Surely new is new, and that’s even greater when it comes to deal with new approaches . But as I think of server with many disks I start to think that it is less hardware prepared for handling hardware issues and failures with its part. 3par has 2 controllers so when one will fail second one will...

You're quite right, storage I listed above is not PVE-specific at its birth so no special optimization was made (poor HPE :) ). So, the only way for us to play with that SAN is to go with thick LVM (thick itself won't bother), so at least we'll end up with shared storage and we'll be able to...

I used to use standalone PVE hosts, with local attached disks. Nice and tiny setups :) Now I have a chance to set up PVE cluster with shared storage. It involves some like 2 groups each consists of "6 hosts and 1 SAN". All hardware to be rented so we can make some adjustments at this point...

But https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_6.x_to_7.0 and https://proxmox.com/en/news/press-releases/proxmox-virtual-environment-7-0 both not claiming its beta nature. Seems this is the release anyway, itsn't it?

I have handy server I can play with (but not to kill it). Its /etc/apt/sources.list looks this way: deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster main non-free contrib deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster-updates main non-free contrib deb http://security.debian.org buster/updates main non-free...

A friend of mine have set up a host for webdev purpuses and after my advice used fresh PVE instead of initialluy choosen Hyper-V. The host is at datacenter, and they provided only one IPv4 address, and renting more is a bit tricky there. So, my friend installed nginx at Proxmox host itself...

Dealing with several PVE hosts, all of them are standalone, I want to know disk of each VM in some algorithically easy way. The problem that, some of VMs are raw or qcow2 files, some are stored in zfs volumes. I suspect I can only scan /etc/pve/qemu-server/*.conf files for virtio/scsi/ide/sata...

I did that, no clear picture. VMs are very low intense on I/O, and the only thing I see is zfs-related processes. But I suspect 20+% of wearout for 2-3 months is high a bit for zfs scrub mostly.

I have single PVE server (6.4, community repo) and I noticed It has constant iodelay > 0 even when host is almost idle. The host is very low loaded, so not expected to see that. There is single m2 NVMe disk on board (Samsung 970 EVO Plus) installed mostly as a test disk, and couple of Intel 545...

You see, this is some some small company produced software and the author is kind of non-pleasant person who think everyone will try to steal his software (not that case, but we can’t prove him anything). This time (of 4->16 Mb cache change) we almost ready to pay him for reissue the license for...

Thank you, but I just can’t find how to change reported cache size for virtual CPU and your links seems not to help. I see I can report CPU mode and flags, but not cache? May you please advice the magic how to set CPU cache size that is seen by guest OS?

I got a bit unusual question related to virtual CPU as it seen in VM. I need to copy VM with some rare and licensed software from old PVE host (4.x, and old hardware) into new one (PVE 6.2, much newer hardware). The software itself bound its license to id string consists of CPU info bits...

May you be aware, are there any time limits for agent-based actions and how much time agent has to do whatever it want? That is, agent receives the signal and start its preparation but it takes too long and snapshot/replication starts anyway in small time?

I try to use pve-zfsync to replicate a VM, and so far it looks quite good. The VM itself is a Cenos 7 with nginx/apache/mysql web site server. My concern is, while data VM disks will be replicated nicely, the data in the VM's RAM (mostly MySQL data) won't be transferred so the replicated VM may...

So to say, watchdog was right: RAID card failed and IO become too slow and buggy and stucky, so IPMI based watchdog detected is as hangs and rebooted the server. Thank you anyway!

Planning to implement pve-zsync to do regular (routine) off-site VM replication, and it looks like I understand all my backup steps but can’t figure out the recovering steps: It says, first, I need to disable the replication for VM. Ok, that's understandable. Then, I can “send the VM or...

No corosync, and watchdog mentioned only as reboot (boot) was in progress so grep returns only these: Dec 15 11:49:07 hostname kernel: [ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.4.34-1-pve root=/dev/mapper/pve-root ro quiet nmi_watchdog=0 Dec 15 11:49:07 hostname kernel: [...

I use Supermicro server with PVE 6.2. I did the watchdog setup this way: /etc/default/pve-ha-manager: WATCHDOG_MODULE=ipmi_watchdog /etc/modprobe.d/ipmi_watchdog.conf: options ipmi_watchdog action=power_cycle panic_wdt_timeout=10 /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet...

I have several KVM VMs on PVE host (both windows and linux guests), all VMs are have qemu-agent installed, and PVE web interface show VM’s IPs. But I can’t find a way to get these IPs from script run on PVE host. Please advice! Should be some API call or some way to poll qemu-agent I suppose...

Thank you! So keeping risks in mind, there is no point in using Debian package and better wait for yours package release, right?
