    Be careful: that would allow a user to download any file from the VM, including sensitive information that normally is protected by the OS and it's permissions, not to mention the ability to see the retention policy of backups which can be used...

    Nothing personal at all and wasn't meant to be rude with the OP in any way. Sorry if it looks like that. Thanks for pointing it out. I've been there too: tasked with a job that could not do because I lacked knowledge/experience/practice. What OP...

    VictorSTS replied to the thread High CPU.
    I would: Try ticking NUMA in the VM CPU settings. Install updated microcode [1]. I don't see any mention about your PVE version, running kernel, etc, so another option could be to use an updated kernel or even a previous one (maybe after the...

    You could read the documentation so you can give your CEO an informed opinion about what should be done and how to properly deploy Proxmox software. Again, if in doubt, refer your CEO to a partner or ask for official training [1]. A very...

    I guess this is a task that should be done by senior because Im junior devops

    VictorSTS replied to the thread High CPU.
    The snapshot you posted seems to indicated that balloon was off and/or the balloon service wasn't running correctly. That may not be related to the issue, just got my attention the high mem usage shown. Change CPU type to host and try again...

    No, a PVE node can't be on different providers. As stated in the link I sent you before [1], nodes must be at max 10ms from each other, IME being under 5ms is recommended. Maybe you could use professional support on this and/or training, please...

    VictorSTS replied to the thread High CPU.
    Do you have qemu-guest-tools enabled in the VM config, installed and running in the guest OS? Do you have the balloon driver installed and running in the guest OS? The former is needed for QEMU to give accurate memory usage information to PVE...

    Supermicro Twin? Ceph wise I would create a custom crush map to define a "chasis" level and ensure that a single chasis will not hold two copies. Replace "migh" with "will" for around one third of your PGs. It's a fact, not a chance ;). The...

    Are you planning on shutting down 3 of your servers often or are you simply planning for a "just in case 3 servers break"? On the first case, use a qdevice somewhere (PBS is fine, although I also install PVE in my PBS servers and prefer to use...

    When you backup a VM, it's config is locked so no change can be made until backup is done. When a backup task doesn't end properly (user stops it, destination full and the likes), PVE does not clean the status properly (yet) and the VM stays in...

    VictorSTS replied to the thread No HA?.
    You don't mention it, but you have to add to HA every VM you want to be in high availability. If you did, and you did issue a "reboot" of the PVE host, remember that there is a setting in Datacenter -> Options called "HA settings" where you can...

    IMHO it's better to use PBS sync to copy backups from one PBS to another instead of doing backup of the VM multiple times, even if PVE could use multiple dirty-maps for a few PBS. Less load on source PVE, less load on VMs and you offload the...

    VictorSTS reacted to stevehughes's post in the thread Multiple Backup Locations with Like Like.
    I've created a Bugzilla entry for this. Linking it here in case anyone is interested.

    VictorSTS replied to the thread pve-cluster service wont start.
    Would be nice if you provided that little detail ;) For reference, there is a long thread regarding host name change with different procedures, some for older versions [1] You probably had some configurations in the host too. Some combinations...

    VictorSTS replied to the thread pve-cluster service wont start.
    Have you changed the host's name? What's in your /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts ?
  • VictorSTS
    No, you can't use LVM-Thin with a shared LUN, as LVM-Thin uses metadata for things like snapshots and thin provision. If you configure your shared LUN with LVM-thin you will end up with data corruption sooner than later. If your storage supports...

    VictorSTS reacted to kissze's post in the thread CEPH client only node with Like Like.
    Were moved to the 4 node setup, thank you guys. Also i have tested the "client" only join and yes, its working without any configuration, i only had to join to the PVE cluster and the CEPH storage which is defined in the cluster get available on...

    VictorSTS replied to the thread Sync.
    Thats the functionality needed for all this to work :). Previously, even if you set a datastore offline, PBS service still kept some open files in it and you could not unmount it unless you stopped PBS services, which at the very least is a PITA...

    You can always use something like scp or sftp to copy some files to your PC, then use my step by step recovery method [1]. Once some space is recovered, copy the files back to the same location they were. [1]...
