I want to do the back up with PBS. The data is on an SMB network share on a different device than the PBS and the PBS device does not have enough local space to store all the data that need to be backed up. It is only connected to the Tape library. I want a way to bring the data from the SMB...

Wait you are suggesting to mount the tape and then use as a datastore. I was thinking of the opposite. Mount the smb share on the backup server and set it as a datastore path and then back the datastore to the tape. Is that possible?

Any possible recovery would be to recover the whole set anyway and not part of it in our case, so i would not be too worried about the recovery time. That being said would that we a problem of the LTFS due to being linear that would not have an issue with restoring on different file systems?

Hello. We have a new tape ML3 library and we want data that are network shared through SMB to be backed up on tape. The typical back up management suites with the library are a disaster. So i was exploring using PBS with it. It is my understanding that a tape backup in PSB cannot only be...

I still cannot mark my thread as solved. I do not see any option to edit threads i have already made. Is there still an issue with the permissions?

ok i finally found the issue. Turns that it was the actual NIC. For what ever reason the specific NIC would only work bridged and not using pass through. When i switched to the other pci NIC the passthrough worked. No module blacklist needed either. So i will just passthrough the working NIC on...

Its looks the same but it would fail when i tried it in other machines...but as i said i will try it again ans see on this one.

I could try but on other similar machines when i did that, the passthrough would fail as it would try to passthrough the same NIC twice. Only passing once with all functionality worked in passing both interfaces. I am really not sure what is up here. any ideas @dcsapak maybe?

That is what i want. To pass both interfaces and team them up in the VM.

Same result with the driver blacklisted: dmesg output: https://pastebin.com/6ve8bdLH blacklist contents: The vfio-cpi driver seems to be loaded

I do but the performance is really subpar even with Vrtio. On other machines this was only solved with a passthrough. The good thing is that the only other bridge to be used if the passthrough works is a 1g one that uses a different module thus not really an issue to blacklist the driver.

SRIOV is already enabled globally. I will try to blacklist the module. @dcsapak The module to blacklist would be bnxt_en correct?

I did do an upgrade and the error message now is more specific. Dmesg output: https://pastebin.com/6zNvSKrV Configuration of the passthrough: Sorry for the mix up before. There are more than one NICs on the machine. The VM configuration is the same as in the previous post but without...

VM config: I am adding the passthrough from the web interface like so: The full dmesg:https://pastebin.com/s0q9YUe5
