    proxmox destroys working /etc/network/interfaces bond config

    Yeah, we reverted now to doing that as well. But vmbr names are now nice and descriptive, and bonds are just numbered. It would be nice to eliminate that restriction.

    proxmox destroys working /etc/network/interfaces bond config

    Great! I really hope the limitation will also be lifted for bridges! Thanks for the quick help! :-)

    proxmox destroys working /etc/network/interfaces bond config

    Thanks for checking and confirming back. Ok, that's a pity, we would have liked to use meaningful names, including a VLAN identifier. We will have to use the comment field instead. Does the same limitation apply to vmbr? I notice those DO get recognised as bridges in the pve GUI.

    proxmox destroys working /etc/network/interfaces bond config

    Yeah I added the bonds manually, not through the GUI. then later I edited something network through the GUI, and then all bond definitions were rewritten. (and broken, so after a reboot, the complete system was unreachable)

    proxmox destroys working /etc/network/interfaces bond config

    Hi, To our surprise we see that proxmox rewrites (parts of) the network/interfaces file from this working version: auto MNGT_bond0 iface MNGT_bond0 inet manual bond-miimon 100 bond-mode 802.3ad bond-xmit-hash-policy layer3+4 bond-slaves nic3 bond-lacp-rate fast to this...

    tips for shared storage that 'has it all' :-)

    Thanks for the replies, mir and bbgeek17, appreciated. The intention (specially for this upcoming PoC) is to use what we already have in place, so we're not going to buy anything, and need no support. If we go PRD, specially the support part will of course change. I will checkout regular LVM on...

    tips for shared storage that 'has it all' :-)

    Hi all, As many, we are also contemplating a move from broadcom/vmware to proxmox, and are starting with a PoC now. I ran proxmox in the past with ceph cluster, so I know how great that combination it, but ceph is (now) not going to happen where I work, so: no ceph. At the institute we have a...

    pve generated interfaces.d/sdn uses wrong --to-source IP address

    Hi, We have a 5-node cluster, 1.2.3.192 - 1.2.3.196, using a 10G direct fibre connection between the five (called dev hsl) and the following /etc/network/interfaces on host pve3: root@pve3:/etc/network# cat interfaces # network interface settings; autogenerated # Please do NOT modify this...

    Feedback on Using a Single /24 for All Traffic in a Proxmox meshed Cluster, with Ceph

    Hi Gilou, Thanks for your response. Appreciated. It's "full mesh" for the first three of the five nodes, and the remaining two are not participating in the full mesh ceph replication, have no OSD's, but are in the same /24 ip range, and in the same pve cluster. They would have access to the...

    Feedback on Using a Single /24 for All Traffic in a Proxmox meshed Cluster, with Ceph

    Hi, We’ve reviewed the relevant wiki articles, and we’re looking for feedback on a networking strategy for our Proxmox and Ceph cluster setup. Specifically, we aim to avoid using multiple arbitrary IPs and would prefer to use a single /24 network for all traffic, including Ceph cluster traffic...

    ZFS pool import fails on boot, but appears to be imported after

    We are seeing the same with our PoC PBS installation. PBS installed on a simple supermicro DOM, with 8 storage disks in a zfs raidz2 config. During boot, the import fails: root@pbs:~# systemctl status zfs-import@storage\\x2dbackup.service ● zfs-import@storage\x2dbackup.service - Import ZFS...

    [SOLVED] backups from cron | api

    Ah I found post on changing ownership: You can manually change the owner (it's in the file called 'owner' in the backup group dir) All is well now! :-)

    [SOLVED] backups from cron | api

    Right! So the environment variable is always required. That helps, thanks Hannes. Agreed on the documentation. Specifically some more examples would help for understanding better. :-) Anyway, it works now, except this: "Error: backup owner check failed (root@pam!server != root@pam) I guess...

    [SOLVED] backups from cron | api

    Hi Hannes! I escaped like \!, because I was unsure where to start quoting. This gets me further, new error: root@server:~# proxmox-backup-client backup root.pxar:/ --repository root@pam\!cab1a7-9f-4xxxxxab9-b7-26bf4625@1.2.3.4:backup-repo --include-dev /var Error: error building client for...

    [SOLVED] backups from cron | api

    Hi, Trying to setup a cron job, for doing regular backups to PBS. Trying to use an API token for authentication. I selected my backup-user, created an API token. And now want to use that token with my backup command: root@server:~# proxmox-backup-client backup root.pxar:/ --repository...

    synchronize onsite pbs backups to an offsite pbs installation

    Hi, Is it possible to configure synchronization of a local PBS datastore to a remote PBS install? Perhaps specify which backups to keep offsite, and for how long, etc? We are currently rsyncing VMs to onsite freenas, and then use zfs snapshots/replication to achieve offsite copies of the...
