    Cluster storage for a two-node primary/secondary case

    Yeas, that's right, in fact in some installations I have 6-7 VMs, but no more. However I think that if the customer needs will eventually grow, a virtual server can grow in the future easier than adding physical servers. And a virtualized environment IMHO is better even for other tasks other...

    Cluster storage for a two-node primary/secondary case

    Sorry but I can't really understand you. Why switch to another hypervisor if I have 16 other Proxmox installations and I know it well (at least, for what I need to do). I try to make my installations the more similar that it's possible. For this customer it's the first time I need a more...

    Cluster storage for a two-node primary/secondary case

    Eh, I'm actually at budget limit with 2xSATA HDD plus 1 Samsung 850 Pro SSD. And it's working very well I don't blame ZFS, in fact I have nearly 10 proxmox servers with ZFS 2xSATA HDD in RAID1 with good performance, in only the 2 latest servers I put a SSD (Samsung 850 Evo) for cache+log and...

    Cluster storage for a two-node primary/secondary case

    That could really be what I need, I'll do some tests to see how it works but reading the manual seems that is right for my scenario. I can keep the storage of the two machines in sync (well, 15-20 minutes of differences are not a problem) and still keep the great advantages of ZFS (software raid...

    Cluster storage for a two-node primary/secondary case

    My setup should have two server with a replicated file system, and I read that ZFS is not suitable for this setup. So I read about ceph, gluster and drbd cluster storage, I'd need I cluster storage system that can support multiple (2 in my case) disks in both hosts. Reading some tutorial, I...

    Cluster storage for a two-node primary/secondary case

    Thanks, but I can't drop the project, the customer want this. My current proxmox installations are all with zfs raid1 2xSATA HDD, only the latest one have 1xSSD added for journal and cache, and they perform good. Some of the older ones are running with proxmox 3.3 and lvm on top of mdadm raid1...

    Cluster storage for a two-node primary/secondary case

    Customer won't pay for a third server, I can only use a low performance third server with proxmox installed just for quorum if needed, but not good hardware to use as a storage server

    Cluster storage for a two-node primary/secondary case

    Hi. I'm building a two node proxmox setup for a scenario I call "primary/secondary", that means all the VMs (windows on kvm) are active on one node, the secondary node is there with the VMs always turned off, they should be turned on MANUALLY only if the first node has problems, the VM storage...

    Proxmox 4.2 error "Looping too fast. Throttling execution a little."

    Today same errors. After a service pve-firewall restart errors are gone, but I think there will be errors again. And I disabled the Firewall from Proxmox GUI. I don't understand what is going on, it's the only Proxmox installation that is giving these problems.

    Proxmox 4.2 error "Looping too fast. Throttling execution a little."

    Hello. I'd like to start with my congratulations on the very well done job of creating and updating Proxmox, one of the best Linux software I use. I'm writing because I'm having a strange problem on a new Proxmox server installed 2 weeks ago. It's a single server, no cluster, pveversion is...
