Went ahead with a ZFS root pool. Backed up the containers and VMs from my proxmox 6 install and then restored them on the Proxmox 7.1 install. Then created a new ZFS pool for data backup from my TrueNAS pool and set up ZFS Replication to run every night on my 4 important datasets. Everything...

Just an update. Created a key in TrueNAS and pasted it in the root's authorized_keys file and was able to set up the connection via the root account? Ideal? No, as I would have liked to disable root logins on the SSH. But at the same time, I didn't want to veer too much away from standard...

The battery back up is not used when in HBA mode because the caching is not done at the hardware level. I wouldn't put the battery on, if I were you. Sell it off on ebay if you know you are never going to use the card again as a hardware RAID card. Or keep it in storage.

hmm... I didn't want to install too many extraneous packages on Proxmox -- so I am going to try with the root user to make sure there isn't something else that is an issue first.

I have created a regular user on my TrueNAS system and my proxmox system. -- inxsible These regular users do not have any permissions on their respective systems. They are only there so I can use them to ssh into the machine because I have disabled PermitRootLogin in the SSH configs. I have...

Ok ..... Chalk this up to not being in the right home directory. I ssh into the proxmox box using a different ssh username. Then I usually su to get root privs. I have disabled root ssh access and password authentication and use only ssh keys. When I su, I am still in the ssh user's home dir...

Hello, I installed Proxmox 7.1-7 using ZFS as the root file system. I have now setup ssh from my linux box to proxmox. However when i run the zpool command as root it says [proxmox: ~]── - zpool status zsh: correct 'zpool' to '_zpool' [nyae]? n zsh: command not found: zpool Basically all ZFS...

Weird, but 6th time was a charm, I guess I ran it from the UI again -- and chose the local-zfs storage option in the dialog box -- just as I was doing in the command line. restore vma archive: zstd -q -d -c /mnt/pve/media/downloads/dump/vzdump-qemu-102-2022_02_02-13_12_55.vma.zst | vma extract...

I am moving my proxmox server to a bigger server. I was using LVM before but now I moved to a ZFS. I have been able to successfully restore all my clients and they work as expected. However, I am unable to restore my VM. I have tried the GUI as well as the command line When issueing the...

I completed this not by utilizing a cluster, but simply backing up the LXC and VMs onto a NAS and then restoring them back on the new Proxmox 7 install. Now time to upgrade each container

good stuff ! The fohdeesha tutorials for flashing Perc cards is really awesome if you have one of the Perc cards.

@t.lamprecht , Firstly thank you for your detailed response. Uptime is not a huge issue for me because my server sits in my home network. If it's down, it's down. I just don't want to lose hours trying to get my data back. So I think having vzdump backups on NAS will suffice in the beginning...

I have a 2U server with a rear drive caddy that supports 2x2.5" drives. I also have 2x 500GB HDDs that I sourced from older laptops. So I thought I'd setup a ZFS mirror as my boot pool and also use the remaining space for my VMs as they would be faster since they would be local. Secondly I can...

@Neobin is probably correct. megaraid_sas driver is usually reserved for RAID cards. But the Perc H710P can be reflashed to IT Mode. See here. Just be sure to follow the instructions that are for YOUR card or there is a possibility that you might brick your card.

Check your logs and post some detailed information especially dmesg or anything relevant to the disks disappearing. What does it actually mean, they don't show up in the UI or you can no longer access them ?

Good Stuff !! thanks again @oguz

Thank you @oguz . A follow up question. Once I create a cluster -- can I later "un-cluster" it? I really don't need 2 machines running for my home network as uptime is not a massive concern for me.

I have version 6.4-13 on a 1U- 4 bay server. However, I want to migrate the server to another physical box (2U - 16bay) and also make some additional changes like Use dedicated SSDs for the OS & VM disk storage instead of HDDs Create a RAIDZ2 pool as a backup to my TrueNAS data using zfs sync...

That's interesting. I have never done HA with Opnsense/pfSense before... so it might be nice side-project with the HP T730 thin client or an LXC container

Great. Thanks. I will start setting it up -- but first off to ebay for the PSU.
