This can be done gradually, but needs a bit of care. We're currently in the process of finishing a migration helper tool and providing documentation for how to do this.
@yangsm AFAIK, Ceph 20.2.4 / 19.2.6 packages are only available in Test repository, you should avoid using it unless for testing. Proxmox is working on the process to rotate the keys [1], although we still don't know the details, on paper it...
You right, somehow I understood that there are SSD for OS but not SSD to dedicate to SD, so imagined that OP wanted to devote some space on those SSD for SD.
This is only HDD, zero SSD. (As of #1)
Having a "separate" Special Device on the very same spindles makes no sense.
Actually we know not much at all. What actual drives are available? How many? How many (unused) connectors has the controller...
I would put the RAID controller in JBOD / IT mode to convert it to an HBA, the use ZFS for both the OS and special device. Remember that ZFS isn't supported on RAID controllers/LUNs. When installing PVE/PBS, set the disk size to ~50G, should be...
Yes, but not every single time. Depends essentially on the size of the datastore, how much work PBS has to do (i.e. backup once a day vs once an hour, many replicas, many verify, etc), and how much time you have to run GC, which is the task that...
Yes that's true; I removed some lines because of posting limitations. Also only no-subscription repository is enabled (besides debian repos of course)..
In the apt update output above I'm missing a line referencing Proxmox repositories, although the apt list --upgradable does indeed show upgradable Proxmox packages. Are you sure the Proxmox repositories are correctly configured?
Check this point of view: there's no ZFS without ARC: it's and inherent part of ZFS architecture and ZFS performance is designed around it, so you do relay on it and expect it to behave correctly to get the most of your ZFS. Like why not raise...
Finally got a chance to check on this. The problem seems to be related to a recently reported bug [1] that causes ARC to evict all/most of it's contents erroneously, even when there's plenty of RAM available.
This causes ARC to almost never...
That's good news, but remember that you are using an unsupported storage stack that will sooner or later give you some issue that no one will be willing to investigate / fix. Take your time to rebuild your storage to a proper ZFS setup, which...
We kinda know why the problem happens, more or less...
if the VM tries to access a memory zone that the host has currently swapped a PF will be generated so that the guest kernel can do something else on that vCPU while waiting, this behavior is...
My option is:
Install PVE using ~50G with a mirror of SSD. Leave the rest unused.
Coinstall PBS (add repo, add package) [1].
From PVE, add a RAIDz/RAID10 (capacity vs performance decision, although on that hardware won't be too relevant). Could...
We are excited to announce the first release of Proxmox Virtual Environment with official support for a second CPU architecture: 64-bit ARM (arm64/aarch64). Until now, Proxmox VE was available for x86-64 (amd64) only.
Proxmox VE 9.2 for arm64...
Hi @bbgeek17,
In our context, we are preparing configurations intended to be instantiated by non-specialist departments; we are therefore prioritizing ease of implementation.
1. At the very beginning we followed multiple docs, mainly...
Hi Everyone,
Disaster recovery keeps coming up with folks moving off VMware, usually as some version of "what replaces SRM?" We've answered pieces of this in threads for years, so we finally sat down and wrote the whole thing up properly...
Disabling disk swap is enough. PF are still enabled when using zram as swap and the problem has never happened with that enabled, so the problem is related to disk swap on the host but can't really point my finger to a specific component (kernel...
