Hi, I have assembled a proxmox environment where I have 3 Windows 2019 VMs running. One of them was promoted to DC, and for some reason the server time started to be off by a few minutes. Running the command: w32tm /query /status Returns that the source is "Local CMOS Clock" on that DC...

Wow, very detailed info here. Took some time to digest it and search more info around to try to understand it the best I can. In a future that I move on to 4k LBA HDD disks, maybe I'll choose to create a new zpool with proper ashift settings and move data over there. But for now I think I'm...

First of all, thank you for your answers, they really help me understanding more about proxmox and zfs. I will try to put the SSD for Proxmox VE as ashift=12, even though they report as 512B, since I do believe they should be 4096B internally. I do believe I have that option on setup wizard...

Hi, I'm in the process of finishing a server build based on proxmox. At this time I have everything almost ready, just doing some disk tests before moving forward for the installation. My hardware config will be like this: 2x Samsung SSD 860 EVO 250Gb (SATA3) - Will be setup on proxmox...

Just to confirm, looking at proxmox roadmap it seems that since Proxmox VE 6.0 it incorporates ZFS 0.8.1, which already provides full trim support, correct? So from that version on, trim is supported on ZFS pool, ZVOL KVM/Qemu VM, ZFS LXC Container, correct? I've been gathering info...

Hi, From what I see from this quoted post, the system was configured as bellow: Proxmox OS: 2x ADATA SX930 120Gb as ZFS mirror (with grub), created by proxmox install wizard For virtualization data itself: 1x ZFS pool, composed of: - zdev-1 (mirror) : 2x Samsung SSD 850 PRO 512Gb - zdev-2...

Hi, I'm jumping on the wagon as I'm also planning a new proxmox server and there is some good info in this thread. I got a bit worried about going SSD for a proxmox build, so I started to think on the safer alternative of going with good old mechanical disks. The pieces are under way, the...

Hi, That's not very good news ... I can find those CPUs and memories on ebay for a good price, it just felt like a brainless upgrade to have a backup server. Maybe if I get the time I'll test this with the current processor (1x Xeon 5120) and memory (4Gb DDR2 ECC), but from what you say, even...

Hi, I currently have an HP Proliant ML350 G5 laying around that I would like to consider for a proxmox ve build. For that I would make an hardware upgrade, so it would get: - 2x Intel Xeon L5420 2.50GHz LGA771 (SLBBR); - Total 32Gb DDR2 667MHz, PC2-5300F-5 (I believe it's the max it can take)...

Thanks. I appreciate your opinion, going for not-so-recent hardware seems a risk, but I believe that going for quality hardware can provide a good solution. I just hope that: - Hardware works well for some years to come (hence going for enterprise stuff); - Hardware provides good performance...

Hi, I'm currently thinking about building a server for a proxmox installation. This will provide a VM environment for a small company, with the following VMs (very basic details here, I know): - 3x Win 2019 Server, 2Gb RAM, 1 vCPU, 40Gb disk; - 1x Win 2019 Server, 4Gb RAM, 2 vCPU, 40Gb disk; -...
