    best practices network for the PVE Cluster

    Hi @tka222 , Given that your storage is FC based, the migration (presuming you mean live migration of VM between PVE hosts) does not carry a lot of data. Your best option is to create an LACP bond that provides a) redundancy for all traffic, most importantly cluster b) allows for some bandwidth...

    Request: SAS HBA LUN Sharing Between Proxmox Cluster Hosts (Like VMware)

    Hi @RodolfoRibeiro , welcome to the forum! This topic is a common discussion point here on the forum. It is generally raised at least once a week, sometimes more. To address your questions: - Yes, many people run with this type of infrastructure in production - Yes, you can and should use...

    New VM already installed OS

    In the PVE API here: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/#/nodes/{node}/disks/lvmthin and here: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/#/nodes/{node}/disks/wipedisk You can make a call to "Also wipe disks so they can be repurposed afterwards." I'd have to look to see how it is...

    New VM already installed OS

    Removing an LVM slice (if VRTX-SSD is LVM based storage) is not enough to erase the data on the underlying disk. This has been discussed in the forum a few times, although I cant give you a link at this moment. You can check by running "lsblk" and 'blkid' on the hypervisor against the LVM slice...

    Cloud-Init config not applying to VM

    The file/location is not checked at the time of setting the option. It is possible that the config does not exist at the time of VM creation. One could dynamically generate the config on VM start. You will be notified at the time of VM start or migration if the CI config is missing...

    [SOLVED] Why six paths to iSCSI?

    You are the only person with full view and access to the system. You shared summary of what you think the system is and only partial snippets with us. There are a few possible theories, you can eliminate most of them by rebooting your host and observing what the system was able to re-establish...

    [SOLVED] Why six paths to iSCSI?

    Hi @unsichtbarre , The only explanation , based on the technical details you posted, is that you do indeed have a route between the two networks. You should be able to figure it out with "ping" command, traceroute, and by checking ARP tables. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared...

    [TUTORIAL] How to Configure Fibre Channel SAN Storage with Multipath and High Availability on Proxmox VE 9

    LVM is a PVE integrated way to use FC as shared storage. You can read this article to get high level understanding of the components involved: https://kb.blockbridge.com/technote/proxmox-lvm-shared-storage/ Although it references iSCSI as underlying storage - the concepts are the same. You can...

    Installing multipath-tools-boot for iSCSI?

    Hi @unsichtbarre , My guess is that the majority of people will never need this package, so there is no reason to create dependencies, or install it by default. Otherwise, it will be part of initramfs management on all installs. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for...

    The snapshot support sits above the FC/Multipath layers. It requires LVM to be placed on top of the Multipath device, as well as, snapshot-as-volume-chain 1 attributed on the storage pool. This attribute is present on the referenced page, however the primary goal of the article does not focus on...

    loosing network connectivity after setup / update / reboot

    Hi @Elleni, The first step is to go through standard Linux network troubleshooting. Capture the network state when everything is functioning correctly, then capture it again when the network is "broken". Compare the two states. Access the server via IPMI/BMC and perform basic checks: Is the...
