The 3 PVE in the cluster have : PVE1 10.3TiB PVE2 10.3TiB PVE3 4.29TiB of storage space each (HD Space in the status page). Additionally, the cluster has access to a 65.49 TB (~59.56TiB) Proxmox Backup server. The PDM reports 69.9TiB of total space on the cluster. Something doesn't add...

Hi All, Got PDM up and running. Working well, but I'd like to know more on the "host storage Used". Here on one of my cluster, it is showing 69Tb (ish) of total storage. However, my 3 nodes have a combined storage of 25Tb only. The PBS attached to this cluster has 65Tb of total space, so it...

Hi All, sorry for necroposting, leaving this as this may help someone else. We are in the process of migrating one of our cluster, and we had a PVE in 8.4.5 that would not migrate VMs to PVE 9.2. We were hitting those errors in the journalctl logs : kvm: Features...

Hi, As this thread is quite old you'll have better luck creating a new one to get help!

Bonjour All, I have been fiddling with PDM, and I want to sync it to our LDAP servers. Now here's a fun one : those things are running an OLD ldap tree imported over generations of VMs, meaning we can't use memberOf. I can get my list of users with ldap-search like this : dn...

Hey there. Thanks for the reply! Agree, I'd like to bypass the PERC altogether and get a similar system to the R740XD I've got running my PBS, and connect the back plain straight up to the motherboard via PCIe risers. Issue is: I don't think this is doable on a 650XS...

Bonjour all, I'll be retiring 3 Dell 650XS from their current jobs soon™, and I would like to put them in a CEPH HA NVMe backed cluster. Currently, those servers are running a SATA/SAS backplane with a PERC H755 running the show. My plan would be to replace that with a NVMe backplane and a...

An update on this : The maximum for both values is apparently 32. I'd need more benchmarks to plot some kind of "time reduction per worker", but setting the values to 12 workers and 4 readers has brought down the verify time from around 10h to ~4h. Bringing the numbers up to the maximum value...

Hi all, Since 4.0 (I think?) you can tweak the number of readers & workers for the verify job. I've set mine to 12 workers and 4 readers, and it cut the verification times by half. Do keep in mind this is a NVMe backed ZFS system, YMMV. Are there good practices to set those values? Do you have...

Hi all, First, I wanted to thank the Proxmox Team for their work on PDM, as this tool will certainly help us to manage our multiple clusters / PBS across datacentres. Now, I'm playing with this in the lab, and was wondering what were the mandatory permissions in order for PDM to work? As I'm...

Bonjour all, I've upgraded a lab node to PVE9 today. Everything went well until it didn't. This lab setup uses a virtual router for its networking. On reboot, the VM failed to boot with this error : WARN: no physical CD-ROM available, ignoring kvm: -blockdev...

Hi all, We've (finally) decom'd an old PBS which also had an NFS share from ancient (PVE 5.X) times. To my surprise, however, my PVE backup scripts started failing (well, after I remembered those existed and switched them to the new PBS). They were stuck on the /mnt/pve/ directory. In here...

Hi all, Following https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/hard-drive-strategy.137806/, We've managed to convince the bean counters to allow us a bit of money to get backup servers. Now, the configuration I got is a bit different from the suggested configs in the previous threads. For now, we've...

Hi All, Happy new year! Best wishes to everyone. I have been trying PDM to see how it could fit our proxmox deployments. So far, I have 3 VMs, two PVE and one PDM. Everything seems to be working fine, but it appears nodes need to be able to talk to each other to migrate VMs. Is there a proxy...

Hi all, We've (finally) got a long-term storage, centralised, last resort PBS where all the other PBS go and dump their backups into. I want to add a Read-only account of which every cluster will have a token of, so that in case of a disaster recovery process, I can restore backups from this...
