I know out of the box ZFS ARC will consume upto half of the hosts memory so 256GB in my case. I also know that this memory is released to other processes when needed...

    Replication to multiple nodes?

    Hi all, Can I create multiple replication jobs for a single guest to multiple nodes within my cluster? If so, what happens when the currently running node fails and the HA service starts the guest on the preferred node? Do ALL the replication jobs get reversed as well? Thanks

    Reducing backup storage requirements?

    Hi there, I am a fan of the out the box Proxmox backup solution. Its simple yet effective! However on larger clusters with many VM's, running daily full backups obviously means huge disk space requirements. I am a long time Proxmox user and have built several large clusters with it, but in...

    I am having a problem creating a udev rule that sets max_sectors_kb to 1024 for sd* (sda,sdb,sdc etc...) devices under /sys/block/. Specifically, a recent kernel change means the max IO is too large for my iSCSI SAN so I am trying to set it to 1024 on startup. I have tried the following from...

    FEATURE REQUEST: iSCSI MPIO in GUI

    Hi guys, Just think having iSCSI MPIO configuration options in the GUI for cluster wide MPIO configuration would be a good idea. Saves having to create an MPIO configuration on every cluster node then present it for LVM in GUI. Tom
