Migrated off TrueNAS SCALE to Proxmox because didn't have full CLI functionality. Used the LXC *Arr scripts from here https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox I am using privileged containers because didn't want to configure UID/GUID remapping. Using Homarr as the jumping point to other *Arr LXCs. Boot...

I use POM in production on stand-alone bare-metal servers (which also doubles as a PBS server) and in a Debian 12 VM. It works. Just make sure to change /etc/apt repo files to point to the POM server.

When I migrated 13th-gen Dells to Proxmox Ceph, I swapped out the PERC for a Dell HBA330 (which is a pure IT-mode controller). Then I used ZFS RAID-1 to mirror Proxmox. Rest of drives are OSDs. I don't think the HW RAID PERC can be configured in both HW RAID mode and pass-through mode at the...

I've used the Proxmox ESXi migration tool on production VMs with no issues. You'll need to disable session timeouts on the ESXi host(s). Make sure the VMs are off and NO snapshots. ZFS works fine on SATA drives. ZFS provides snapshots, rollbacks, compression, and error checking of data and...

Should show up in the Proxmox installer as a boot target. Was for me on a BOSS-S1 and showed up as DELLBOSS-VD.

You need to disable maxSessionCount and sessionTimeout on the ESXi host per https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migrate_to_Proxmox_VE#Automatic_ESXi_Import:_Step_by_Step

Yeah, really. By default, SAS HDDs ship with write cache disabled. The reason being that these drives were meant to be used on a HW RAID controller with BBU. The HW RAID will do the caching on behalf of of the drives. So, when I converted the Dells over to Proxmox Ceph and replaced the HW RAID...

See my reply at https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/debian-11-not-booting-with-virtio-scsi-single-but-works-with-vmware-pvscsi.144806/post-652170 It's still valid for Proxmox 8.2.x

For proof-of-concept, 3-nodes will suffice. For production, you really, really want a minimum of 5-nodes. That way, 2-nodes can fail and still have 3-nodes for quorum. I converted a fleet of 13th-gen Dells which used to run VMware vSphere over to Proxmox Ceph. Made sure all the nodes had the...

Since Proxmox is Debian with a custom Ubuntu kernel, pretty much runs on a 64-bit CPU with Intel VT/AMD-V hardware virtualization. Have it running on Intel Sandy Bridge, Haswell, and Broadwell CPU generations with high CPU core counts with no issues.

Supposedly someone over at r/Proxmox got it working at 6.0 and 5.5. Can always manually copy over the .vmdk and .vmdk-flat files over and do a 'qemu-img convert'.

I manage several production 5- and 7- node Proxmox Ceph clusters. Why 5 or 7 nodes? Well, with 3 nodes, you can only tolerate a single node failure and I believe because of lack of quorum, no writing of data will occur. Strongly suggest 5-nodes at minimum that way one can tolerate 2 node...

Yes, that will work. I don't deal with tower servers but with rack-mounted 4-drive servers, I use RAID-10 for both Proxmox and VMS. Not considered best practice but wanted the IOPs. The VMs are backed up to a separate bare-metal Proxmox Backup Server.

May want to configure that S140 for AHCI mode. Proxmox can use SATA/SAS ports just fine.

Seeing that you have non-identical hardware, using the HPE as a SAN should work. May want to use ESOS [Enterprise Storage OS] (esos-project.com) for the SAN software. Then setup the IBMs as as PVE cluster. If the hardware was identical, I would recommend Ceph. You really, really want identical...

It should. Linux supports at least READ access to lots of filesystems.

From vCenter, you edit the VM settings and remove networking. Or use the ESXi host UI and do it from there.

Just migrated half-dozen Linux RHEL clones VMs from ESXi 7.x to Proxmox 8.1.x. The steps are: 1) Remove open-vm-tools from ESXi VM 2) Install qemu-guest-agent on ESXi VM 3) Remove ESXi networking from ESXI Linux VM 4) Remove ESXi Linux VM networking config file 5) Run as root 'dracut -fv -N...

May have to do a full system reset. Go into the Lifecycle controller via F10 and goto Hardware Configuration -> Re-purpose or Retire. This may "unstuck" the rNDC. After this, boot with Arch Linux and see what /var/log/messages and dmesg says. Also check to see what the iDRAC web interface...

Several things you can try: 1. Update firmware and/or BIOS, Dell lists the firmware for X710 at 22.5.7 and BIOS at 2.21.2 2. Turn off SR-IOV and/or PXE everywhere in the BIOS. Confirm NIC is not disabled in BIOS 3. Boot up SystemRescueCD and confirm /var/log/messages and/or 'dmesg' sees the NIC...
