oh and footnotes. - I believe on the client I've got deployed with shared LVM, I do have VM Snapshot as part of VM backups working. Not 100% sure though. My vague recollection is "that it just works as expected". - no experience with ocfs2 so cannot comment. - no comment on other things if I...

Hi, I think I answered your question 3 in my post? ie, - you must manually configure the SAN Backed LVM storage, from each proxmox node. There is not any 'automatic propigation' of shared storage from one Proxmox node to other nodes, for any (!) of the shared storage types, as far as I am...

Hi, to clarify, - the boards boot fine from stock debian media - do you know (precisely) what boot options are passed to the kernel, for a viable boot from debian ? - have you tried the (precisely) same boot options on the proxmox boot loader ? Tim

Hi Francesco, just to confirm, I've got a client with this deployed config and it works just fine. Single disk array with 2 x Fibre ports off the raid controller; 2 proxmox hosts are connected. Proxmox at bare metal / Debian level when fibre ports are cabled you can see the link up messages in...

:-) yes! It is true, Murphy will find a way. For a serious deployment which supports many clients, I think this is a very good design philosophy. ( "Baseline Protection Regulation" if google translate is proper for "Grundschutzverordnung" ). Most of my client deployment projects are 'tiny' by...

Hi, Management network needs multicast support (assuming this is how the proxmox cluster nodes identify one another) (inherently will be typically supported by your average local dedicated hardware..); and ideally should be nice and reliable (ie, to prevent false alarms for "HA detects fail")...

Hi, maybe start with a bit of reading in the wiki docs ? https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore broadly speaking, the clean way to do it - stop the VMs - run backups on all VMs, 'stop' mode, to storage which is sufficient to hold them. By default backups will go to the...

Hi, For any HA Config, you need 'shared storage' which permits access to the concurrent storage from all nodes with impunity. During a HA fail event, when one node is confirmed 'dead' by the remaining nodes, then all VMs who were configured HA and running on the "Failed Node" - are...

Hi, I have just a couple of comments, maybe others will chime in hopefully as well. -- ZFS I believe won't give you a distributed HA fault tolerant storage (aka 'converged hypervisor' environment); but rather a ZFS feature-rich local storage pool on each physical node. So if that physical node...

Thanks for summarizing back to the thread - glad to hear that this was possible / to make your config more solid. I agree that mdadm linux raid via 'custom install' feels complex compared to any version of the 'appliance install of proxmox' - especially if you are not familiar with doing linux...

Possible solution? (a) Buy a new hard drive outright to replace the failing drive (b) remove and replace; let rebuild complete (c) return bad part under warranty, and eventually get a replacement back in the mail (d) now you have a cold-spare drive on hand for quick and easy use the next time a...

Hi, it is good question. I haven't done ZFS with proxmox other than basic test appliance based (simple mirror disk set) install ~last year on a throwaway test box. Quick google, I find discussion-howtos such as, https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wiki/Debian-Jessie-Root-on-ZFS which appear to...
