    Brauche ich SLOG/L2ARC?

    ich wollte die Consumer SSD ja auch nur für Testzwecke, um mal zu schauen ob es etwas bringt, z.B. 2..3 Wochen Testbetrieb. Wenn Verbesserung feststellbar, dann kommt eine Enterprise SSD rein.

    Brauche ich SLOG/L2ARC?

    gut. Sind denn 128GB RAM adäquat für den Fileserver oder zu wenig? es soll nebst iSCSI auch Samba drauf laufen, weil einige User unbedingt Windows benötigen. ich habe auf einem bereits bestehenden Proxmox Server 30 VMs, und eben die eine davon mit der Datenbank (eine Altlast, die ich...

    Brauche ich SLOG/L2ARC?

    Hallo zusammen ich möchte einen neuen Fileserver einrichten. Ich habe ein paar bestehende NAS, die möchte ich einstampfen und einen einzigen, grossen Fileserver einrichten. Auf dem sollen dann auch per iSCSI die Images für VMs sitzen, die in Proxmox auf einem anderen Rechner laufen. Der neue...

    Samba file server in LXC container

    I want to setup a Samba file server in an LXC container. I found that it works perfectly fine when I use a privileged container. However, I am unsure if it is a good idea to use a privileged container. I could sleep well better if I used a unprivileged container, but using the exactly same...

    New Proxmox Setup

    yes, I did some more research about this topic and totally agree. It is bad. What about using a container that imports a ZFS dataset? for me the important thing is, I want to be able to use ZFS features like snapshots inside the file server. This is a must. :-D

    New Proxmox Setup

    Good day, I want to set up a new Proxmox server and I am unsure what the best setup is. I want a Samba File Server, with ZFS as the underlying file system to make use of the advanced ZFS features like snapshots and so on. Besides that, I also need a couple of other virtual machines for other...

    ZFS disk usage vs. VM disk size

    Hi all, I thought I mastered the understanding of how ZFS reports disk usage, but I was wrong :-) I have a VM that has a disk having a size of 6TB: 6010GB, to be exact. This VM is, together with others, on a server having a 16TB raidz-2. And the weird thing is that this morning I got an email...

    Storage naming question

    I have a general question because I think I misunderstood something about Proxmox. I have two nodes, and I have configured ZFS on both of them. On node 0, my ZFS pool is called "pond", whereas on my node 1, the ZFS pool is called "tank". I want the disk images of my VMs and CTs to reside on the...

    [SOLVED] Setting up LACP

    Hi, so I have tried the setup as shown above yesterday. The PVE server was connected to a "normal" ethernet port on the switch. Then, LACP was enabled on a other port of the switch, I enabled LACP in the Proxmox control panel and connected the ethernet cable between the 2nd port of my server and...

    [SOLVED] Setting up LACP

    sure, I did that! for now, I have LACP not yet enabled, however, I still wanted to try out how I shall configure the bond. I did it like so: as you can see, I have configured the server's IP address and gateway in the vmbr0, and not in the bond. Is that correct? I tried to remove the IP...

    [SOLVED] Setting up LACP

    Hi Aaron thanks for this clarification. That is indeed not a dramatic restriction. When configuring the LACP, I assume I need to add a Linux Bond and add my two ethernet ports to it. Then, I guess I need to remove the two ports from the vmbr0 bridge and instead, add the vmbr0 to the bond, right?

    [SOLVED] Setting up LACP

    Hi Aaron, thanks for the info. I do not use HA and don't plan to. I mainly use the cluster because it allows me to move VMs around, and administer both nodes in one place. Also, at the moment I don't have a separate connection for corosync. My servers do both have only 2 ethernet NICs.

    [SOLVED] Setting up LACP

    Hello, I have a NAS where I configured LACP to increase its network bandwidth. My switch supports LACP and it does work fine. However the NAS shall also be accessed from a couple Proxmox VMs. To increase the bandwidth for Proxmox as well, I would like to use LACP here, too. However I am unsure...

    How to create an user

    A friend added two users on my Proxmox installation, so both of us could log in with their own credentials. However he does not use his account any more so I deleted his account in the shell via "userdel". I did not know that the user management was possible via the web GUI! So the user...

    [SOLVED] Proxmox backup and restore

    dear oguz, MANY thanks for your hint! Today, I tried it and it works! I did it as follows: in the "storage" view, one can show the configuration of a VM which was used when it was backed up. So I made a fresh installation of Proxmox, then I created a new VM and renamed the ZFS subvolumes...

    [SOLVED] Proxmox backup and restore

    Dear colleagues OK I've got a PVE node in my cluster whose system disk crashed. So the Proxmox installation with all its settings on this particular node is lost. However I believe that the ZFS pool on the other disk should still be alive, and I do have full backups of all my VMs. Two...

    Migrate mdadm RAID

    I have a physical PC with a mdadm RAID that I would like to migrate to proxmox. There are two disks of 80GB each in RAID1 configuration. I first tried to clone them via Clonezilla, but that didnt work. So how should I copy my physical disks into proxmox such that I can virtualise this physical...
