I'm running a 'current latest' proxmox (OVH Server stock install) 5.2-7 which has about 10 x LXC VMs on the physical host. Initially it was setup with ~5 VMs and then I added 6 more roughly a week ago. 5 of the 6 new VMs were deployed using a template/copy made from a slightly older proxmox5...

Ah, yes! I must admit I haven't done a project with Xenserver for a few years now (more than a few, really) so my brain happily has forgotten about the paravirtual VMs there. You are correct, this makes sense that there are problems. I did quick google, and found a few things, this one...

Sounds good / clear. I have tried ZFS a few times in the past 5 years, and in all cases for my use cases I am much happier with linux software raid config. I do realize different people have different use cases! Maybe you need more ram, CPU, and possibly other config tuning, in order to...

For what it is worth, you may wish to reconsider your design philosophy slightly? I looked at a similar project build ~1.5 years ago and my general feeling was that -- Ceph was possible with a 'modest size' cluster (ie, 3-5 nodes of proxmox with ceph 'hyperconverged storage pool') -- but the...

Can you temporarily boot your win2008 VM using say "Linux SysRescue LiveCD Iso" as your boot media. Then mount the windows VM Disk using <included NTFS mount tool of your choice on the live CD> From there you now have a stable environment, ie, SSH / console of the solid booted liveCD access to...

Devils advocate question, why are you choosing to use ZFS at all in your proxmox install/config ? Is there specific requirement that drives this? My experience would suggest the simpler thing to do - is avoid ZFS. Just 2 cents sort of question/comment. Thanks, Tim

Hi Darren, not to be devil advocate entirely, but, is there a specific need/requirement for you to use ZFS in your proxmox deployment? (ie, as opposed to .. say, vanilla setup with HW Raid disks and standard local storage?) Tim

For what it is worth, my general feeling for ZFS and proxmox, is that - you should have a really good reason to use ZFS, otherwise I don't think it would be my recommended pick for "simple,easy,works well". But possibly there is an "SOP" somewhere on how to tweak-tune proxmox so that ZFS...

Hi, there are various documents on 'migrating to proxmox' and conceptually it is all the same as 'migration from physical or VM-alternate-platform to proxmox'. - if windows VM guest, make sure to install IDE reg support before doing migration - it may be beneficial to remove...

Hi, can you give a bit more detail about (precisely?) -- what ISO you are using to install (ie, SME server iso named, ...... / obtained from ... where?) -- what config you are using for the VM you are trying to install ? I've installed SME / and more recently "ClearOS" (ie, the successor to SME...

Hi, what do you see on the console of the proxmox host when you do the reboot? Are you able / have you tried to 'tweak' the 'default' boot stanza being passed to the kernel? (ie, don't let it auto-boot with default!) My test-dev proxmox box was giving me some pain recently after a reboot, with...

Hi, Just a small added vote of confidence / and a few comments ... (A) It is basically trivial process, if you start with one node in production, run it standalone for a period of time (Months,etc) and then in future, wish to add more nodes / create a multi-node cluster. Simply clean-install...

Hi, I am curious if this sounds vaguely familiar to anyone else. I recall I had an issue with e1000 driver a few years ago but I can't recall seeing an issue like this for quite a while. I've got a machine at a client SMB office, running proxmox with a couple of VMs. It is a 'entry level'...

Hi, sounds to me like the old proxmox install / disk has VGs present which block automated new-clean install. So, either use a different disk, or, destroy the content of that disk first (ie, clobber disk slices) so it is empty before trying the new automated install. I'm not clear if this...

oh and footnotes. - I believe on the client I've got deployed with shared LVM, I do have VM Snapshot as part of VM backups working. Not 100% sure though. My vague recollection is "that it just works as expected". - no experience with ocfs2 so cannot comment. - no comment on other things if I...

Hi, I think I answered your question 3 in my post? ie, - you must manually configure the SAN Backed LVM storage, from each proxmox node. There is not any 'automatic propigation' of shared storage from one Proxmox node to other nodes, for any (!) of the shared storage types, as far as I am...

Hi, to clarify, - the boards boot fine from stock debian media - do you know (precisely) what boot options are passed to the kernel, for a viable boot from debian ? - have you tried the (precisely) same boot options on the proxmox boot loader ? Tim

Hi Francesco, just to confirm, I've got a client with this deployed config and it works just fine. Single disk array with 2 x Fibre ports off the raid controller; 2 proxmox hosts are connected. Proxmox at bare metal / Debian level when fibre ports are cabled you can see the link up messages in...

:-) yes! It is true, Murphy will find a way. For a serious deployment which supports many clients, I think this is a very good design philosophy. ( "Baseline Protection Regulation" if google translate is proper for "Grundschutzverordnung" ). Most of my client deployment projects are 'tiny' by...

Hi, Management network needs multicast support (assuming this is how the proxmox cluster nodes identify one another) (inherently will be typically supported by your average local dedicated hardware..); and ideally should be nice and reliable (ie, to prevent false alarms for "HA detects fail")...
