    Packages refuse to update - python-ceph-argparse and python-cephfs

    I have a 3-node Promox (6.2) cluster running Ceph (Octopus) as well. For some reason - I have two packages that refuse to update. Proxmox (and apt) tell me there are updated versions - but every time I run an Upgrade (either via the Proxmox UI) or using apt dist-upgrade, those two refuse to...

    Provide AMD SEV to guests

    I'm interested in this as well. https://github.com/AMDESE/AMDSEV#faq-1 mentions that you can use the following command to check if SEV is support: virsh domcapabilities However, this depends on libvirt - which is obviously not present in Proxmox. Is it possible to install the libvirt tools...

    Proxmox vs Debian with Proxmox packages (Proxmox on Debian) - Pros and cons?

    Hi, Currently, I'm using the normal Proxmox ISO installer, to setup some small Promox/Ceph clusters for testing. However, I was wondering what are the pros/cons of this, versus installing vanilla Debian, and the Proxmox packages on top of that? One of our pain points is that Proxmox ISO...

    Clarify TRIM/Discard support for Windows guests in Proxmox?

    Hi, I'm a bit confused about what the current TRIM/discard support My understanding is that enabling the "Discard" checkbox in Proxmox will enable the VM to call "TRIM", and return back unused blocks - which on storage like ZFS (which supports thin-provisioning), can reduce the amount of...

    Where are cluster and task logs stored? (For shipping to log server)

    Hmm for myself - I seem to have files mostly from 2020-07-08 (i.e. around a week ago) up to today - along with some random files from around 2020-03-23: # find /var/log/pve/tasks -exec stat -c %x {} \; | sort 2020-03-23 07:09:47.468022365 +1100 2020-03-23 07:13:52.528000551 +1100 2020-03-23...

    Where are cluster and task logs stored? (For shipping to log server)

    Thanks oguz for the info! However, I'm having trouble finding the info I need in that folder - or maybe I'm not parsing it correctly? My goal is to get a time-ordered list of tasks (i.e. a logfile of tasks), with the timestamp, action, and username for each line. Basically, like you would see...

    Where are cluster and task logs stored? (For shipping to log server)

    I have a 4-node Proxmox cluster. I'd like ship my Proxmox Cluster logs and Task logs to an offsite logging server (e.g. Graylog, Loki etc.) - this allows us to keep track of which users did what actions, and when VMs were created (creation time isn't currently exposed - FR to add this - but for...

    Ceph Octopus

    I can confirm I was able to successfully upgrade a Proxmox 3-node cluster from Nautilus to Octopus. Immediately after the upgrade, the OSDs showed up as out-of-date: I simply rebooted each node one by one, and it seems to be all good now. This cluster didn't have any data stored on the OSDs...

    Ceph Octopus

    Oh this is awesome! I can try this now on my test cluster. I already have a 3-node Proxmox cluster setup with Ceph Nautilus. Should I just do the upgrade, or would you recommend re-installing the cluster from scratch, and installing Ceph Octopus right from the beginning? Also - are there any...

    Ceph Octopus

    I'm on the Ceph testing repos - but it seems to be 14.2.10 (Nautilus) at the moment, I'm guessing they're not ready for us to test yet.

    Ceph Octopus

    Is there any way of testing this (http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-octopus/dists/buster/test/binary-amd64/) yet? =)

    How can you block shell access to a Proxmox node?

    We run a small Proxmox cluster for lab/testing. Users have access to the Web UI, to create/spin up new VMs, and check on the status of the cluster. Is there some permission/ACL we can use to block direct shell access to the Proxmox node? (We are looking to roll out Teleport, or something...

    Ceph Octopus

    Oohhh!!! This is exciting. I wonder how far we are off from being able to install those packages. I noticed there's also a packgage for "Ceph Grafana dashboards" - I wonder what that is...

    How do you remove the last remaining OSD from a Proxmox/Ceph cluster?

    Just to update this - I called systemctl stop ceph-osd@0 multiple times, and it still appeared to be up (according to the Proxmox GUI). However, what did work was simply calling ceph down on the OSD manually: root@example-vm01:~# ceph osd tree ID CLASS WEIGHT TYPE NAME STATUS...

    Unable to backup or view CIFS storage - "Unable to activate storage..."

    I just saw this earlier thread (https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/unable-to-activate-cifs-for-pve-storage.70060/), and thought I'd paste some of the diagnostic commands mentioned there in case it helps with my issue. Here is the output from journalctl -xe: -- The job identifier is 2637. May 25...

    Freenas VM reboots after Shutdown

    I hit this issue as well (FreeNAS running under Proxmox would always reboot when you clicked Shutdown). Curious what the underlying cause is? Why does changing the CPU from kvm64 to qemu64 fix the issue? Are there any disadvantages, caveats or performance implications of using qemu64 here?

    Unable to backup or view CIFS storage - "Unable to activate storage..."

    I am running Proxmox 6.2 I have added a CIFS storage server to the Proxmox config. The NAS is running FreeNAS, and exporting the ZFS datastore via SMB (CIFS). The server is listed in /etc/pve/storage.cfg: cifs: proxmox_backups path /mnt/pve/proxmox_backups #server 10.7.17.95...

    Ceph Octopus

    Is it possible to deploy the Ceph Dashboard as part of the Proxmox Ceph setup? It's seen a lot of improvements and new features in the last few versions of Ceph, and would be great to get it out of the box. Also - what are your thoughts on the new cephadm feature in Octopus? Is it worth...

    Ceph Octopus

    Congratulations on the 6.2 release! Still super excited about Ceph Octopus. Let us know if there's any opportunity to test it, if we're willing to be guinea pigs =).
