Hi @wolfgang, this is true. However, have disabled RAID and have Proxmox with ZFS running over a year already on this machine with no issues. Anyways, I was eventually able to reboot with the proxmox ISO in boot rescue mode. It appears the system have messed up the disk labels /dev/sda - sdd...

I have a DELL server with Proxmox 5.2 installation and all disk on ZFS. 4 Disk on raidz2 for VM and storage, then 2 disk on RAID1 for OS. One of the 4 storage disks on raidz2 failed and I have to put it offline with the plan to change disk and then do a zfs replace after reboot. On restart the...

Thank you @dcsapak. That makes sense.

Hi, I am looking to setup a daily backup of essential proxmox node configurations using rsync. The backup should contain all necessary configurations files to enable completed restore in case the main node goes completely down/bad. What are the folders and directory to backup to achieve the...

True that, but there are IaaS businesses built entirely on containers like LXC. It seem to be there has to be a way to ensure they are secure and "fully contained" from a security perspective. It will be good to know how they do it. That is what I am seeking to understand.

What are the best security measure for ensuring that CT are well contained and the users does not have access to the main node or other containers. I understand setting the CT as 'unprivileged' would help a great deal but I was wondering if there are other best practises especially based on...

Thanks. That was helpful.

I tried to create a new VM by cloning an exiting template. The new VM appears to have the same disk space as the template (say 50G). However, since I need the new VM to be of higher size, I have use the API ( /api2/json/nodes/{node}/qemu/{vmid}/resize) to resize and increase the disk size of the...

Hello @dietmar I am in a similar situation, xterm works on how and I have tried to enable serial0 on the VM but when I try to connect, it stays forever on "starting serial terminal on interface serial0 (press Ctrl+O to exit)". -------------------------------------------------------...

The ability to fully automate the provisioning of KVM on Proxmox is also important to us. Key features that we will love to see on the API for KVM will include been able to add and/or updated: Network details, hostname, root password, ssh login keys etc.

Make sense. The goal here is to setup Proxmox such that VMs can be provisioned based on an existing image and then things like Hostname, IP, Root Password automatically customised on the VM. What are the options to get this done?

Hello, Is there a pvesh or API command for doing the following. 1. Change KVM hostname 2. Add static IP to KVM 3. Update KVM root password Thank you in advance. N.B. I have search through the API reference here - https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/index.html without success.

Thanks you all. So apparently the controller firmware is out of date and need to be updated. After that I was able to enable HBA mode and Proxmox now able to see the drives. I am assuming this is "pass through" mode mentioned previously.

I may be posting this request in the wrong forum but I thought I should ask anyways. :) So I am trying to install Proxmox 5.1 on a Dell R430 and would like to use ZFS which will imply that I disable RAID. I tried to disable RAID in server BIOS but now I cannot see any drive on the system...

Hi @hadizeid, just curious to ask. What's your random read and write speed like inside the VMs? What of the IO, is the performance good generally? I am asking because I was thinking of a similar setup but wondering if performance will be an issue because of the HDD (no SSD).

Anyone try latest Hostbill with Proxmox?

Thank you for your feedback @robhost and @e100. This seem very low. So I am going to be using a 2 x E5-2660 per node. Would that really help improve performance?

I am building a Proxmox CEPH cluster (3nodes) and does not have a budget for SSD because it will be about 8T per node. So I thought of using high speed Enterprise SSDs for Journaling and then 4 x Seagate Spinpoint M9t 2Tb 2.5" ST2000LM003 for OSD per node This disk is only a 5400RPM and that...

Thanks @Melanxolik. Am guessing that's for your OSD?

Thanks @robhost. I am aware of that link. I was actually asking @Melanxolik what SSD make he used for his specific results. It is interesting that he attained 300Mb/s write and read from virtual drive.
