Hi Team was wondering if there is any movement on the zfs over iscsi plugin for multipath? https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage:_ZFS_over_iSCSI it looks like this wiki page was last updated on FreeBSD v10 which is a little old now. seeing if there are any updates to this plugin? “”Cheers G

I don’t have a specific number in mind I’m looking into best fit and costing compared to other solutions. we are using vsan on our VMware deployment and thinking what’s a good equivalent for ProxMox. have been looking at linbit drbd and other solutions like truenas which would would use the...

Hi Team im investigating using Ceph and PVE hyperconverged, reading over the documentation there are some anecdotal numbers for small deployments, what consists of a small deployment is this the minimum 3 hosts? whats the max recommendation for number of hosts that can be run in a cluster...

Hi LnxBil thanks for the reference post, had a quick look at the script and its quiet straight forward. What i would prefer is to have these additional features: incorporate some sort of process for error checking once the backup is uploaded (verify) Another process here that just slipped my...

hi Alwin is this something we could engage the ProxMox team to develop? ””Cheers G

I'm wondering if this article can explain why its now working? https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Software_RAID i've opened a ticket with Proxmox about software raid support and what options we have as far as the above link shows its apparently not supported :( let's see what they come back with...

Hi a4t3rburn3r i've done some digging on a few different fronts and also have some questions before we can determine what's causing the LVM rebuild issue. in relation to hardware Riad for NVME it can be done at the cost of the bus speed, so having to traverse the PCI bus will mean you won't...

Hi a4t3rburn3r thanks for pointing out what you where referring to reguargind the LVM Raid and i agree with some of your points. In relation to the hardware raid for NVME every vendor we have spoken with for quotes recently (in the last 3 weeks) Dell, HPE and SuperMicro none of them offer a...

I believe this clearly explains why your LVM is failing as it’s not actually raid it’s an extension layer to increase space between physical drives. LVM no redundancy. I.e. 10 + 10 = 20 Raid 1 mirror replication 10 + 10 = 10 Raid 5 parity 1 drive for fault tolerance 10 + 10 + 10 = 20 Etc...

Hi a4t3rburn3r Yes software raid in my opinion is pretty useless and needs refinement. I would stick with a hardware raid option of using ssd. Eject faulty > insert replacement > rebuild hands free > job done. Zfs raid is better but too many overheads if your looking for performance. If...

Hi a4t3rburn3r you wouldn't use ZFS on top of DRBD there will be a performance hit by ZFS and yes you are correct other memory overhead to consider + more to manage. Did you use software RAID or Hardware Raid? With hardware raid just replace the drive and it should just auto rebuild with no...

Hi rodrigobaldasso i wouldn't recommend running ZFS over iSCSI there are a lot more memory overheads to consider and managing ZFS can be a beast if you dont have the experience and configure SSD write and read caches properly. i believe DRBD is supported by Proxmox they have their own module...

Hi a4t3rburn3r DRBD and Linstore are a good alternative to Ceph, we are going to be testing this solution soon. There are a few other posters on here testing drbd as well. There are modules available for DRBD that hook into ProxMox and allow for HA failover as well so it’s a good alternative...

Hi rodrigobaldasso Just to clarify if you are only looking to deploy a single server then just use local storage in a Raid config otherwise its a messy setup and more to trouble shoot. Ceph is replicated object storage designed to be used across multiple nodes for both Flie and block storage...

Hi RCD when adding a new disk to a VM via PVE it won't be seen within the VM OS until you log into the VM OS via SSH or console > perform a Disk partition on the new drive > format the drive with the appropriate file system > mount it so it is available for use. some basic Linux skills will be...

Hi Dazza76 You may wish to disable “delay-ack” Make sure you are using jumbo frames MTU 9000 on the NIC ports (host and SAN) and Switch. How’s the setup going? We are investigating attaching a 3Par would be great to hear any feedback. “”Cheers G

Hi tokala Just had a look at your mini projects they look pretty interesting. Are you officially contributing to Proxmox or are these just independent projects? ""Cheers G

Hi TheJM no offence taken :) hope it all come together for you. ""Cheers G
