Warranty of the entire server is up to 3 years, depends how much we are willing to pay. In the techspecs there is a line "Drive writes per day" for 5 years with 1 dwpd. Should be an indication that it should last longer than the normal warranty of the rest of the server, shouldn't it?

The SATA-DOM Specs are in the attached screenshot. Do not know the brand of the DOMs. We buy from a known german company, do not know if I can post the name here. But they have the option to buy 'Proxmox' compatible hardware, which they have tested and approved.

Hello, installing Proxmox on SATA-DOMs is a valid option? I saw older threads where it was not recommended. I thought to use two SATA-DOMs in mirrored configuration, which are 64 GB in size and rated at 1 DWPD, shouldn't they be reliable enough only for the OS? Regards, Thomas

Ah, no we are not backing up with Proxmox. We do a backup internal on the VM at this time. Sorry for the confusion.

Installed the latest updates for PVE as I have seen that qemu was updated, hoped that it helped. Added a little script which wrote the 'rss' column of the 'ps -eo rss,command' output to a file, every second. I made a primitive graph attached to this post where we see clearly that around 4 or 5...

Could it be some remains from XenServer where the VMs where imported from? But other VMs which are working normally where also imported from XenServer.....

Sorry, wrote to fast about local storage, it is not possible, not enough space on local disks for the VMs, are all to big. The VM from the screenshot has 4 GB RAM configured. Now it raised to 7,3 GB used RAM, still raising slowly. The VM i migrated to another host, hast risen to 8,6 GB used RAM...

The VM we had to restart on last friday now has again 6,4 GB of RAM in use, see attached screenshot. Are all those threads normal that show up in the screenshot (made with htop)?

Live migrated two VMs with very high memory consumption to another host, now (obviously) RAM usage is in balance with the configured RAM. Will keep an eye on them. How much overhead of memory is normal?

All our VMs are on NFS. And all are in production, so fiddling a lot around is problem. I could clone it to local storage and start it without network, is this sufficient for a test?

Yes, memory consumption I wrote was at the moment of writing. Here the config of the VM: root@pve7:~# cat /etc/pve/qemu-server/147.conf agent: 1 boot: cdn bootdisk: scsi0 cores: 2 cpu: Broadwell ide2: none,media=cdrom memory: 8192 name: VS04 net0: virtio=FE:B8:3F:6C:90:35,bridge=vmbr0 net1...

Found another VM on this host which kvm process is using way to much memory. It has configured 8 GB of RAM, but as of 'htop' it is using 32GB...

Hi, no ZFS, VMs are on an NFS storage. VM has configured only 4 GB RAM.

Hello, Friday evening one of four hosts in our PVE cluster got out of memory. It killed the qemu process of one of our VMs, fortunately no apparent damage, restared without problem (apart the obligatory disk check). The killed VM is a CentOS 6 fully patched, 64bit. At the moment the host is...

Ok, thanks a lot.
