    Best way to convert OS storage from single disk -> RAID1?

    Alright well yeah sure looks like I'll need to rebuild these nodes. I'm not seeing any realistic way to extend the existing OS storage to a RAID1/equivalent configuration. I'll probably go with ZFS Mirror. Thanks for your time everyone! I'm a bit grumpy Proxmox VE doesn't have a webGUI way to...

    Best way to convert OS storage from single disk -> RAID1?

    1. All the VM/LXC storage is _not_ on the OS storage device. It's on Ceph or other forms of shared storage. 2. Backups are already healthy, lots of them, and are stored elsewhere (not on the PVE Cluster itself). 3. Why is wiping each node and reinstalling preferable to just converting the...

    Best way to convert OS storage from single disk -> RAID1?

    For LVM is there a Proxmox VE webGUI section that is capable of converting the LVM to a Mirror? If so please point me to it as I can't find such yet. I'm not scared of the CLI more trying to drink the kool-aid where I can so to say ;P I'm quite confident the OS storage is not on ZFS in this...

    Best way to convert OS storage from single disk -> RAID1?

    I'm still collecting info, but for one of the environments I am responsible for there are a lot of Proxmox VE Nodes with the OS installed on a single disk. I want to help convert the OS storage on each node to a logical RAID1 configuration. I don't yet know which nodes are using LVM for the OS...

    Redundant Ring Protocol/equivalent for _some_ PVE Nodes in a cluster and not others

    Alright so this is more asking ahead for future me problems... I've been recently digging into options for certain forms of fail-over and bonding, most specifically methods that span switches. I found documentation (old and new) mentioning that each PVE Node in a cluster can have additional...

    Test LACP, 1x TrueNAS + 2x Proxmox VE nodes = LACP y u no brrrtt?

    1. The last octet of the relevant nodes are almost sequential, not the actual numbers but the are along the lines of .111 and .114 (adjusted for security reasons), but they are on the same CIDR so the first three octets are the same. 2. I'm of the understanding NFS v4.x multipathing doesn't do...

    Test LACP, 1x TrueNAS + 2x Proxmox VE nodes = LACP y u no brrrtt?

    1. I'm not sure if my switch supports layer3+4 LACP, it's pretty crusty and the documentation for it is unclear (Avaya ERS4000, it's what I "got" for now). 2. Changing the LACP config on the two Proxmox nodes is less than ideal right now.

    Test LACP, 1x TrueNAS + 2x Proxmox VE nodes = LACP y u no brrrtt?

    I measure the reported inbound and outbound traffic in bits (mbps) by TrueNAS at its level. As in, I watch what metrics it reports (TrueNAS) as the VMs spin up. So far it has not been able to exceed 1gbps in either direction (inbound/outbound).

    Test LACP, 1x TrueNAS + 2x Proxmox VE nodes = LACP y u no brrrtt?

    But there are 2x PVE Nodes (physically separate computers running Proxmox VE on them), not 1x. And I was spinning up VMs on both nodes at the same time from the same storage endpoint (NFS). From what I read that should at a minimum be at least two connections.

    Test LACP, 1x TrueNAS + 2x Proxmox VE nodes = LACP y u no brrrtt?

    Putting aside the silliness of the title, I do not really see why the LACP bonding in the scenario I'm about to describe does _not_ result in >1gig combined throughput. In this scenario my Proxmox VE cluster is 2x physical nodes. Each node having 2x1gig LACP bond (layer2+3) and the ports on the...

    Any way to list systems using specific SDNs?

    At times I need to hunt down which systems are on certain SDNs within Proxmox VE, whether it's a VM or LXC. And I'm not seeing a way to list all the "things" that are currently configured to use a specific SDN. Can anyone point me to a method to do this? Or is this something that should be a...

    "Type" clipboard (feature already requested? unsure)

    Yeah I can only really speak to the statistics I "mostly" know ;P I have no real idea on specific demographics for Proxmox VE at all, hence the touch of nuance. I really see a basic starter function set here being very useful. And maybe even building on it over time to fill the achievable gaps...

    "Type" clipboard (feature already requested? unsure)

    Well what about it being a "Beta, only turn on if you know what you're doing" kind of feature? Whereby it is written with a very limited set of features (en-US + en-GB, US104/qwerty, for example) that are explicitly spelled out, so the aspects you speak to are "accounted" for by it being an...

    Upload VM disk files to CephFS/RBD? (webGUI)

    Thanks I'm going to have to mull these over and decide what to do. Much appreciated!

    Upload VM disk files to CephFS/RBD? (webGUI)

    Well I was hoping to find a webGUI method first, yes. But failing that, I still need to get this data on the cluster so I'm open to alternative recommendations :) Also, in this particular case, I have not made a specific VM for this disk to be attached to. This is an "appliance" style qcow2...

    Upload VM disk files to CephFS/RBD? (webGUI)

    Well doesn't that require the image be _on_ a Proxmox VE Node to begin with? I don't have it on any of them yet, and none of the available "Storages" in the cluster support qcow2, so I don't really have a "nice Storage space" to upload it to without getting grubby and uploading it directly to a...

    Upload VM disk files to CephFS/RBD? (webGUI)

    I'm not entirely seeing how to upload VM Disk images (qcow2/raw/whatever) to a CephFS/RBD storage aspect in a Proxmox VE cluster. Even from a manual/CLI regard I'm not exactly seeing my options here. Can anyone advise? I have a qcow2 VM disk image file I need to get into this space, and I have...

    "Type" clipboard (feature already requested? unsure)

    Why not just use the language of the client user session (webGUI login preference) and use that to determine a keyboard layout? Or maybe have keyboard layout setting for user preferences? The characters to-be-sent are already known as they're in the clipboard that can be read, the next step is...

    Is it possible to have a longer cluster tasks-list available?

    I'm necro-ing this thread because I actually have a functional need for a more consistent Cluster Task list than we are seeing lately. Client's env is v8.1.x Proxmox VE Cluster, and when I review the last week of backup tasks a lot of the tasks are not being shown in the Cluster Task list even...

    Default settings of containers and virtual machines

    Yeah I for one really want to be able to customise the cluster-wide defaults for provisioning new VMs/CTs. The proposal in the listed bug report of also having profiles for configs can be useful too, but for me at least being able to _change_ the defaults would be really great! There's multiple...
