By the way, I don't used RAID due to server grade hardware. I'm not sure if Proxmox uses soft or hard caching. Could this be an issue with the slow website?

Thanks for the handy tool. Still not sure why the WordPress website is running slow. I suspect the Proxmox webserver is at fault (to handle a slow or heavy WordPress site). I doubled the RAM. I installed W3 Total Cache on WordPress to speed up the site. I deactivated all plugins. Still running...

Thanks, I think the issue is the webserver for the slow loading page. I increased the webserver's RAM from 2 GiB to 4 GiB. If more is needed, I'll upgrade, as I would like this running so I can move on to email servers for the website. root@proxmox:~# pveperf CPU BOGOMIPS: 24743.68...

Hello, I'm not sure if my Proxmox hardware/software configuration is slowing down my virtual server, or if the virtual server is at fault. Any suggestions how to make Proxmox or the virtual server run quickly? (webpages are taking forever to load). I'm worried that if I buy and/or allocate more...

Ok, I had to learn how to add a node. Backups now storing on disc 5, rather than the local Proxmox OS disc.

Ok, I think it's complete now as per my previously mentioned post. Host proxmox OS on ZFS RAID1 on 4 SSD discs. Guests are all non windows. 1 SSD disc for storage. 1 external 1 TB hard disc. Freenas will rsync to pull the storage from Proxmox storage. Hmm, Proxmox auto backup failed with...

Ok, fixed with steps: Proxmox > Server View > Datacenter > proxmox > local > Content > Upload > Content: iso image > Select File… > vm.iso > Upload.

Without zfs, the VM.iso image is in /var/lib/vz/template/iso. With zfs, I can't find VM.iso myself?

Looks like same problem here

Ok, that worked. Only had RAID1. I would prefer RAID6 with the 4 disks, but maybe I'm missing something. My understanding is that Proxmox OS is now running on RAID1 zd0 which is on four discs sda, sdb, sdc and sdd. So, I transferred the VM.iso to /var/lib/bz/template/iso, however...

Thanks. That really worked. (ignore that disks 2, 3 and 4 are now nice zfs tanks currently) Now I think I need to finish off the redundancy on the Disk1 Proxmox OS sda, which should have a RAID with disk2 and disk3, in case disk1 sda breaks. I'm thinking to setup mdadm as RAID for Proxmox, but...

Reading Proxmox's Software_RAID wiki links, it seems software RAID is supported out of the box with ZFS. Looks like I need to setup ZFS, as install mdadm doesn't work. So, does this mean I should install install debian Squeeze/Wheezy/Jessie on sda, the intall mdadm on sda. then RAID sda, sdb...

Ok, for now I'll make RAID on disk1,2,3 sda, sdb, sdc. Disk4 can be a backup storage disk. So, installing mdadm says Proxmox can't install mdadm https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Software_RAID Next research is how to install RAID on Proxmox.

Thanks. So: Machine1, Disk1 sda, 120 GB has Proxmox OS. Machine1, Disk2 sdb 120 GB for backup storage. Machine1, Disk3, sdc 120 GB for backup storage. Machine1, Disk4, sdd 120 GB for backup storage. Machine2, Disk1, sda 1 TB for backup of Machine1, Disk2, Disk3 and Disk4. This freeNAS auto...

Ok, added disk2 as storage. Need Proxmox to read it as storage rather than disk1 which runs the OS. Proxmox > Server View > Datacenter > proxmox > Disks > shows /dev/sda LVM, /dev/sdb partitions, /dev/sdc partitions and /dev/sdd partitions. I added /dev/sdb as storage Directory, however storage...

Thanks, useful information. I'm leaning towards zfs rather than nfs. From the link https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage:_NFS, it says nfs can't to snapshots. Yes, will looks at the scheduler too, once the storage is added. 5 VMs total about 30GB at the moment.

Ok, here's what the Proxmox machine has: root@proxmox:/var/lib/vz# lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 223.6G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 1007K 0 part ├─sda2 8:2 0 127M...

Ok, I gave up on Proxmox. I'm using freeNAS which rsyncs the Proxmox backup onto the freeNAS machine. Works well.
