well i can safely say im none the wiser having read the above - although one thing i will certainly be doing while i work this out for myself is taking a cold backup of my guest vm! ;-)

Hi Dominic thanks for coming back to me - correct the 2 servers are on seperate clusters (in seperate cities) so just being used as "remotes" to provide a second copy of the backups. I've deleted the datastores and recreated seperate datastores to avoid the scenario where a datastore is...

i have 2 proxmox ve servers in different locations each running its own instance of pbs - local guests backup to a local datastore on each machine. offsite copies of these backups are then achieved by configuring each datastore as a remote on the corresponding offsite machine (i.e. each...

Hi Stoiko as far as im aware it has latest bios/firmware so I dont think thats the route forward. any other thoughts appreciated though

Hi Folks Ive seen other threads relating to similar issues but nothing that left me confident to start bludgeoning the OS so any measured suggestions appreciated. Essentially, the extra 4-port ethernet card has lost 2 of its interfaces since upgrade to v6 (denoted rename 7 and rename8 below)...

did you manage to get anywhere with this or did you just get sent on more wild goose chases to observe the misery of others and thus increase your own! im looking for some pointers to setup a tftp/nfs boot of proxmox if you have any useful suggestions!

thanks for your feedback Alwin - I was looking at a shortcut approach here - i.e. im looking for someone to show me a similar working config or their comments on such - i totally appreciate this system is documented and i will read that end to end if i need to. I think i understand your quorum...

A bit of a steer from the Ceph experts amongst you please - i have 3 proxmox nodes in a cluster which are all running Ceph also. Im looking for a (crushmap?) configuration that will allow my VMs to run with a single server powered on (this is a power saving test mode for running vms without...

thank you Thomas - yes this is starting to become clear to me that ceph cant bootstrap itself!. Moving on, I have seen people use the sata port (for optical drive) in this server to connect a sata drive. I would hope to be able to boot from this and it sounds a step up from an sd card!... i...

Hi. Im looking to build a new proxmox 4 node cluster from scratch using 4x HP DL360p G8 servers. I would also like this cluster to include Ceph storage (exclusively - including for boot). I am taking this direction with Ceph reluctantly because I have not been able to find a cost effective...

thank you Damon i will take a look, appreciate your response here, cheers, alex

Hi Im looking to build a 4 node proxmox ceph cluster from low cost low power HP hardware. I have decided to use DL360p G8. Firstly I am not sure whether the P420i disk controller is suitable - i think if it can be configured to HBA mode then it would be suitable. Q1) can it be configured to...

Hi Gosha would you be able to share the components you have used in your DL380 G8 - i intend to use a DL360 G8 and want to get the correct disk controller - i dont thing the P420i will go to HBA mode so i need an alternate HBA card.. also a recomended 10Gbs card would be great also. Thank you in...
