    VE_9.0.1 Fiber Channel only 1 of 3 hosts see the storage as active. Status Unknown

    My recommendations for next steps are unchanged. There is nothing else I can suggest as you continue to avoid providing actual system output. Cheers Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox

    [SOLVED] Grey question marks at containers, VMs, hosts and storage

    Given that "pvesm" talks somewhat directly to storage accessible to the node where you are running it from, chances are that you have an issue with storage access that trips up "pvestatd" and other components. I would remove all storage pools from storage.cfg, except "local" and "local-zfs/lvm"...

    Proxmox 9.1.6 taking a snapshot takes up t 15 minutes

    Hi @HenkS , welcome to the forum. This is an expected behaviour for QCOW snapshots over NFS. VMware does not use QCOW, their proprietary VMDK format employs completely different structure and snapshot architecture. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox -...

    User login failed

    Type out your password in shell so you can confirm it is what you expect it to be. I suppose you don't have sudo for this user? You can always use the system recovery process to reset the root password. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox -...

    [SOLVED] apt update is not working

    May be the admin of your MIMT had inadvertently broken things they didnt mean to proxy and now fixed it, or may be its the other way around. Good luck! PS you can run VPN for outside traffic and either punch holes for SSH, or run SSH over VPN. AI is not always smart and much depends on your...

    VE_9.0.1 Fiber Channel only 1 of 3 hosts see the storage as active. Status Unknown

    Hi @mikewich, welcome to the forum. You sound a bit frustrated, I get it, rebuilding nodes is never fun. To help effectively, we'll need to see the actual system state from each node. A few things worth keeping in mind: FC connectivity and Multipath are standard Linux administration, not...

    Storage for small clusters, any good solutions?

    @alexskysilk You're right to call that out. "Very small environments" was a poor choice of words on my part. The distinction I was trying to make isn't about node count, it's about business value. We have customers running three node clusters with tens of millions of dollars of business value...

    Storage for small clusters, any good solutions?

    Hi @RoxyProxy, Since questions around pricing, company future, and so on came up, we felt it was appropriate to chime in. First, we'd like to thank the Blockbridge customers earlier in the thread for sharing their thoughts. To be honest, Blockbridge isn't a great fit for very small...

    Questions about Proxmox with shared storage, Redundancy and support for SCSI-3 PR

    Good luck. It is a hard problem to solve, especially if there are FC switches involved - the SAN view can become skewed. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox

    Questions about Proxmox with shared storage, Redundancy and support for SCSI-3 PR

    Hi @nvanaert , There's quite a bit to unpack here. First and foremost, Proxmox VE does not monitor storage or network path health. An All Paths Down (APD) condition will not result in a node fence, nor does it interact with the VM HA subsystem in any way. To directly answer your VMware...

    Replication of a VM between two independent Proxmox clusters (LVM storage)

    Hi @katti , currently there is no PVE mechanism that would synchronously or asynchronously replicate your volumes between the site when LVM is involved. You either need to move replication down the stack (into the underlying storage /SAN) or up the stack (special sync application or application...

    Ubuntu 24.04 cloud-init fails on LVM (Fibre Channel) storage in Proxmox 9 when provisioned via Terraform

    Thank you for the update @rodfranck , this will be very useful for the community. When a disk is reused and the underlying storage returns stale data in places where the OS or application expects zeroed blocks, it can lead to unexpected and often confusing behavior. We discuss a closely...

    [SOLVED] Please help with users configuration in Proxmox

    Are you referring to community maintained helper scripts that are not part of official Proxmox channel? You should not run 3rd party scripts that force you to use root if nobody on your team can understand/troubleshoot them. At the very least throw them in Claude and ask it to explain what...

    Feature Suggestion: Custom Attribute

    [SOLVED] apt update is not working

    Hi @mister_x , welcome to the forum. I presume you do not have subscription at the moment, in that case you should leave the PVE enterprise as disabled (as you have now) or remove it completely. You said you do not have VPN. You may want to actually get one, you know why. This IP does not...
