    Would be very nice if you could post this in the devel list [1] or at the very least post a feature request in bugzilla [2] to get this compiled by default, as it is a nice feature and this kind of modifications will be overwritten on updates and...

    VictorSTS replied to the thread GeForce RTX™ 5090 as vGPU.
    L40S seems to be supported by current driver version 18, so it should work. You can use it without licenses, i.e. to try if it works for you, but performance will be limited by the driver unless a Nvidia license is activated [1] [1]...

    VictorSTS replied to the thread GeForce RTX™ 5090 as vGPU.
    AFAIK, you need a different, non-gaming, card to use Nvidia vGPU feature: https://docs.nvidia.com/vgpu/gpus-supported-by-vgpu.html

    VictorSTS replied to the thread Can I stop pvestatd service ?.
    XY problem... IMHO you should ask / investigate why it you are suffering from that load from pvestatd instead of asking how to disable it, which can't be done while keeping PVE working as expected. First time I've heard about this issue, so...

    Proxmox VE is the newest addition to the NVIDIA vGPU supported hypervisors, beginning with NVIDIA vGPU Software v18.0, released today. NVIDIA vGPU software enables multiple virtual machines to share a single supported physical GPU, learn more at...

    VictorSTS reacted to MaPf's post in the thread [SOLVED] Restrict qemu-agent with Like Like.
    Just in case anyone wants to rebuild that for Windows Domain Machines: Create a WMI filter "ProxmoxVM" with Query SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE Manufacturer LIKE '%QEMU%' to target VMs only. Create a new GPO "QEMUGuestAgentSettings"...

    VictorSTS replied to the thread Optimal Ceph Configuration.
    Ceph cluster network is used for replication traffic only. All traffic from clients, MON, MDS, OSD flows through the public network. I would bond both 2.5 nics in an LACP LAG to two stacked/MLAG switches and set both public and cluster networks...

    Why would anyone want to stop an essential PVE service?
  • VictorSTS
    What exactly happend on the network and pve hosts when the VM did not move to another host in the cluster? Remember that PVE HA will only try to restart VMs configured for HA if the host loses quorum, and for that all corosync links have to...

    VictorSTS replied to the thread Nested ESXi 8.0U2 on PVE 8.2-1.
    It's fine! I somehow understood that you where to install vCenter in the same host of PVE, not in a VM. Sorry, seems I had a shortcircuit in my brain.

    VictorSTS replied to the thread Nested ESXi 8.0U2 on PVE 8.2-1.
    Had no idea about that. I used good old BIOS for the PVE VM I used to install ESXi. I strongly advise against installing anything in the PVE host itself. Use another VM to get vCenter running.

    VictorSTS replied to the thread Multipath Ceph storage network.
    That depends on your corosync configuration and which interfaces are used for corosync and Ceph. Corosync networks are completely different thing than Ceph networks. In fact, you may even have quorum in PVE and not in Ceph and vice versa. Also...

    Only the PCI device. Remember that any passed through device can't be used in the host once the VM has started, don't pass through the one that you used for your vmbr0 or vmbr1!

    VictorSTS replied to the thread Multipath Ceph storage network.
    Use MLAG with both F5 switches and configure LACP 802.3ad LAG both in PVE and in the switches and you will get both links in an active/active setup with failover/failback times tipically under 400ms. Remember to add the LAG to the Ceph vlan. You...

    This is surprising, given the added instructions of v3 and v4 over v2 or v2-AES. Here [1] is the definition of each x86-64 CPU type. Maybe you could try using a custom CPU and manually add each flag and bench your workload to try to find out...

    I think I fixed this. The issue is: on certain motherboards with EMA support, the Intel chipset is using the same physical port as the OS. By default Proxmox uses the bult-in NIC mac address. This means 2 IP addresses (1x EMA and 1x Proxmox) on...

    IMHO something is off with that measurement: it's simply impossible that mechanical disks provide a 8 minute GC for a 2TB datastore, no matter the filesystem. Maybe it's using some cache? I do have some 2-4TB datastores using either single drives...

    VictorSTS reacted to bagels1b's post in the thread How to upgrade Ceph 18.2.2 to 18.2.4 with Like Like.
    Thanks @VictorSTS. I have a test cluster but it inadvertently got ahead of my production cluster and is already at 18.2.4. Downgrading doesn't seem to be an option. 18.2.2 to 18.2.4 seems like a straight forward upgrade so I was going to do...

    VictorSTS replied to the thread Nested ESXi 8.0U2 on PVE 8.2-1.
    Does the network of the VMs running inside ESXi work correctly for you?
  • VictorSTS
    VictorSTS replied to the thread Nested ESXi 8.0U2 on PVE 8.2-1.
    Yes, you need to disable CSO offloading inside ESXi. Don't really know why just yet, found it after 2 days of trial and error and browsing online docs. The idea came from here [1] and the fact that tcpdump shows lots of crc errors typically...
