Hi, Just a small added vote of confidence / and a few comments ... (A) It is basically trivial process, if you start with one node in production, run it standalone for a period of time (Months,etc) and then in future, wish to add more nodes / create a multi-node cluster. Simply clean-install...

Hi, I am curious if this sounds vaguely familiar to anyone else. I recall I had an issue with e1000 driver a few years ago but I can't recall seeing an issue like this for quite a while. I've got a machine at a client SMB office, running proxmox with a couple of VMs. It is a 'entry level'...

Hi, sounds to me like the old proxmox install / disk has VGs present which block automated new-clean install. So, either use a different disk, or, destroy the content of that disk first (ie, clobber disk slices) so it is empty before trying the new automated install. I'm not clear if this...

oh and footnotes. - I believe on the client I've got deployed with shared LVM, I do have VM Snapshot as part of VM backups working. Not 100% sure though. My vague recollection is "that it just works as expected". - no experience with ocfs2 so cannot comment. - no comment on other things if I...

Hi, I think I answered your question 3 in my post? ie, - you must manually configure the SAN Backed LVM storage, from each proxmox node. There is not any 'automatic propigation' of shared storage from one Proxmox node to other nodes, for any (!) of the shared storage types, as far as I am...

Hi, to clarify, - the boards boot fine from stock debian media - do you know (precisely) what boot options are passed to the kernel, for a viable boot from debian ? - have you tried the (precisely) same boot options on the proxmox boot loader ? Tim

Hi Francesco, just to confirm, I've got a client with this deployed config and it works just fine. Single disk array with 2 x Fibre ports off the raid controller; 2 proxmox hosts are connected. Proxmox at bare metal / Debian level when fibre ports are cabled you can see the link up messages in...

:-) yes! It is true, Murphy will find a way. For a serious deployment which supports many clients, I think this is a very good design philosophy. ( "Baseline Protection Regulation" if google translate is proper for "Grundschutzverordnung" ). Most of my client deployment projects are 'tiny' by...

Hi, Management network needs multicast support (assuming this is how the proxmox cluster nodes identify one another) (inherently will be typically supported by your average local dedicated hardware..); and ideally should be nice and reliable (ie, to prevent false alarms for "HA detects fail")...

Hi, maybe start with a bit of reading in the wiki docs ? https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore broadly speaking, the clean way to do it - stop the VMs - run backups on all VMs, 'stop' mode, to storage which is sufficient to hold them. By default backups will go to the...

Hi, For any HA Config, you need 'shared storage' which permits access to the concurrent storage from all nodes with impunity. During a HA fail event, when one node is confirmed 'dead' by the remaining nodes, then all VMs who were configured HA and running on the "Failed Node" - are...

Hi, I have just a couple of comments, maybe others will chime in hopefully as well. -- ZFS I believe won't give you a distributed HA fault tolerant storage (aka 'converged hypervisor' environment); but rather a ZFS feature-rich local storage pool on each physical node. So if that physical node...
