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

    An update again, as after an update i noticed the manual additions i had made to the lvmlockd unitfile vanished. This lead to the issue where the node no longer successfully joined up with the other lockspaces. For this i also added a class to bring it under puppet control (basically the same...

    [SOLVED] Backup fails with unknown cause

    I found out why ... and the answer was 2 parts : a VM had an iso referenced which was not available on the new box a vm also had a bridge (vmbr1) reference which was not available on the new box IMHO when importing a VM to a new box this stuff should be detected by the import-process and if...

    Recommendation from a client

    So in essence what you are saying is that ProxMox allows 'Overbooking' of storage .... which (both on thin and thick provisioning) is a big No for every admin. My standing on this : Overbooking should _never_ be allowed as it fools the admin unless the admin knows exactly what he/she is doing ...

    Suggestion - Continue using proxmox during iso upload to local storage

    Another option would be to upload the ISO's via sftp (assuming you are running ProxMox on Linux), this will keep your webinterface clean

    [SOLVED] Backup fails with unknown cause

    Hi all, i have a (current) standalone node with ProxMox where in advance of getting it into production to test i copies some VMs from the current prod server. However for some unknown reason backup fails at 100%, and theres no real errorcode i can investigate/solve. Both VMs are stopped, so...

    Deleting multiple backup image from WebUI?

    If something like this were to be implemented i would (under certain circumstances) appreciate it in the following form : - add an additional button next to the regular (single) delete that says 'Multiple delete' , when pressed make a checkbox line for each backup/file appear with a button on...

    Directory storage not mounted on boot

    I guess you installed off the ProxMox iso , i myself installed from Debian Buster and then moved to Proxmox, so i set up local storage by hand (and in /etc/fstab :) To get back to the issue this seems like a timing thing, as i had similar issues with shared storage i solved it by adding a...

    2 host , with cluster manual replication or singles with PVE-zsync?

    Mentioning the word 'single' and or 'manual' anywhere in your question means you have an issue at that point. in short: having 1 host means if its down you are out of the game having a cluster with only local storage means you are still screwed when one node is down High-availabillity would...

    Do I get bruteforced?

    i used to limit ssh connections with geolocation stuff .. but as that worked over tcpWrappers .. and ssh dropped that support its no longer viable .. but just for reference : https://www.axllent.org/docs/view/ssh-geoip/ Additionally as @dietmar mentioned ... it is unwise to 'just expose' ssh to...

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

    Hi all, It has been a while and we have gone thru a set of updates on the services. After running the updates i noticed that my (manual) additions to some unitfiles from PVE were overwritten. Especially the ones on the pve-guests.service where a line was added to let the startup of VM's be...

    [SOLVED] Tutorial : Auto add LDAP users to Proxmox Realm as Administrators

    @Alwin i understand the statement, but : This position goes against the concept of what most companies have in regards of management from a single point. As administering in non-intergration means additional tasks for IT-administration departments ( even if the PVE...

    [SOLVED] Tutorial : Auto add LDAP users to Proxmox Realm as Administrators

    @Alwin as PVE has a default LDAP capabillity i would even go for an enhancement of this. As the current only is aimed at authentication, via a mapping of the UID (or whatever attribute is selected) extending it to include a groupmembership which then lists its rights ... This way the need for...

    How forceful is shutdown -h ?

    Not as far as i know, only indication i have of jobs running is the view of the webUI ( i must confess i have not looked into it deeper) Also a thing i have not found ( if it is even built-in) .. if a job is interrupted a way to start/continue where it left off. i mean for example...

    vm hostnames can not be ping?

    Just a question : in conjunction with DNS we also have DHCP, so what provides your workstation of an IP ? ... i do assume that your proxmox host ( and guests) have a fixed ip ?

    How forceful is shutdown -h ?

    Yes they will interrupt the backup process, and if you enabled reporting per mail it will list it as failed When you issue a : init 6 shutdown -h shutdown -r reboot it will stop the service that is running the backup as its being overruled from system itself and in the report (if emailing it...
