define cheap :-) all my drives are desktop grade.so they are cheap. mostly a mix of Toshiba, WD and Seagate 7200rpm.

if new disks are the same size or larger you could have just use replace option or detach/attach option I am not sure if you can do this if new disks are smaller then existing , but if they are the same size or bigger you could do "zpool replace <yourPoolName> <oldDisk> <newDisk> " OR...

thank you guletz. I have checked All of mine drives item 191. ALL of the DELL drives show counts over 2000 so I suspect they all going bad. I have no vibrations in the chassis as far as I can tell. all fans are medium speed low noise and PSU is ATX 760W low noise low vibration PSU. out of...

hi optimistic, as people pointed out already BIOS raid is not a real raid. there are only a handful of MB with a real hardware raid controller on board. most of the MB have so called fake raid which is not supported my most OSes. and it will create a headache for you if something go wrong...

Hello everyone. I have a home proxmox setup on an oldish Super Micro Opteron server. Supermicro SC846 24 Bay 2 AMD Opteron Hex Core 2431 @ 2.4Ghz for total of 12 cores 49GB RAM 3 x Supermicro's SAT2-MV8 SATA controller (based on the Marvell Hercules-2 Rev. C0 SATA host controller) I am...

I have a home box with Proxmox VE 5.2 all is running well and all but I want to have an alert emails when something is wrong. I recently had an issue with one drive failing on me and as I am running ZFS mirror pools no data was lost but I would like to get an alert sooner rather than later. I...

Hi, I am not sure if I ask the question properly when I search but so far I did not find any threads dealing with what I need to do. so here it goes. I have a single Proxmox node setup on ZFS. when all is done you have a local store "local(pve)" and a "local-zfs(pve)" store both of them...

if you use ZFS you can use ZFSNFS or something like that. I am also just setup a single node Proxmox with local storage (that is I have a single machine with 10 drives) works ok. my server is older dual opteron with 2 CPU 6 cores each and 49GB ram. what I did though, is setup 2x120GB SSD for...

yes reformatting the disk is a problem. I meant simply that if you boot from LiveCD or recovery CD, this way the pools are not mounted/imported gdisk should be able to destroy and recreate the partition table with no issues, and you do not need to install any additional software. but your way...

if you going to destroy "rpool" anyway and the drives only contain that one pool. why not simply do gdisk or is it parted? and drop and recreate the partition table? it is a build in tool, no need to install anything and it is fast.

well without proper info on what hardware was used and what was the targeted setup was (I supect a 2 node cluster of some sort since OP used 2 servers), it is difficult to troubleshoot the issues, even with details like that. but I have been playing with Proxmox setups for the last 2 years...

thanks. I did the setup and it works fine. I also figured out the sharing of tank0 and tank1 using turnkey FileServer container. looks very very good.

well, I really do not want to mix anything. I do not want to add the 1TB to the rpool, I was thinking if I could say create an additional pool, say "pvstore", and add it as a local storage in the data center tab. so the node can use it but the main boot pool is clean and not slowdown much. I...

Hi everyone. I have finally rebuild my home server to run Proxmox. been playing and planning to do it for very long time but never had time. no I do have some free time so start moving. my target is to have a single node host where I will run Proxmox for all my VM needs, but I also want top...

I see. I do not use hosted servers so not always sure how it works. As for changing MAC you can clone it to vmbr0 if needs be. I just build out a proxmox pfsense router replacement. A small sff Lenovo pc with proxmox and pfsense vm. But I have 3 nice. So one is for wan, connects to my isp modem...

Nice setup. But I am confused. Isn't proxmox creates vmbr0 on install? Or you reconfigure the setup after to drop vmbr0? Also, with your config pfsense is only for VMs Host is open.

I guess it is a hosted setup. So if you only want pfsense to be used between outside and VMs. I am not sure you need a second ip. Create a second bridge. Proxmox creates vbr0 so create vbr1 attached to nothing. Add both bridges to of sense vm. Vbr0 as wan vbr1 as lan. And route all tragic...

Thanks. That worked. I got second ip on the node1 and setup of sense vm with new schema. All is up and seams to be working fine. I get all my devices on new 10.10.1.x schema. Still testing now but all lools ok. Next steps is configuring of sense to Bob and such. And setting up my second proxmox...

OK, not sure if what I want is a good way of doing this but here is my issue. I am building out a Poxmox host PVE1 to host one or two router VM. my goal is to have a functioning router running in proxmox hosted VM and to have ability to play with different router distros safely while running...

That is a good goal. Gives you enough room to run a good number of VMs. So for now just try to keep the system load manageable based on your current system resources. And read all the manuals and how-to you can find. The community here is very helpful.
