    Unable to do PCI Passthrough with Dell R630 server?

    From reading online - I think https://community.mellanox.com/s/article/howto-set-dell-poweredge-r730-bios-parameters-to-support-sr-iov However, I'm not sure if the R630 supports IOMMU? Anyhow - the use-case for this was to run ntopNG in a VM - I wanted to pass through a NIC, with one of...

    Unable to do PCI Passthrough with Dell R630 server?

    I tried enabling the "X2APIC" setting, and rebooting. Still nothing coming up under IOMMU groups - very strange. root@angusmtv-mon01:~# dmesg | grep -e DMAR -e IOMMU [ 0.012962] ACPI: DMAR 0x000000007BAFE000 0000D0 (v01 DELL PE_SC3 00000001 DELL 00000001) [ 1.058586] DMAR: Host...

    Unable to do PCI Passthrough with Dell R630 server?

    Is there normally a separate setting for IOMMU There's a setting for VT-d (default to on). That is currently on. And there's a setting for SR-IOV (default to off). I've enabled that. I did see another setting for "X2APIC" mode that is currently disabled. Is that related at all to IOMMU?

    Unable to do PCI Passthrough with Dell R630 server?

    Hi, I am trying to do PCI Passthrough per the wiki article: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Pci_passthrough I am running Proxmox 6.0 on a Dell R630 server, with an Intel E5-2696 v4 CPU, and two X520-DA2 NICs. I have added the following to /etc/defaults/grub: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet...

    Mirroring incoming/outgoing traffic to a ntopng (security analysis) VM on same node - best practices

    Thanks Stoiko for getting back! =) However, *both* ports are plugged into the same NIC card. (Intel X520-DA2, I believe) (The machine is remote - it's actually on another continent, lol - I'm in Australia, machine is in US). Can I still use PCI passthrough in that case? I assumed I'd still...

    Mirroring incoming/outgoing traffic to a ntopng (security analysis) VM on same node - best practices

    I'm going to try the SPAN port, based on your recommendation =). I don't have a separate NIC available. Hence, I have a single server running Proxmox, with two 10Gbase-LR cables going into it. The plan is to use the first network connection as the main VM bridge interface, and the second...

    Proxmox with FreeNAS VM - disk passthrough vs PCI passthrough for SATA controller?

    I have an existing NAS server running FreeNAS 11.2-U6. The motherboard is a SuperMicro A2SDi-H-TP4F, and I have: 8 x 12TB HDDs 1 x 2TB HP EX950 M.2 NVMe drive 1 x Intel Optane PCIe SSD I'm also running Bhyve to host some Ubuntu VMs - however, these have not proven very stable. Hence, I'm...

    Using SR-IOV for separate VM Traffic, Ceph and Corosync networks?

    Is there any way to split up the VM traffic, Corosync and Ceph networks onto separate VLANs from Proxmox? (I couldn't seem to find anything in the Proxmox GUI about creating a new interface with a specific VLAN tagging, but not sure if I missed it somewhere). I could then potentially apply QoS...

    Using SR-IOV for separate VM Traffic, Ceph and Corosync networks?

    We have a 3-node HA cluster running Proxmox/Ceph. I know the current recommendation is to have separate physical network ports for VM traffic, Ceph and Corosync traffic. We currently do this with a 4-port SFP+ NIC (Intel X710-DA4). However, we're looking at moving to 100 Gbps. The NIC in the...

    3-node Proxmox/Ceph cluster - how to automatically distribute VMs among nodes?

    @tokala Do you think this could be integrated upstream to Proxmox? Also - you mentioned above about "shared networking" - what does that mean?

    How to create multiple Ceph storage pools in Proxmox?

    I just want to follow up that I was able to do this succesfully! The two types of disks I am using for my two Ceph pools are: Intel Optane 900P (480GB) Samsung 960 EVO (1TB) To be honest - both disks are actually NVMe disks. However, I am cheating a bit - I used Ceph to change the device...

    Mirroring incoming/outgoing traffic to a ntopng (security analysis) VM on same node - best practices

    I'm keen to take another shot at this. What do you guys think of this? I have a main Proxmox server that runs all my normal VMs. Then I have a separate server, also running Proxmox that will be used for network analysis. What I'm thinking of is - I will have one cable for the normal VM...

    Feature suggestion: Option to set "auto live migration"

    Hi, Do you know if this "auto live migration", or "automated scheduling" is still on the cards for Proxmox? (Similar to VMware DRS, or oVirt's scheduling features) This other thread mentions a discussion on the PVE mailing list - but I can't seem to find the thread? I don't see the feature on...

    Did the forum software change? (No longer able to use Gmail SSO?)

    Yup, I definitely was on Google authentication - to be honest, I found it super convenient. Ah well. The privacy reasons - was that something to do with GDPR? Or something else?

    Does anybody know if the forum software changed? I'm no longer able to sign-in using Google (Gmail) SSO? Is this a bug?

    How do you synchronise users between Proxmox clusters?

    We have two Proxmox clusters that are geographically quite far apart. They are both behind NAT-ing firewalls, and hence on different Layer 2 networks. What is the best way to synchronise the user databases between them? Is it safe to synchronise /etc/pve/user.cfg between them? Or is there...

    Proxmox login returns HTTP 401 with valid password

    I'm happy to continue communication here - if you are still willing to help me? =) That way hopefully other people can benefit from the knowledge as well! (I would also love to help improve the Proxmox docs as well, but that's another story). Got it. So the browser client should be the one...

    Has /etc/pve/domains.cfg changed locations in Proxmox 6.0?

    Ah great - thanks! I can confirm it works. I was thrown off, because the /etc/pve/domains.cfg file on another server had sections for pam and pve: pam: pam comment Linux PAM standard authentication ... pve: pve comment Proxmox VE authentication server However, it seems these aren't...

    Proxmox login returns HTTP 401 with valid password

    @dcsapak - Hmm, are you saying that the proxy needs to do something special to pass a cookie on? Or could the cookie somehow be tied to a specific IP address or machine? (Is there any chance this cookie behaviour has changed in Proxmox 5.4 vs Proxmox 6.0)? What could I try to diagnose this...

    Has /etc/pve/domains.cfg changed locations in Proxmox 6.0?

    Hi, I am attempting to setup LDAP authentication in Proxmox 6.0. Previously, on Proxmox 5.4 - I had to edit the /etc/pve/domains.cfg file, in order to add the new LDAP realm - as per the Proxmox documentation at https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/User_Management#pveum_authentication_realms - e.g...
