    Partial failures and fencing

    "I have a server in a proxmox cluster that, sometimes, loses all hard disks: it is a partial failure." Wild guess: It is an HP with raid in jbod mode?

    proxmox and backup over internet

    Hi, I think you are asking: "If I use an iSCSI storage for a proxmox backup over the internet, will it be encrypted?" Perhaps a better way would be to backup to a local storage and then use an encrypted file transfer to your offsite backup? ftp is not an encrypted protocol but you could use...

    [SOLVED] LVM-Thin pool is inactive after system reboot

    You could check your kernel boot line? (in grub) Also, you could check thin-provisioning-tools is installed? I always create the thin pool with the -T switch to lvcreate, what is the advantage of the two stage create?

    Dedicated server

    You can see who logged into the web GUI in the "Cluster log" at the bottom of the web page. On the server, you can see the users by clicking on ">_Shell" and type "cat /etc/passwd". BUT this won't get you anything if you don't trust your admin person...there are many ways they could have left...

    [SOLVED] Cant join cluster

    Hi, In my experience you can't change the IPs effectively, you need to reinstall proxmox with the new IPs entered. Otherwise you get odd errors after reboot or during ops. Yours Interfering Andy

    VirtIO SCSI single stuck to 14 hard disks

    You could still do this: Create disks in a binary chop manner...(exponential might be a better name)..i.e. disk1 10GB, disk2 20GB, disk3 40GB, Then inside the VM add the disks to a VG, Then create LVs for your websites. If you need to recover disk space you can pv move the data off the disk in...

    [SOLVED] Renaming of VG and LV

    I guess you realise that you should have moved the VM's storage first...I think it works to edit the files in /etc/pve/qemu-server. The VM's are off so it should work, based on me doing it once before only.

    smartd false positive SSD CurrentPendingSector?

    If it is the same problem, you'll find the pending sectors will increase maybe up to 17 and then reset to 0 and remapped will increase by just 1. 17 is the highest I've seen I think. So keep an eye on it and check that your ssd has new firmware. If you think that there are pending sectors you...

    Node shows no vm's, but vm's are running.

    I (quite frequently) have to refresh firefox because it has lost details in the "summary" or "hardware" of VMs. Just today, firefox lost a migrated container and thought it was on the old host and could not see it in its new place until refreshed. It is probably due to running firefox through...

    Node shows no vm's, but vm's are running.

    "Different broswers has no result" vs "Switching from Firefox to Chrome did the trick" Do the PVE developers only use chrome?

    Script to shutdown node when no VM active for 1 hour

    Hi, I only said try "something like" that! "qm list" gives a list of VMs "|" sends the output to the next command grep "grep running" looks for running in the text and returns 1 if not found...so the next line should probably be 1 not 0. But I wasn't suggesting a final solution, just a...

    Regular errors on ceph pg's!

    Hi Gosha, I am worried because my setup is similar to yours - my disks are on raid cards and configured as 16 single disk raid 0s. That is the closest I could get to un-raided too. I don't get your problem perhaps because I am on proxmox 5.1 ... anyway ... Have you tried making your osds as...

    Docker-Machine driver for Proxmox

    Hi LnxBil, you say on your github project is complete and it works for you... GitLab has the ability to use docker-machine to start C.I. tests. Do you think your driver would work with GitLab to connect it to ProxMox instead of kubernetes? This would be quite cool as you could commit to GitLab...

    smartd false positive SSD CurrentPendingSector?

    At least with the newest INTEL ssd drives Pending Sector no longer means the same thing. It is used to indicate that a block will be re-mapped soon, (as far as I can tell.) On hdd it always meant that a sector could not be read and the drive is hoping that you write to it so that it can be...

    Recommended Hard Drive Configuration?

    Hi, Here is my opinion: For your "first Proxmox server", just grab any old disk and install it. Have a play and see all the amazing possibilities. For a standalone first live server, I'd go for mirrored Proxmox/OS disks 2x450G, and 2x450G mirrored for VMs to Run on. Note, there will be...

    Migrate VM with local storage, progress of

    Hi, When proxmox 5.1 migrates a VM that has local storage there is no progress reported, just started then finished. I noticed that the migrating process uses "dd". You can get progress from "dd" by sending it a USR1 signal. i.e. "pkill -USR1 dd" Andrew

    high availability - best practise

    On Xen. Remus provides transparent high availability to ordinary virtual machines running on Xen. It does this by continually live migrating a copy of a running VM to a backup server, which automatically activates if the primary server fails. The other one I know of is on VMware.

    Node shows no vm's, but vm's are running.

    Never seen that. How do you know they are running, can you see them running with "ps" or "ps -ef | grep qemu" or are you still using them?
