    [solved] proxmox backup server als third node in cluster possible?

    Thanks for your post. Well it was no problem installing both on barebone - just apt-get install proxmox-backup-server on pve console. What I'd like to understand, is if pve / pbs box can be joined to the cluster while not being on the cluster network (172.16.x.y in my case) thus communicating to...

    [solved] proxmox backup server als third node in cluster possible?

    I have setup a two node cluster, and now I'd like to add my proxmox-backup-server as third node only for quorum but without putting vms on it. Thus I installed ProxMox VE first and then added ProxMox Backup Server. While the two nodes have a separate network card where I configured the cluster...

    Replication not possible on encrypted data pool?

    I have setup a 2 node cluster, and migration of a vm from one node to the other works fine, but trying to enable replication, I get the following error: 2020-11-03 22:44:01 106-0: start replication job 2020-11-03 22:44:01 106-0: guest => VM 106, running => 19766 2020-11-03 22:44:01 106-0...

    [solved] change data partition to zfs while preserving ext4 setup of proxmox installation

    As one disk of the mdadm mirror was defective and re-assemble the raid resulted in data corruption,I re-installed and restored the vms from vzdumps, so the problem was solved by creating a small mirrored root pool (32 GB) and an additional mirrored datapool for data.

    [solved] Prevent ProxMox from mounting non existing pool

    As the only pool was a data but no root pool I finally found out that it can not be related to zfs. The problem was a failed disk, which corrupted the root partition on my md0 device. I finally took the opportunity to reinstall after disk has been changed. This time I did not install debian and...

    [solved] Prevent ProxMox from mounting non existing pool

    I only have access to a rescue system (grml) which does not have zfs tools installed. Also it is a 32 bit grml which prevents me from chrooting into the installed proxmox. Because else I would have tried to recreate a pool of the same name to see if this lets boot the server os without panic. I...

    [solved] change data partition to zfs while preserving ext4 setup of proxmox installation

    Yeah, I thought about that too, thus would like to free the space without re-installing to create a mirrored pool. Is that possible without reinstall? Is it possible to fail sda2 or sdb2 to create a zpool, copy over the vzdumps, and finally somehow delete md0p3 and shrink the raid1 or recreate...

    I would like to change my data partition from cryptsetup_luks on a mirrored device to a zpool, and need some advice. The install shall stay on the mirrored ext4 filesystem. First I thought, easy - fail one partition of the mirror, create a pool, copy the data to the new dataset on the new pool...

    ZFS reconfiguration

    Anyone? Would it be possible to remove one disk from mirror, and add it as disk by-id instead and then do the same thing with the other partition? What would be the correct steps to do this? And does all this work without formatting the disk? I would like try the following but would need to...
