    zfs local storage setup help

    Do I need to do anything in postgres to make sure the data is saved on the new virtual disk? Which disk type do I use ? SCSI, VirtIO, SATA, IDE ? I am looking to use the ZFS storage drive I have on the proxmox machine.

    zfs local storage setup help

    Thanks for that link. It was helpful. But I am missing how I can assign and connect storage to the postgres VM. I have done the following so far: zfs create databank/db -o mountpoint=/db zfs set quota=48G databank/db # create one dataset for every database zfs create databank/db/db01-pg14...

    Help with management vlan

    I have setup my management on vlan5 and eno1 port with the code below. The problem is, other vlans seem to be going through this as well. For instance, I am able to get vlan 20 to get an ip in the 20 subnet even if I use vmbr0. How can I restrict this to only vlan 5 ? iface eno1.5 inet manual...

    Help with dhcp vm setup

    I am looking to install a pair of kea-dhcp servers ( in ha mode ) on proxmox ubuntu virtual machines. I am getting myself confused about how the vms for the dhcp servers are assigned ip addresses during boot - since the dhcp server itself gives out the ip addresses. I suspect this is a noob...

    Storage redundancy for proxmox

    I have a rather rudimentary question but can't figure out. Storage for my proxmox vms and efi disks are stored on my single synology server. The vms themselves are on an ssd drive on the proxmox server. However, every time there is a hiccup with my synology box, all the vms are not bootable or...

    2008 Mac Pro

    @LnxBil, What is the current situation with this? I also have a 2008 MacPro I'd like to use as a proxmox server. I want to wipe all the disks clean and just install proxmox 7 - no macos. UEFI and redundant ZFS is available now, right? So it worth the effort? What do I need to look out for?

    so if I wanted to make the shared folder on the Synology globally available to containers and VMs on the proxmox host , how will I do that , instead of mounting it directly into the individual vm like you showed me above ? I know how to set it up via datacenter -> storage. Where I get lost is...

    How to add zfs data disk to vm

    Not sure what you mean by "storage that is already existing". What if I wanted to make the storage on my synology NAS available to the proxmox host globally ( i.e available to all containers and VMs). Do I need to mount each one directly individually? Isnt that what the storage function is for?

    How to add zfs data disk to vm

    @ph0x - Must thank you for helping with this. Got it to work! I setup an nfs share on the synology ( which was using v4.1), then used your code above with slight modification. How will this work if I used the iSCSI target ? I am able to set the LUN/target on the synology but how is it...

    How to add zfs data disk to vm

    I am sorry but this is still above my head. My basic question is - how do I attach storage to my VM for storing content like movies , files etc? I have a synology NAS where I can setup an ISCSI target or an NFS share ( means I dont need an nfs server, right?). But not sure what to do after...

    How to add zfs data disk to vm

    How to add zfs data disk to vm

    I am sure this has been asked quite a bit, but I dont quite understand it. I have a zfs pool setup on a disk I intended to use as a data storage disk for my containers and vms. ( not for images or backups ). On a container, I am able to use a bind mount. How is this done on a VM? I just...

    Changing proxmox management ip

    what about the rest not working now after the reboot? They all look like the network device screen above but with different vlan tags and mac addresses. Seems the bond or bridge is not working.

    Changing proxmox management ip

    @Ramalama - interesting. I rebooted the proxmox server and it seems none of the others are getting an ip address as well.
