Awesome. I don't see that stated in the docs, but now that you've made it clear I don't need to worry about that. :) Part of the goal with my move is to do away with a shared storage backend that I no longer trust. I think this probably gets me there, and will provide the peace of mind to...

Thanks, Alwin. After reading the thread where people document their Ceph performance, I'm not sure I'd be happy with that solution. I can see backups really slowing things down if I were to go that route. So, with storage replication: can it failover automatically? Searching shows some...

I ran a Proxmox cluster for a while a couple of years back and was reasonably happy running on ZFS as local storage for VMs, but wanted native support for Veeam so I moved to Hyper-V. I'm not nearly as happy with Hyper-V, and am at the point where I'll either install reinstall my VMs on bare...

Thanks,Wolfgang. :)

I'm in the process of migrating from Proxmox to another virtualization platform because business needs require Veeam, and Veeam doesn't support Proxmox. To do this I've been pulling a node, configuring it using the other hypervisor, and pushing a restore of my VMs to the new hypervisor. I've...

Yeah, but I didn't want to say that because it's cool. Though I'm happy I didn't need to be that involved. Or at least, not yet. ;) Proxmox occupies a very good niche, with great utility and a very reasonable price. I'm glad I learned it. Business needs change (and businesses change...

Thanks, Thomas. My first trial run with a Centos 7 machine worked once I selected the recovery kernel. I haven't tried the Ubuntu machine yet - I may need to try your solution there. It's innovative though. I dig it. :D

So my business focus has changed a bit, and now I'm selling backups and DR. Which means I'll be running Veeam, which means I need to switch my cluster to Hyper-V or VMWare in order to support the most useful functions that Veeam offers. Is there a solid tutorial on migrating to Hyper-V? Is it...

Thanks, folks. I've always done it on an IP basis in the past, but I'm using an existing QNAP machine now and the ip address permission system was really hard to find. Once I located that backups started to run. Thanks for all your help. :)

Thanks, Dominik. I tried it as v4 but that wasn't the cure, so I'll look into another form of sharing.

OK, let's try this a different way: Has anyone successfully mounted an NFS share that required a username/password?

I'm missing something really simple here. I've got a network share that's password protected. In /etc/pve/storage.cfg I changed the options line to state: options vers=3,username=myusername,password=mypassword (not my real username/password, of course.) When the backup task tries to...

From the page on Ceph:

How about here?

As a related point, not directly related to your question, I saw this the other day: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/filecab/2016/11/18/dont-do-it-consumer-ssd/ I thought it was a solid breakdown on performance issues between enterprise- and consumer-grade SSDs, and why you want the former...

This is actually the link I was looking for. No wonder I couldn't find it here.

There have been a couple of other threads about this, but I only saw one in a quick perusal of the forum. As I understand it, if you're using the enterprise repository you aren't affected.

So, here's what he needs to know: RAID1 is a mirror. One drive fails and things keep on chugging. Two drives fail and you're screwed. RAID10 is a way to string lots of RAID1 mirrors together. You can get better speed this way, and recovering from one failed drive is faster than with the...

If you dig around there are some recommendations, but I'd look at Samsung SM863 drives for an affordable cache disk. Size isn't all that important: basically ZFS is going to queue up disk writes and synch them all to disk every 5 seconds or so, and synchronous writes that happen between those 5...

I don't have any idea, but I'd assume so. I'm just monitoring to see how Proxmox wants us to react to this.
