That depends on how you are sharing the storage out of FreeNAS. - NFS -SMB If you go the Freenas route as your backup target, you first have to setup the unit (network, users, etc.). Create a pool and a dataset, which will be used as the Proxmox backup target. For instance, I have a dataset...

What would be the reason for doing this vs using the proxmox built in backup, which creates a single file? - You would be able to restore that onto any new proxmox node.....

You need a switch that supports bonding

To clarify making changes within the interface file: - I add another Vlan config or VXlan into the interface file. - I run ifdown ifup on the Bond or two physical Nics ? Doesn't the command take down the entire physical interface before bringing it back up? Does that not disrupt all other...

Would you be able to clarify the statement: "On the shell, you can do network changes without a reboot " Are you saying just make changes in "interfaces" file directly ? How would I activate the changes without rebooting? I have tried previously and have not been successful, but I am...

Thank you for this thread !! I have two domain controllers (primary & secondary) and every time my primary would need to restart or shutdown, I would loose access to CIFS shares. (ISO repo and backup) I am really glad I found this post as changing the "timeout" from 2 to 5 fixed my issue!! I...

It looks like you have to mount the disk as a directory, which will allow you to select other storage types and enable the "upload" option. You can try within "datacenter; Storage" to delete the LVM Than see under "disks; directory" it will let you add the LVM and format it as ext4 or xfs If...

Did you go to "datacenter"; "storage" and select what types of information are allowed on "Storage (promox-ve) ? If it will not let you select anything, than you may want to just mount the disk as a standard directory I use external storage through CIFS or NFS for backups and ISO images, so I...

Hardware raid is configured outside the operating system and presents the raid volume as a single disk to the operating system. Your system sees it as just a single hard drive. Now are you getting this error when you initialize the disk with GPT or during another step ? Or are you trying to...

First: I would encourage you to read the documentation and watch some videos....... Now you have to activate your storage "VM-Storage" and "Storage (for your backups, ISO images, etc...)" Mine looks like this: Select the disk you want: "VM-Storage" and click the initialize Disk with GPT...

Honestly, I am the one sighing now if that is your answer......... I think the real answer: - it depends on the use case, available resources and what you are trying to get out of the setup. Simply telling someone you need ZFS as the first and only option and that it is the best thing/only...

Why is ZFS ideal ??? You can perform snapshots via the GUI if you run LVM and you can backup the VM's as well. One of the nice things about ZFS within proxmox is the ability to replicate the VM to another node (if available). However, ZFS does require a higher memory overhead and in a lot...

If you do not care about any redundancy and are willing to risk loosing all the data if one drive fails, you would setup raid 0 - allow you to use all the space and maximum performance, but at the risk if one drive fails you loose everything.... If you would like to not loose the data due to a...

I have been running a Proxmox cluster with a virtualized PFsense for over a year. My PFsense moves between nodes as I have central storage setup via Freenas through ISCSI Currently PFsense is on proxmox node 3: - I use OVS - vlan 1 = LAN network (through vmbr0) - vmbr1 = DMZ - vmbr5 = WAN...

I use LibreNMS, which has support specifically for Proxmox. Will show all of individual VM traffic just by adding a node and setting the proxmox flag. - LibreNMS using SNMP and Check_MK
