    using USB Hard drive to store backups

    Seems like I had a typo on the nfs share config. I can now see all my backups from all the VMs. This is the greatest ever .. One last question, once I reformat the hosts with new proxmox version, will I have any privileges error (on the usb drive)? (I am going to use same user - root- and...

    using USB Hard drive to store backups

    That makes a lot of sense and it is exactly what I was afraid of. That's why I had not formatted yet. would the proper procedure be? 1: Stop backups to this /mnt/external mount 2: Delete the backups (or scp them to the USB drive directly from terminal?) 3: remove /mnt/external from the cluster...

    vm migrate partially, leaving disks behind

    English is not my mother or first language either, thus more emphasis on care. ==> You are correct, maybe misused the word, but I assumed that in order to automatically migrate (as stated due to a problem with host) replication working was assumed. As explained, this host that failed (name is...

    vm migrate partially, leaving disks behind

    I appreciate that all the support here is free, and I really appreciate the great work that Proxmox has done for the community, but I do not appreciate the lack of interest that you guys (Proxmox Staff Members) show to the community of people that for now can not afford to pay for the support...

    vm migrate partially, leaving disks behind

    I found somewhat solution. Since the drives were still on the original host, but I couldn't move them, I tried moving the config files, which did not work either, but I made copy of the content (cat xxxx.conf) and created a new one (new id) on the original host where the HDs are (vi zzzz.conf)...

    Replication not happening, help.

    Thanks Tom. I wish I could afford to pay for commercial support, but my budget at this moment does not allow for the 1,500 euros of the basic.. Maybe in a year if this finally takes off and I can actually stop putting money into this organization. This may sound stupid to people that know so...

    Replication Failure

    I am going y and can not find a solution. Since I could no longer user zfs destroy to delete the files (and I did not know which files I had to delete anyhow) I tried following what was told in another thread, create a backup, move the file, restore with new ID. All that worked perfectly, but...

    Replication Failure

    hmm, ZFS tool ... that I have no idea :) I guess I have research to do , did I mess it up by deleting in terminal with a simple rm ?

    Replication Failure

    Hi, thanks for the reply and for the info about known problems, I could live with these problems if the solution of manually deleting the previous replications worked, but it seems it does not. I deleted all the vm-101-* both from "/dev/zvol/rpool/data" and from "/dev/rpool/data" then...

    Memory usage more than summary of VMs

    I Have 128 gb on each of the 3 servers and was planning on using about 84 (12gb *7 vm) to 108 (12 gb *9 vm) on each one, leaving plenty for management and in case one of the servers goes down, be able to split the load to the others. Rhinox, and the others, I really appreciate all the help :)
