    FC San Boot Installation: Fails to enable Multipath kernel boot argument during ISO boot

    I believe for FC boot the advice has always been to install PVE over Debian: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_13_Trixie And in this case, you'd use standard Debian instructions for SAN boot. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox -...

    data lost for time window

    Sounds like my theory was right :-) That said, I believe PBS , which uses similar approach (or should I say was the first to use this approach) , has this situation under control. IMHO a backup solution that leaves your data at risk when host runs out of local space should find a way to monitor...

    [Help Needed] Veeam on Proxmox Error: "Failed to prepare disks for restore"

    Hi @ThiBot , welcome to the forum. PVE9 is not supported by Veeam yet. There are workarounds that are mentioned both in this forum and in Veeam's https://forums.veeam.com/kvm-rhv-olvm-pve-schc-f62/proxmox-version-9-linux-vm-backup-restore-fail-t99714.html#p550932 Blockbridge : Ultra low...

    Deploying a colo

    It seems to me that the OP used the wrong terminology when describing their goal. Colocation means providing space in a data center for someone else’s compute, storage, and networking. Colos also provide shared network ingress/egress and, of course, power. In some cases shared networking or...

    Best Practice: shared scratch disk on Proxmox host

    Thats what Samba/CIFS (or NFS) does for you - presents a storage location available for network nodes (NAS - network attached storage). If you install and configure your CIFS service inside a VM, it should still be available to all machines on your network. Assuming you have your network...

    Deploying a colo

    @dmca7919 , the choice of NAS solutions is very vast. Given what you have shared about your current infrastructure and budget, frankly, I am not sure what would be a good solution for you and your customers. Good luck in your endeavor! Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage...

    Deploying a colo

    @smueller@TK , you've done a great job organizing and presenting data. I do wonder regarding this point: I am always surprised when a discussion about business critical infrastructure design does not presume that NAS (or SAN) is generally deployed in an HA configuration. Blockbridge : Ultra...

    Script to automatically migrate stopped/failed VMs?

    Hi @edd , The last few words in your question are critical to the outcome in your situation. If your VM is using local storage and that storage is gone - there is no way for HA system to migrate/recover it. You'd need a pre-existing replication in place, i.e. ZFS replication. Running HA...

    Best Practice: shared scratch disk on Proxmox host

    Hi @AndyInNYC , I have not had recent experience with Samba. Perhaps someone else will chime in. One thing is certain - your request is completely unrelated to the topic of this forum "Proxmox VE: Installation and configuration". You may also reconsider installing Samba service directly on...

    How to move a VM from one cluster to another

    It is using remote-migrate under the hood, one can do the same it via "qm remote-migrate". Now that we know they use NFS, presuming they are not sharing the same Export across clusters, they may be able to cp/mv/ln the required files. However, as mentioned - IDs may need to be changed both in...

    How to move a VM from one cluster to another

    Hi @iwannabfishn , The easiest method is not to go behind the curtain and manipulate the files outside of PVE. If you are running PVE9 on both sides, you can remote-migrate the VM, although it does require double the storage. Another option is to Backup and Restore. If you do decide to...

    [SOLVED] Custom Cloud-innit file backup issues

    Hi @juronja , When you are using built-in options for CI, they are saved into VM config file which is located on the special clustered file system https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_Cluster_File_System_(pmxcfs) When you are saving the file to a local folder of the node - it stays there.

    iSCSI under performance

    Hi @pmvemf, I realized that I did not answer some of your questions: Our test WAS performed in a cluster. There are no Proxmox specific cluster-aware QoS features that would limit your storage performance. That said, there are some behaviors in the Linux SCSI stack that can clamp down on...

    [SOLVED] WinXP conversion from esx to pve refuses to boot

    Digging deep in the memory archives, when/if you have the ISO, you may be able to do a recovery (safe?) boot to see if the disk/installation is visible. You may still need to provide proper drivers/controllers. You may then be able to "repair" mbr/boot. You can also try to change QEMU version...
