    Hi all, I have a 3 node proxmox cluster with pve6, on HPE DL380gen10 hardware. I had just upgraded from pve 5 to pve6, so i was checking things. At some point I noticed that one node had wrong time and it was 10minutes behind. I added an ntp server and synced the time.... Immediately the server...

    restoring previously passthroughed adapters

    Hi all, I am on Proxmox 5.4.6 and I did a passthrough of an Intel x710 adapter to a VM. The adapter had a interface name on Proxmox (enp59s0f0) and after the VM started, the adapter was removed from Proxmox. I have two questions: - Now I have stopped the VM and I have removed the passthrough...

    Hi all, I would like to convert an LVM based disk to VHD format. I have done it successfully by getting a backup (vma.lzo) and then decompressing it, extracting it and converting it (qemu-img convert). I woud like to do this in fewer steps. So, I have the following questions: - I though of...

    NUMA questions

    Hi all, There is an option to select NUMA when you configure a VM's CPU. While I know the basic NUMA concepts, I don't really understand what this checkbox does. So, I have a few questions about it and an application that might benefit from enabling NUMA. Starting from the App, I have a VM that...

    lvm/dmsetup nightmares

    lvm/dmsetup nightmares

    Hi all, I tried to remove an FC VOL from proxmox and it didn;t go very well. The sequence was this: I had moved the disk of a VM to another VOL. After I did that, i tried to delete the unused disk, but proxmox didn't do it with the message: error with cfs lock 'storage-gix': lvremove...

    Storage migration

    Hi again, I would like to ask what is the technology behind storage migration. Is the "source" disk snapshoted before migration (LVM based disk) and if it is, does that mean that the VG that the source LV (VM disk) resides on, needs to have extra room for the sectors written after the...

    devmapper does not destroy devices

    Hi all, I have a 5.4-6 proxmox installation. I have connected an iscsi LUN by hand with multipathd. I have given the iscsi disk to LVM and the LVM to proxmox. I used it to transfer a few VMs on it (that was the purpose) and then I needed to disconnect the iscsi from proxmox and migrate the...

    Proxmox v 5.0 on HPE Proliant DL380 Gen10

    Hi, My cluster is running for over a year on gen10 and it is fine. I am on Proxmox 5.4-3, right now. Perhaps you have migrated your VMs, from much older Proxmox versions and there are virtual HW incompatibilities? My VMs, were created on the Gen10 cluster itself. Sp

    Storage migration

    Hi all, I am running Proxmox 5.4-6 on a 3 node cluster. I have a VM that consumes 15TB of storage, which is LVM based (it sits on FC storage). I would like to do a live migration of this disk, to a new storage (LVM storage, iscsi mounted on proxmox). Keep in mind that the VM is running and the...

    Hi all, I tried to replace a host in my cluster. I removed the host from the cluster with the command "pvecm delnode hs2", reinstalled from scratch the new host with the same name (hs2) and then added the new host. The hosts was added succesfully, but when i try to migrate a VM, it says...

    custom OVMF Bios

    Hi, Black magic. It worked. Here is what i did: I added the line : drive 'if=pflash,unit=0,format=raw,readonly,file=/mnt/pve/useful/OVMF-20160813.fd' in /etc/pve/qemu-server/176.conf . Still complains about a ton of things, but i can get into a bootloader (see below). Then I do: loader > boot...

    custom OVMF Bios

    Hi all, I want to run a virtual Nexus 9K (cisco switch) on my Proxmox. There is an qcow2 image that I have used to create a VM in proxmox. The GNS3 project (network simulation) also provide a OVMF-20160813.fd file that I understand it is the UEFI BIOS that the VM must boot from...

    proxmox reduce quorum votes / fencing

    Hi Dietmar, Thanx for the answer. Perhaps it would be a nice idea, to put a vibrant warning on the Proxmox GUI, that the cluster is in a state with no node redundancy at the moment. This kind of warning might break my false sense of redundancy because I had 3 active nodes in the cluster...

    proxmox reduce quorum votes / fencing

    Hi all, Today, I rebooted one node and every node of cluster rebooted... Now, the details: I have a cluster of 4 nodes, where 1 is constantly down, because it has a hardware failure and we are waiting for spare parts. So, the cluster has 4 nodes, where 3 of them are alive. Now, I rebooted one...

    GUI can't browse/use storages

    Hi Stoiko, I am attaching my storage.cfg file. Let me give you, a little bit more detail about this. While the situation was ongoing, at first I was able to do "lvdisplay". After sometime, the situation got worse and I could not do lvdisplay any more and the cluster stopped receiving info...

    GUI can't browse/use storages

    Hi all, I have a 3 node cluster and one of the nodes, can not browse the storage (show info, see files) from the gui. The storage underneath is fine. From the shell, I can see the volumes (LVM), read files and the VMs are fine. The result is that I can not add a disk to a VM because the GUI...

    Proxmox cloudinit options VS cloudinit options

    Hi all, I am using cloudinit under 5.2 proxmox for deploying VMs. I can see in the cloudinit manuals in (https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) , that there are a zillion options to do more that just setup the few options that exists in the proxmox-VM cloudinit menu. So, is it possible...

    Ceph OSD reuse after reinstall

    Ok, I found a way to do this, so here you are: I remounted the metadata partitions at /var/lib/ceph/osd (exactly like they used to be). For example: mount /dev/sdb1 /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-12 then systemctl start ceph-osd@12 systemctl enable ceph-osd@12 Of course you need to do it for...
