    I'm missing important details here, like the storage used in these nodes and some VMs configuration. When backing up a VM, a snapshot is created at QEMU level. When the VM wants to write data over a block that has not been backed up yet, that...

    In fact I gave you a lot of knowledge and experience regarding Ceph and describing much more than a one node failure but the general rules so you can estimate N failures and dimension the cluster appropiately. Never said such thing and dunno...

    Make sure you are mirroring both Debian and Proxmox repos, including Ceph one(s) if you plan to use it. Once mirror is done, you have to use the mirror [1] from PVE. I find it easier to install Nginx on the POM host and add the appropiate apt...

    I've used POM to install Ceph Reef + PVE updates on a fully offline cluster. Just add the appropriate repos to POM, run the mirroring process and change the system repos to point to your POM. Sadly the clien't did not want suscription for that...

    Glad you found it. Had a half written post suggesting you to check pvedaemon systemd unit, as any process started by a systemd service inherits the environment of the service itself + any other envars set when starting the process. Here is where...

    VictorSTS reacted to lucius_the's post in the thread Abysmally slow restore from backup with Like Like.
    Oh, found a way that works. In case anyone is interested, on PVE host doing the restore: > systemctl edit pvedaemon Add the lines: [Service] Environment="PBS_RESTORE_FETCH_CONCURRENCY=8" Environment="PBS_RESTORE_MAX_THREADS=2" (or whatever...

    It does not. At least not under every circumstance. There's zero guarantee that you will get that second copy done to any OSD: if the primary OSD fails/breaks/can't reach/whatever and/or the secondary OSD is unable to write the data and before...

    Hibernating the VM isn't best practices, which recommend either migrate the VM to other host of the cluster or full shutting them down and start again (besides having backups, etc which isn't relevant in this case). I can confirm that you can...
  • VictorSTS
    That would be a let down. This should be easily adjusted i.e. at datacenter.cfg so a normal restore from the web UI applies them (i.e. non root user(s) with enough privileges to restore their VMs). I would be ok if you had to use cli to set those...

    VictorSTS reacted to t.lamprecht's post in the thread Proxmox VE 9.0 BETA released! with Like Like.
    We are pleased to announce the first beta release of Proxmox Virtual Environment 9.0! The 9.x family is based on the great Debian 13 "Trixie" and comes with a 6.14.8-1 kernel, QEMU 10.0.2, LXC 6.0.4, OpenZFS 2.3.3. Note: The current release of...

    PVE will let you choose ZFS even if you have raid, but you will be running a fully unsupported configuration and when issues arise no one will be able to/willing to provide support. Check your hardware: many SmartArray allow to either change...

    Besides what you've been already recommended (specially related to the technological debt), I would like to mention that snapshot and thin provisioning for shared iSCSI/FC LVM is in the works and expected to come with PVE9.x
  • VictorSTS
    Don't know what you are referring to. You simply get the hosts to a set of switches, configure L2 connectivity (bonds, vlans, trunks, etc) and configure a bridge in each PVE connected to the appropriate hosts nic(s). VMs will be able to...
  • VictorSTS
    Of course, because even if the cert comes from a verifiable CA, it's CN does not contain the IP. It's the same as if you were accessing your PBS using a different host name. Yes, it will. That's what you setup a caddy for, isn't it? To get it to...

    VictorSTS replied to the thread Selecting network bridges.
    You've end up with a non standard PVE, configured in a "non-pve way of doing things", with issues that wouldn't happen if you followed the manual/best practices (PVE ACL, permissions, too many bridges). Glad it works for you, but remember the way...
  • VictorSTS
    Can't really tell what's going on. There might be that tunnel interfering with some traffic, might be firewall rules, might be some issue related to the certificate... Basic network connectivity looks fine, services are up, seems that they reach...

    VictorSTS replied to the thread Migrate VM from vSphere to PVE.
    It is not: the storage used at the PVE host doesn't matter at the VM OS level. And if it is it would be the first time I see something like that... You probably did something different with that VM besides storing it in local-lvm. If that VM...

    VictorSTS replied to the thread Selecting network bridges.
    Bridges are the "virtual switch" that a VM/CT needs to connect to a network. Simply do not create bridges for any internal network that no VM should have access to, just use the interface/bond/vlan at host level.
