I have just replaced our backup server with a Dell machine running a pair of 8 core Xeon Gold 6144's with 512GB of RAM, and 24 x 12G 7.68TB SAS SSD's in a hardware RAID 10 on a Dell PERC H740P (I have tested ZFS as well via HBA mode). The PBS box has a pair of 40Gb NIC's in a LACP to our Nexus...

I would also like to see if TLS transport could be disabled for PBS connections. I am using fast enterprise hardware with all flash storage, PBS on 2 x 40Gb NIC, hosts on 2 x 10Gb, recent Xeon gold & platinum CPU's but these are the benchmark numbers. Be nice to see if I can speed this up...

Thanks. 1. Understood, sync into a clean datastore and then prune down to what we need. Sync that to a new datastore served by my external disks. 2. Could you give me a quick/dirty guide on how to do this, where is the datastore config, and upon mounting the disk in a new server, adjusting the...

Hi all, I am about to replace our long standing PBS with some new all flash hardware. Since there has been significant changes to our Proxmox VE cluster environment since this was installed, I want to start fresh and not perform any migration of the existing backups. However, I do want to take...

Doesn't work :-( Pending removals still there following a GC run 30 mins after running this.

Unfortunately no responses :-( I am about to pick this back up in the lab, no-one have any experience?

Was this ever implemented as a GUI option on a per user basis? It would be nice.

Hi all, I have been trying to implement 802.1X auth on my Proxmox host via wpa_supplicant with EAP-TLS using certificates issued by this particular sites network team. However.... No matter what I try, or how many times I get a new set of certs, I am failing on auth due to an 'openssl wrong...

Hi all, I have noticed that the backup scheduler options in 7.1-4 differ substantially from 7.0-11. Why is this and whats the correct method in 7.1-4 for a daily 00:00 run? Thanks 7.1-4: 7.0-11:

Its been a long time since I initially posted in this thread. The problem was caused by bad VirtIO drivers. Switching to the latest stable instead of the latest beta which I downloaded by mistake solved the issue. I have used the net-kvm VirtIO driver from the latest stable VirtIO package on...

I am back. 2 nights ago we broke the cluster down 1 node at a time and rebuilt with ZFS RAID 10. Performance improvement is massive. I done some quick Fio testing and could acheive over 2200MB/s sequential. Random performance appeared to present between 90k and 250k IOPS depending on the type of...

Ah I remember now. I think im going to bin these cluster nodes one at a time, rebuild with ZFS RAID 10, set a 32GB cache and re add to cluster. Almost forgot how much parity based RAID sucks.

I’m using a RAID Z1 with default config. Which I understand is basically the same as a traditional RAID 5. Performance appears to be good. But then again I do have a massive 256GB max cache. Which ZFS option on the installer corresponds to which equivalent RAID layout? When using traditional...

Really, 8GB max!?. I’m conscious here that best practice is to give ZFS as much RAM you can can…. I’ve used Ceph on other clusters. It works, but I don’t need the shared storage model here.

Hi all, have just deployed a new 3 node cluster consisting of 3 dell boxes, each with two 14 core CPU’s, 512GB RAM and 10 SSD’s. 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...

So I have to wake this thread up as I am excited to use Proxmox Backup Server for the first time. (I am a long time user of Proxmox VE). Is there an easy way, like the OP asked, that I can copy a backup from a period in time, to a USB disk for DIRECT restoration on a PVE host? Or so I can mount...

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

I am currently trialling the QXL display adapter with 128MB memory. UPDATE: The two VM's I set to use SPICE, went into a paused state an hour later. Why is that? UPDATE: Windows sleep settings, the QXL pack installs a version of the qemu guest agent which obviously exposes the power interface.

Bump, Anyone?

Hi all, Running a small VDI environment with a selection of Windows 10 VM's. These are all accessed via MS RDP. They don't do anything particularly video intensive but since this is a for a remote teaching environment, a couple of the VM's do use classroom control software that monitors the...
