    [PROXMOX CLUSTER] Shared disk for VM

    Running a VM as NFS server is your best option. Keep in mind that the host that owns the disks is your single point of failure in that case. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox

    Can I install molly-guard on a pve node?

    At least once in your life, you’ll reboot the wrong system or run rm -rf /. It’s a rite of passage. Usually, you won’t make that mistake again. Since only root can reboot the system, this package won’t prevent malicious reboots - root can always override or remove the barrier. The package also...

    Proxmox and IBM Flashsystem 7300

    Officially, there is no such thing as ZFS-over-FC. You may be thinking that it is similar to ZFS-over-iSCSI, however it is not. The built-in PVE ZFS-over-iSCSI plugin not only internally provisions ZFS volumes inside the backend storage, but also exports them via iSCSI. I am not aware of any...

    Migrating from XCP-NG to Proxmox with Shared Storage and High Availability

    The primary, migration oriented, document is https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migrate_to_Proxmox_VE All the best best practices references in multiple official documents are applicable. There is not a single official "XCPg to PVE" guide. If you are running critical production, then you should...

    Migrating from XCP-NG to Proxmox with Shared Storage and High Availability

    Hi @wesleysilva01 , welcome to the forum. Both LVM/iSCSI and NFS are valid choices. NFS is generally more suitable for file operations and cross-host concurrent access. LVM/iSCSI is block storage, where concurrent access means different thing than the one in NFS. There has always been snapshot...

    Proxmox Directory Documentation - Out of date?

    A QCOW/VMDK/etc can be imported from any location. The "import disk" requires absolute path at this time. These are stored in "VM images". For historic reasons "VM Image" is a VM disk in PVE-speak. There is no GUI qcow import at this time. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared...

    Proxmox installation on Proliant BL460

    What is the IP of your workstation? Can you ping the gateway? Can you ping the PVE server? Can you ssh into PVE server? What is the corresponding output from your workstation? (ipconfig /all ; ip a) What is the output of "curl -k https://127.0.0.1:8006" when run directly from PVE (over SSH or...

    Server Suggestions

    Most of the hardware complaints reported in the forum are by homelab users. A single-packet AMD server from any of the major vendors will do the job just fine. You will likely need at least two Compute servers with additional node for quorum. Or, getting 3 identical ones may be an easiest route...

    Server Suggestions

    Hi @fanton , The server task suitability is not measured by who produced it. Any Enterprise server is generally suitable to run Linux. What you need to ask yourself: - how many virtual machines will I need? - how many virtual cores? - how much RAM? - how much disk space? - how critical is part...

    local-lvm issue adding node to cluster

    @gtrovato , The short answer is "yes" - the fact that you are merging nodes into a single cluster that have different local-lvm definitions is what is causing the question marks. When you add a node to the cluster, there is a warning that any existing configuration on the new node will be...

    VMs are not responding during backups

    @PwrBank , you are correct. This is why Backup Fleecing Storage was created. Prior to it, a write to a non-backed up segment was blocked until that segment could be backed up. If the backup link/storage/cpu are inadequate - it creates bottleneck. Fleecing Storage should alleviate this issue...

    Partitioning VMID space

    Since you are already maintaining an external map of category=lower-upper, I'd try to avoid frequent cluster changes. The easiest way is to add another field in your map for last used, or next free. Another option is to generate next ID on the fly. Here is an example of shell way, you can, of...

    Verify and repair a potentially corrupted bridge (vmbr0) on a single node.

    Hi @dsintayehu , The first step would be to accompany your report with actual saved and running configuration output from "good" and "bad" notes. I.e. output of: - cat /etc/network/interfaces - ip a - ip route - brctl show - ping x.x.xx Add to it similar output from the VM. Do any VMs work on...
