Hey NoriCopperBrand,
Sounds like a storage slow down to me. Something is unhappy about the rescan as you point out. When PVE shows a question mark on a storage device it means it has lost contact with it- or more specifically pvestatd is unable...
Most likely something network related or storage related. If it's shared storage, then you're just migrating RAM while a VM is running. If it's an LXC or the VM is off, hardly anything is actually moved so something to do with the locking on the...
Thanks, this was very useful.
I have now captured another NOP timeout with both the rolling PCAP and an extended 1-second host-side logger, and some of your questions can now be answered more precisely.
The advertised Linux TCP receive window...
Hey H@rald,
Community members have shared scripts in the past, so unless a policy change has occurred, I'm sure you'd be welcome to link to a GitHub repository or something similar. I suspect that as China is moving away from the likes of...
Hi Everyone,
I think I may have come across a bug? When configuring MTU on PVE, whether the GUI or CLI is synonymous, I checked both and MTU was setup to 1450, it doesn't actually apply to an LXC in the latest PVE- actually I am moments from...
Hmm well there goes my PAUSE frames storm hypothesis. There was no corresponding jump in link_xoff_rx.nic, no CRC errors, no drops, no E810 reset and no physical link loss. So I was wrong... But that narrowing TCP window is TCP-layer...
Had a similar experience when trying to download updates for our cluster in China.
I ended up singeling out the IP address for the Proxmox CDN in Singapore and added that IP address to the /etc/hosts file. (each host)
I basically pinned the...
Hi Everyone, Hey PVE Staff,
Is it just me, or are the web servers for download.proxmox.com unbelievably slow? I'm updating a PBS instance after several months and realizing it will take hours.... This is naturally, inconveniently interfering...
Hi Huganega,
Ok, a few things from your output might be worth examining, but I have to ask a question I normally ignore because I'm vendor agnostic 99% of the time. Are you using a Dell recommended DAC? 25GbE has caused me trouble in the past...
By “external,” I meant not managed by PVE. You can still run dnsmasq yourself, and it should work fine. Expanding dhcp support beyond simple zones is on the roadmap and we're working on it.
Hey Everyone,
I think there's something pretty overlooked here: Dell's ME5 documentation explicitly says that for iSCSI usage you must have symmetric flow control enabled on the interfaces. If the E810 and ME5 aren't agreeing properly on pause...
Thanks, ggoller!!
One last question:
Does that mean dnsmasq will or won't help me with evpn+vxlan guests? When you say external dhcp are you meaning more like KeaDHCP?
Follow-up question:
If the answer is dnsmasq won't help; Is it in the...
1) Yes, dhcp only works with simple zones; evpn/vxlan guests need static ips or external dhcp, and you must handle the guest mtu yourself.
2) Yes, PVE allocates and reserves the ip when the nic is added, not when the guest requests a dhcp lease...
Me again,
As noted in another post on the Networking and Firewall forum, I am in the process of setting up EVPN and VXLAN. Recently, while preparing my documentation and the hypervisor nodes, I noticed that IPAM and DHCP may still have some...
$(pwd) resolves to the current directory/path you're in. pwd tells you where that is.
I felt like that is the easiest way to give you something that definitely works. No need to make this complicated by involving weird paths.
Welcome to the forum, SpiceGuy,
I think the part that's causing you some confusion here is that an LXC container has its own filesystem namespace. So /tmp inside the container is not the same /tmp you see when you SSH into the Proxmox host...
Hi PvPaulo,
Leesteken is right about the hypervisor being too far out of date. There have been some issues online about this same driver issue back when I was more active, some people claimed that the solution was upgrading to the 6 kernel from...
When you perform a backup with PBS, PVE/QEMU integrates the backup operation into the VM's I/O path. Data that is being modified while the backup is running has to be coordinated with the backup process. Depending on the storage, network, PBS...
