just pinging this thread to ask status (2 weeks later I think approx?) I am asking because I'm trying to sort out a new-install proxmox-latest on a Dell R815 with a PERC h700 which also uses mpt3sas driver and I cannot get proxmox to work with the device. Even with addition of kernel boot...

Ping? does anyone have any thoughts comments? I am still baffled why MPT_SAS is so busted on this hardware with more recent linux/proxmox; but it works fine with an ancient Sysrescue/10year old boot media. Thank you. (!!)

A footnote on this thread in case it helps others. I came here via google search quite a while after this was an active thread but still seems relevant. I've got a fairly current (Proxmox 7.4) cluster setup of a few nodes. And I've noted that LXC Containers - if I migrate from one node to...

Hi, here are some photo snips of dmesg / errors from various attempts, with brief text to try to help give context and clarify. these are all with h700 card, and a pair of 1Tb SSD attached with a single raid mirror volume defined. First error ref from Proxmox-latest installer key text error...

Thank you. That is a good suggestion. I agree, my feeling that MPT SAS was expected for me to be "a no brainer, easy good reliable because super standard and extremely well supported". Hence all my frustration with this. With my test work yesterday - On new-current Debian and Proxmox, there is...

A small followup on this. I banged my head on this problem again today. I thought I was being clever, I got my hands on a nicer H700 raid card which is better version of the h200. I foolishly assumed that the better HW Raid features of the h700 might make it work better. Alas I have the same...

Follow up on this thread. It seems there is a known bug in the megasas config / driver as per discussion here with workaround in theory, If you are using BIOS add it in grub, nano /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet mpt3sas.max_queue_depth=10000" alas for me, I used Debian.12...

Ok - thank you. I think it is ok to park this topic unless I get any more issues here in which case I'll be sure to update with a current / relevant log. The system seems to be working well since then so I am pretty sure it was a transitory issue. Thanks! Tim

OK! Here is snip from output from journalctl -b-1 which maybe is of relevant time and maybe of slight interest/use? Jul 27 07:54:34 proxmox pvedaemon[164630]: <root@pam> successful auth for user 'root@pam' Jul 27 07:54:54 proxmox pvedaemon[95451]: <root@pam> starting task...

Hi, sorry for lack of clarity there! I just confirmed, root@proxmox:~# uptime 09:55:15 up 1:08, 1 user, load average: 0.24, 0.21, 0.13 root@proxmox:~# root@proxmox:~# date Thu 27 Jul 2023 09:55:45 AM ADT root@proxmox:~# so the server was rebooted at 846am approx local time I am pretty...

more footnote, wow your reply was fast. I didn't even note you had replied until after I posted my (above) footnote. Here is bit more info for ref - not big deal but just to be a bit more complete root@proxmox:~# pveversion pve-manager/8.0.3/bbf3993334bfa916 (running kernel: 6.2.16-5-pve) and...

Footnote on my note, I just rebooted the proxmox node, and things were OK - LXC services were fine after reboot and the OpenVPN LXC Debian container I had prepped - is now fine / no drama. I am not entirely clear why the LXC service(s) were in a stop state when I was working on this earlier...

Hi, just a small bump on this. I did a clean setup yesterday of (a) Debian-12 latest minimal on Linux SW Raid stock config (b) Proxmox-latest on top of this (c) In a manner I have done in the past without drama; but today is first one with latest (Prox8/Deb12) for me. (ie, in the past I've done...

Small ping on this, I found some discussion here, https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-ae/000146547/installing-debian-7-wheezy-os-in-dell-poweredge-r630-with-perc-h330-controller which suggests a workaround, kind of, I think. It seems weird to me this raid card is not supported. Since it is...

Hi, I wanted to ask for comments-thoughts. I was trying to setup a box for a client today, it was running VMware until - today - and we wanted to flip it over to be a test box for proof-of-concept as proxmox at their site. The drama appears to be mostly related to the fact that it has a Perc...

Hi Forum, Thread small update in case anyone else hits this topic. I just bumped into this / came here via google search. Context in my case: - 3 node proxmox with mostly local storage 'share nothing' storage pools - one NFS storage pool existed - due to maintenance issues with hosting...

Hi, thank you for the reply. These are great suggestions and questions. - yes the blob of text given above is the full output from the VM107 start task log. - I dig into logs on host, and found a few things related that may be of interest. Sep 26 12:48:21 proxmox QEMU[16996]: qcow2: Marking...

Hi everyone, small 'fun' question. New one for me, I am banging my head on this gently in the last few days. I've got a proxmox (ver 6.4.15) host at a client site (yes, I need to upgrade it to 7.Latest) which has been in service a few years (approx) Generally it works smoothly (Dell 2u...

This is not really helpful very likely, just an observation-comment. My opinion on the topic of ZFS (or unsupported linux SW raid) and then vanilla Hardware Raid. Or no raid at all. Raid is important for production generally. data backups / VM Backups are really important Part of raid being a...

Hi, I am curious to ask. This maybe super obvious but I am having trouble getting my head around it. I've got a client who has onsite Proxmox system / which has PBS running locally on Proxmox Server as well. They have one main VM for their office to be operational. It has a nightly backup...
