    [TUTORIAL] PVE 7.x Cluster Setup of shared LVM/LV with MSA2040 SAS [partial howto]

    Seems i have solved my 'kernel-panic'ing on Node 04 , i still had the debian kernel available on the system, i removed it, as mentioned in the https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Buster as optional. Then restarted it ( ofc a panic came up) and then wanted to record the...

    [SOLVED] Promox 6: problem with noVNC - failed to connect to server

    Are you willing to try a debian-install and moving to PVE6 after ? .. as i am using this type of install for all my PVE machines (4) in a cluster-setup , and i have not faced the issues you are experiencing, next to the fact that i feel more 'in control' when installing PVE and configuring it...

    [TUTORIAL] PVE 7.x Cluster Setup of shared LVM/LV with MSA2040 SAS [partial howto]

    Been playing around a bit more, the behaviour of the newly installed node04 ( the one i directly installed with Buster and switched to Pve6 after) is still kernel-paniccing when issueing a reboot.... i have freed up a 2nd node to play with ( node03 ) which is a upgraded node ( jessie/Pve5 to...

    Cannot create cluster at all

    Not saying it should'nt work, but when i setup the cluster i did it all over commandline - following https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Cluster_Manager#pvecm_create_cluster last node i (re-)added was one i took out cause of disk-replacements and reinstalled it on Deb 10 , then switched to Pve 6.x ...

    [TUTORIAL] PVE 7.x Cluster Setup of shared LVM/LV with MSA2040 SAS [partial howto]

    Strange behaviour found: As in my previous post i am now facing kernel-panics when issueing a 'reboot' on the one node where i tested/gone thu the whole setup. Whereas i am facing other issues on a 2nd node whilst implementing this .. it hangs on shutdown/reboot on shutting down the lockmanager...

    Cannot create cluster at all

    Been running a 4-node cluster now without huge problems for over 1.5 years, just the perils i usually create myself. And till now with help of the docs / forums i've alway been able to get it all back to a 'nice and tidy' state.

    Cannot create cluster at all

    check the following : - on the node you are trying to 'create the cluster' run : pvecm nodes from commandline/console session If this returns information the node you are trying to create the cluster on already is acting like a member of a previous attempt to create a cluster. To be quick on...

    Hello, Just a question : - when you upgraded, did you run the prerequisite script 'pve5to6' and if yes did it reveal/show any issues ?

    [TUTORIAL] PVE 7.x Cluster Setup of shared LVM/LV with MSA2040 SAS [partial howto]

    Update : Seems that this configuration somehow upsets dlm. Every time i now reboot the node ( as i did a few times) it generates a panic Sep 2 22:39:39 node04 kernel: [ 1828.032673] dlm_controld[11954]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f13d2006206 sp 00007ffe68835a08 error 4 in...

    [TUTORIAL] PVE 7.x Cluster Setup of shared LVM/LV with MSA2040 SAS [partial howto]

    Another bit of progression ... To define the shared LV's and their mountpoints i created /etc/lvm/lvmshared.conf /dev/cluster02/backups:/data/backups The one thing that (at the moment) still is a catch is the file should not contain a carriage return ! After that i started working on a...

    [TUTORIAL] PVE 7.x Cluster Setup of shared LVM/LV with MSA2040 SAS [partial howto]

    Made some progress, basically i found out that lvmlockd (by running it in debug mode) tries to retrieve lock information from dlm , and if dlm is not available it 'assumes' it is the master and starts its own lockspace ignoring an already exisiting lockspace on the other remaining clusternodes...

    [TUTORIAL] PVE 7.x Cluster Setup of shared LVM/LV with MSA2040 SAS [partial howto]

    Hi all, I've been working on setting up my MSA2040 (SAS) to be available in more then just sharing a raw LVM due to the fact that offering a raw lvm only supports diskimages and containers. The idea was to also have (shared) storage (directory)presented to pve for backup/snippets/templates (...

    (disaster recovery howto) Recover VM disks of running VM

    Then this means the filter i had set on the NFS storage in the PVE webinterface to backups only is not honored by the underlying process. imho by setting that it _should_ also have restricted the search for disks in those places. i have had the storage shared like this for a long time, only...

    Situation : - 3 standalone nodes with VM's on XFS storage - No Shared storage. - NFS shares on all 3 nodes to eachother to restore backup files from one node to the other. (added as NFS storage, with backup files only selected in PVE) Task : - Introduce new node and setup first cluster node...

    Bug? - Backup job not updated after removing VM

    Thankyou for confirming this behaviour, i have opened up https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1647 In conjunction with this (i have not looked at this, so only assuming) if you were to have like a backup-job for all VM's placed on a host/node would a/the backup job be updated for the...

    [RESOLVED] I have found my problem, it was usage of an FTP- client which implemented a default behaviour of TLS when connecting. As nf_conntrack_ftp cannot detect/see the encrypted traffic additional configuration was needed. in my case : http://forum.directadmin.com/showthread.php?t=50759 gave...
