    Proxmox VE - shared storage type

    Hi @CS- , It is my understanding that it is still in tech-preview. I suspect you'd need to wait for at least 9.1 release. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox

    Suggestions for low cost HA production setup in small company

    One can certainly buy a non-redundant DiskStation on Amazon; however, I’m not sure why that would be the starting point for a business-grade SAN solution. A highly available SAN should be considered the bare minimum in this context. Op specifically described HA SAN in his option E. If your...

    2 Host Cluster with SAN

    Hello @MikaSup , welcome to the forum. We'd need to know more about your exact VM and rules configuration. As well as how you reboot the node. In general, this is a good source for understanding the behavior : https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/High_Availability Specifically...

    Restoring from backup removes existing snapshots

    Interestingly there is already a message about snapshots: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/need-to-backup-broken-proxmox-without-ethernet.174832/#post-812476:~:text=INFO%3A%20snapshots%20found%20(not%20included%20into%20backup) :-) Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for...

    Need to backup broken Proxmox without ethernet

    You will likely need to rename the volume group of the old disk so that there is no conflict, then you'd add a new storage pool that points to the renamed VG. You'd then restore you VM configs , then rescan for disks "qm disk rescan". The disks will be added as "unused" and you'd assign them to...

    Need to backup broken Proxmox without ethernet

    The backup tries to start the VM in suspended state so that the disks can be properly activated. Given your installation is already borked, you can remove the network card from your VM config to bypass this error, if you wanted to get the last backup. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME...

    Custom Cloud Init Snippet - Not working

    You can program the cloudinit file to write and execute a script that would detect the interface name and create correct network file in place, instead of relying on CI for that part of the config. You can create/modify your template to not generate ens name. There are options. Blockbridge ...

    Need to backup broken Proxmox without ethernet

    If you are already planning to use a different installation disk, what stops you from connecting the disk that contains the VM data now as secondary, and then copying/importing it? How to do that depends on your storage configuration. It may be as simple as "cp /some/path/disk.qcow...

    Custom Cloud Init Snippet - Not working

    Here is the documentation: https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/network-config-format-v1.html#mac-address-mac-address This may be the answer you are looking for: Specifying a MAC Address is optional. At least one of these entries is required for external network connectivity...

    Restoring from backup removes existing snapshots

    I understand that you've been burned and can see where you are coming from. That said, user education through pop-up warnings tends to be ignored most of the time. There are many variables at play: automated scheduled backups, usage of CLI or API, and so on. I also believe that most backup...

    iSCSI under performance

    I could be wrong, its been a while since I had to deal with these. You are correct that there is a link for cache sync and other HA traffic. I just don't recall it being used for user data path. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox -...

    iSCSI under performance

    You are correct that it’s a bad idea. However, there is no internal data path between the controllers. The disks are dual-ported and connected to both storage processors simultaneously, but only one processor can own and handle I/O at a time. If an I/O request is sent to the non-owner SP...

    Adding storage to Datacenter

    Proxmox with 48 nodes

    Hi @Nathan Stratton and all, You need clear guidance here: do not do that unless you have a very compelling reason to. a) Your hardware is discontinued and past the end of service, which significantly increases the likelihood of component failure. b) As the number of virtual machines grows...
