(for @t.lamprecht) Installed Proxmox 7 on two separate machines (one Haswell-based server platform [upgrade], and the one Broadwell-based server platform [new install]), both machines connected to a Raritan KVM with VGA dongle. Install was uneventful in both instances, boot up sequence shows...

Correct. Blue screen boot selection if fine, text during boot up is just fine, but the video mode change before the login screen switches to a bad video mode. Can ssh with no problems, can get to the web console with no problems, can join a cluster with no problems. Thanks!

Did a fresh install of "7" or a rack system connected to a Raritan VGA KVM, but once the system changes video mode to get to the login prompt, I got a "Invalid video mode" message on the KVM. This used to work on Proxmox 6. Any additional configuration change I need? Thanks!

Thank you, that works! George

Bind mounts, however, are not backed up, which seems like an inconsistency to me. Why they would behave one way during a backup and a different way during a clone? Is there a way to create a mount point in such a way that a CT clone will clone the mount point and not the contents? Thank you...

The other option is to use a mount point (mp0, for example) to mount the host machine's cephFS mount, however there is the following issue that makes it cumbersome: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/lxc-container-not-cloning-when-mp-mounts-present.90578/

We already have a large number of CTs with nfs4 mounts that we want to convert to ceph. Converting them to VMs is a lot more trouble, and they use up more resources.

Hello, I am trying to clone a container that has a mp0 mount point, but I'm getting an error "unable to clone mount point 'mp0' (type bind) (500)". Of course I can remove the mount, clone, and then re-add it, but it gets cumbersome after a while. Any particular reason why it is not allowed...

Revisiting this after a while. :) The OS on the LXC container is different from the host machine. When mount.ceph inside the container tries to load the module, it uses a /lib/modules path that is not present on neither the container nor the host. Any ideas? Thank you! george

I am fine doing rsync's at the beginning, and then switching to CephFS mirroring. The initial use of the 2nd cluster would be for backup, however thinking that in the future multi-site cephFS would be the ideal goal (being able to write from both/all sites). Any particular way that the...

I have a similar scenario to the original poster. I am planning a geo-backup scenario of a ceph cluster. For the time being, we only want to replicate / backup the CephFS portion for disaster recovery. I am not sure why you are asking what is the intended CephFS storage. If the main purpose...

I can confirm that I was able to upgrade a 24-node proxmox cluster (17 ceph nodes; 39 osds) from nautilus to octopus with no problems. ceph was in service during the upgrade, and no problems occurred. Thank you!

hmm. Looks like it's removing snapshots, just not all of the ones that it should be according to the settings. I'll monitor it a few more backup cycles and see what's going on. Thank you!

I've set up the backup job in Datacenter -> Backup and the retention policy in Datacenter -> Storage -> <storage node> -> Edit -> Backup Retention. Where can I get the backup log? Thanks

I've set up my cluster to do weekly backups and also set up backup retention to keep weekly 3 and keep monthly 3. However, /etc/pve/vzdump.cron does not have any entries for --prune-backups, as I would expect, and in fact the backups are not trimmed. How can I set proxmox to trim backups...

Documentation says "apt full-upgrade" not "apt dist-upgrade". Any difference?

Looking at the upgrade instructions, I have some questions: - Do i have to upgrade packages on all nodes at the same time, or can I do the upgrade gradually? For example, update packages on hosts with mgr daemons first, then osds, etc. - The instructions make no reference to reboots at any...

Thanks for the detailed reply. Makes sense.

Thank you. Is there going to be an automatic upgrade to Octopus as part of the regular PVE 6.3 releases at some point? Do you guys have dates for PVE 7.x, assuming that either Octopus or Pacific will be present there? Regards, George

Since it is the following year now, I am wondering if you guys have updates on Octopus release for the main repository? Thank you!
