I have configured a 5 node PVE cluster with VMs accessible via NAT. I created ZFS storage on each PVE node (using some of the hdisks) for VM disks. I then set up VM replication from node 1 to 2, 2 to 3 ... 5 to 1 every 10 mins and using HA could get VMs to migrate and (re-)start automatically...

Thanks for your answer. One of the disadvantages of RAIDZ for me is that you cannot extended the RAIDZ (number of drives used) on a node but with a zfspool across the physical cluster nodes (with storage replication) I think I can just add more physical disks to any node and the zfspool at any...

Rebooting the server seemed to clear it. Now usage says: No

I've tried: fdisk /dev/sdc d (delete partition) Select partition number (REPEAT) w (write changes) q (quit) and: vgreduce pve /dev/sdc but get message: Failed to find physical volume "/dev/sdc"

OK I think I figured out that everything (i.e. all the VM and VM template storage) is on the SSD (sda) by running: # lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 223.6G 0 disk ├─sda1...

I have created some VMs and VM templates on a PVE node for testing. The node has a SSD and 4 SAS drives. I installed PVE on the SSD drive and assumed when i selected local-lvm as the VM disks the VMs would all use the SSD for storage too. When I look under Node > Disks now I see that the usage...

I am looking at the option of configuring a PVE cluster with storage replication (using a ZFS pool across the cluster nodes) so VMs and CTs can be moved to another node if the original host node has a failure. This is probably a PVE independent question but: when I create the initial ZFS...

I had been trying to create a private IP (NAT) setup for my VMs and managed to do it as follows, heavily relying on infomation in reference [1]. I have re-titled this as a Tutorial now: 1. In the Proxmox web interface for the host network configuration create a second bridge: vmbr1 with IP...

My other idea is to run the same "Bash script" on two different VMs on two different nodes. THis could also provide redundancy.

I'm exploring methods to provide redundancy/failover for VMs running on a PVE cluster. I am wondering if, using the Proxmox Replication functionality I can: 1. replicate a VM on Node1 to another node (say Node2) in the cluster at a certain time point T, 2. automatically or manually start the...

Yes didn't realise I just had to start the VM and hit escape when Proxmox displayed and then select the drive from available boot options. Thanks

I have done something similar using qm importdisk <vmid> <source> <storage> which says it successfully imported a vmdk external disk image (extracted from .ova) as an unused disk in a VM. The unused disk now appears under the VM but how do I get it to boot from this?

I connect to the internet using an enterprise proxy. It turns out on the Windows 10 system I had forgotten to add a Proxy exception via: "Network & Internet" > "Proxy" > "Use the proxy server except for addresses that start with ...." with the cluster name hostnames (urls). e.g...

I have got 5 nodes with 2 physical NICs connected on each. I have assigned each node (management) a public IP address on my network (10.140.79.X) using the default Proxmox setup and created a Cluster. I plan to create a second bridge for private network for VMs. I also want to install CEPH to...

My work around was to enable the web interface on port 443. I followed these instructions and now can access the web interface from Firefox in Windows (10) without issue: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Web_Interface_Via_Nginx_Proxy

Confirmed I've had to issue this curl command before pveupdate / pveceph install to properly authenticate on the proxy.

Well I dunno...tried again today on the other nodes where proxy authentication wasn't working. First I ran: curl --proxy-ntlm --proxy-user %Username%:%Password% --proxy %PROXY_URL%:%PORT% %SITE_URL% which worked!! Then I could run pveupdate and pveceph install without issue. Either I...

On the server node where the proxy is working I can do: curl -U <username>:<password> -x <proxy_ip_address>:3128 www.google.com and get the google homepage. If i do this from another server node which was set up in exactly the same way (just has a different Ip address on my network) the above...

Sorry...this issue has persisted when installing Proxmox and trying to set the proxy for another two physical server nodes. I follow above steps but at step two (pveupdate) the terminal quickly returns: command 'apt-get update' failed: exit code 100 (NOTE: I also get this reponse when it works...

I'm a little confused then as I disabled RAID on the controller to install Proxmox (get it to recognise my disks). Can I re-enable? Or reinstall Proxmox with the Raid controller configured as you mentioned above? The way I was thinking about it CEPH is effectively doing it's own software version...
