS installation you can install the OS directly to the LUN. Works fine. When moving a VM from NFS you can't move it to the LUN, you have to attach an LVM ontop of the LUN...

We can close this. Instead of trying to restore the VM and write storage to my NFS, I created a local ZFS large enough for the restore and it went through.

I created a VM and gave it a 500GB drive. The daily backups are only about 12 gigs or so. When I'm trying to restore this VM, this is happening. Any ideas? restore vma archive: zstd -q -d -c /mnt/pve/NFS_TrueNAS/dump/vzdump-qemu-103-2021_06_13-00_09_14.vma.zst | vma extract -v -r...

Oh my god that fixed it, thank you!!!

So when Proxmox is first installed, it created a virtual nic called vmbr0 and was getting DHCP. My server has 4 nics, eno1, eno2, eno3 and eno4, so I bound them all together using LACP and set a static IP. However since vmbr0 was using the gateway I needed, I had to delete vmbr0. LACP is now...

Yes, if I went to Node -> Disk, they all showed up there. However if I went down to ZFS -> Create: ZFS button, it said "No unused disks" I've managed to remove the partition and create a ZFS share as a raidz2. In Node -> ZFS the raidz2 shows up, shows total size, shows free, shows health as...

Got a Dell PowerEdge R610 server. Installed TrueNAS because it's extremely simple to use. The CPU in my R610 doesn't support bhyve VM's so I go to Proxmox. I've spent nearly 5 hours trying to figure out how to get my 5 drives recognized by Proxmox. Found a random YouTuber that says the drives...
