    Noob Looking for some advice on backing up proxmox server

    This is absolutely possible. Joining a cluster is very straightforward. And the documentation for leaving a cluster is fairly simple when there isn't any shared storage. Migration may take a while depending on the VM size, but it's definitely better than an attempt using USBs...

    Noob Looking for some advice on backing up proxmox server

    You will get a lot more bang for your buck by using PBS (Proxmox Backup Server). Once set up, backups are handled automatically and invisibly. As well as storing multiple points in time through deltas, meaning you get a large amount of deduplication. For example: My 15 VMs each have 20 restore...

    2+q cluster with shared/replicated storage

    I am building a cluster with 2 PVE hosts and a quorum host. Each PVE host is running local storage with hardware raid. I would like have it set up in such a way that in the event of a node failure, all VMs running on one host can be restarted on another. Ideally with clustering, but replication...

    Disk suddenly showing empty but cannot be used

    This has fixed it! Tested on vm-100 and it was able to power on, then running lvchange -ay BulkPool fixed all of them. Thank you so much!

    Disk suddenly showing empty but cannot be used

    So I got that deactivated and I ran the suggested command. It's now showing the disk as using 800Gb, which is a step forward for sure. However I'm not able to start any of the virtual machines or containers still. I attempted a reboot thinking that would fix it but it put me back to where I was...

    It appears the disk is active: root@proxmox:~# lvchange -ay /dev/BulkPool/BulkPool Activation of logical volume BulkPool/BulkPool is prohibited while logical volume BulkPool/BulkPool_tmeta is active.

    Disk suddenly showing empty but cannot be used

    It was more to protect around me breaking settings instead of hardware failures. It's saved my butt once when I changed a disk config on a VM. But hardware failures, you're right, it's no help. I apologize, I'm pretty new to the forums. Does staff browse to look at issues like these? Or do I...

    Disk suddenly showing empty but cannot be used

    Thanks for the commands to run, I've got them all listed below. I've also started the long smart selftest that will complete in approximately 6 hours. The SMART test seems to have passed and the volumes seem okay, but disk management has always been my weakest point. It does complain about one...

    Disk suddenly showing empty but cannot be used

    Recently the primary non-os disk for my proxmox install is showing as 100% free despite also showing it contains several hundred GB of data on it. Any VM that attempts to boot that was on that disk is unable to boot. And attempting to create a new VM using that disk also fails. I'm suspecting a...

    Cannot Create/Join Cluster - No Networking Available

    I've just installed proxmox on a server, recreated all my VMs from esxi, and am now working on creating a cluster between two hosts. Host1 has all the VMs on it (3 LXCs and 2 VMs) while Host2 is brand new. Both are on DHCP with static leases. I was able to create a cluster on Host2 just fine...
