    cpu pinning for VMs (PCIe passthrough)

    Hi all, I have a VM that runs a passthroughed ethernet x710 adapter with dpdk (danos). Since dpdk does polling, the CPU is occupied 100% all the time. So, i would like to pin specific cores to this VM (in proxmox), in order to disallow the host task scheduler to change the association of the...

    How to disable fencing (temporarily)

    Hi all, When I do upgrades to proxmox or other actions that jeopardise the clusters health (network stuff), I feel the need to disable the cluster/watchdog/fencing components of promox, in order to do the actions without the danger of a node rebooting because it was fenced. So, what is the...

    how to protect my cluster from a removed node

    Hi all, I did a "pvecm delnode hp4" and removed a node from the cluster. Everything looks fine. The only problem i got, is that i don't contol the removed node.... So if someone boots the node, it will come back online and as the documents state: "it is critical to power off the node before...

    NUMA questions

    Hi all, There is an option to select NUMA when you configure a VM's CPU. While I know the basic NUMA concepts, I don't really understand what this checkbox does. So, I have a few questions about it and an application that might benefit from enabling NUMA. Starting from the App, I have a VM that...
